Rihanna's ANTI is her 'magnum opus.'
The 31-year-old singer took three years to create her 2016 album and the star's vocal producer Kuk Harrell believes it is her best work to date, calling it a 'game-changer.'
'ANTI is absolutely her magnum opus - it was a game-changer,' he told Billboard. 'I think [the album] made everybody get back to a point where they took their craft seriously as opposed to the cookie-cutter rhythmic stuff.

'They didn't just jump in the studio, put four bars together and sing a hook over it. In this album, you can hear that we focused a lot on detail,' he added.
Kuk first worked with Rihanna on her 2007 single Umbrella, which he co-wrote with his cousin Tricky Stewart [founder of Atlanta's music production company RedZone Entertainment] and The-Dream and he believes ANTI showed fans who Rihanna is an artist.
He said: 'Rihanna has always known who she as an artist, but with ANTI she developed more of what she wanted her music to convey.
