The wheel of time and the music industry are constantly moving, with records of legendary artists’ being replaced by newer ones almost every summer. However, there are certain icons whose footprints simply cannot be erased, even despite them consciously trying to do so, and Rihanna happens to be the best example of the case. Despite her extended hiatus, fans are willing to take anything she throws their way, even a The Smurfs
trailer.
