It seems like Rihanna is still working on her highly anticipated eighth studio album, even during her vacation in Barbados.

The Barbadian star recently returned home to be with her family for the holiday season:

Also, she always makes sure she enjoys her time staying there by soaking up the sun:

However, the good times do not stop RiRi from working on her upcoming record, as she took to her Instagram account on Monday to let fans know that the follow-up to her 2012 "Unapologetic" album is on its way.

She posted a pouty selfie taken at the recording studio, wearing a headphone. "brought work heauxm [home]," she wrote in the following caption:

Meanwhile, the "Stay" singer has reportedly registered 11 brand new tracks off her new album -- according to The Sun (via Unreality TV), the "#R8" songs that she has protected with the publishers include Glass John-produced "Kiss It Better," which she recently teased via Instagram, as well as "All Night," "Ignite Me," "Ehh," "I Saw a Girl," "Intoxicated," "Overload," "Transducer," "Drive Alone," Where I Belong" and questionable "Burritos."

However, RiRi has yet to confirm whether the aforementioned tracks will actually make the cut for the upcoming record's tracklist or not.

The publication also claimed the song credits indicate that the "Stay" singer has been working with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder.
