Exciting!!! Who just teased a new song online? Rihanna did! The Navy leader uploaded to Instagram on Thursday, March 5th, a two 15-second previews of a brand new song from her upcoming eighth studio album, known by many as "R8", titled "Higher".

The short clips (watch below) shows Rihanna closely filming a speaker dock which an iPod that is playing "Higher" is placed on.

This whiskey got me feelin’ pretty / So pardon if I'm impolite / I just really need your ass with me”, sings RiRi over a vintage-sounding piano and strings-based melody.

I’m really loving the sound of this. I mean, I too was shocked when I first heard "Four Five Seconds", as I never imagined Rihanna would release a super stripped-down song as her lead single, but with time I ended up liking the song, and now that we know that Rihanna's forthcoming Kanye West executive-produced album is going to be all about this stripped-down genre I have gotten used to the idea and now I’m really open-minded about Rihanna doing this kind of music. I’m going to fully support her because a) it’s Rihanna, b) I’m kind of digging this style on her now, c) it’s going to help her improve her vocals and d) the follow-up will definitely have to be a 'catchy' one again as I doubt her label will let her release two albums of this same genre consecutively.

Back to the “Higher” previews, it may only be 30 seconds but I’m already loving "Higher" more than “Four Five Seconds”. Second single maybe?

Thoughts?
