Posted March 16, 201114 yr I decided to create the thread for the fourth single from LOUD since it'll be announced anytime now. A lot of speculation has been going round as to what Rihanna's fourth single will be. Rihanna's long time video director, Anthony Mandler tweeted this; @anthonymandler anthony mandler emotional light.....raw, and inspiring. Ckb. 9 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® 'CKB' is the slang for 'California King Bed' but I'm not sure wether he is talking about Cali King Bed or something else, but it pretty much looks like its the fourth single TBH.

March 17, 201114 yr 'California King Bed' is BRILLIANT. And I for one CANNOT WAIT to hear it on the radio/see the video etc... :wub:
March 19, 201114 yr It's not my favourite on the album, but I do really like it and think it's a great single choice. Will show a different side to her too
March 19, 201114 yr I think it'll do similarly to 'Te Amo' and 'Hate That I Love You' but should help sell more albums I think.
March 19, 201114 yr I really love this song, and it's one of my favourites from a rather poor album, BUT the label sure know how to chose the singles! If only 'Love the Way You Lie pt. 2' had been released, the singles would've been PERFECT (with 'Only Girl' just less so than the other four)!
April 2, 201114 yr Author Rihanna is performing 'California King Bed' at the American Country Music awards with Jennifer Nettles (from Sugarland) tomorrow night ^_^ Who would've thought Rihanna would ever perform at a country awards show :lol: Move over Taylor Swift :P Here's a pic of Rihanna and Jennifer Nettles; http://yfrog.com/h0xp5goj
April 2, 201114 yr Is this officially the 4th single then? She hasn't said it yet has she? Even though its obvious
April 3, 201114 yr Yes, it is. Here's an article of Rolling Stone about the video filming: Rihanna is [on March 17]at a soundstage in Hollywood, expanding her brand even further. She’s the centerpiece of Nivea’s 100th-anniversary campaign, a 1.5 billion dollar marketing effort including TV spots and sponsorship of her summer tour. Today she’s filming the video for her next single, “California King Bed” which Nivea is helping underwrite in exchange for using the song in her ads. Jay-Z is in the building too, showing his support while Cuban. But when Rihanna isn’t ready, even Hov has to wait. “What up, fellas!” Rihanna says as she strides on set, wowing a bunch of union guys in cargo shorts with her flowing see-through nightgown and white lace underwear. She’s about to film some scenes with Nathan, a model she hand-picked herself. There were actually two finalist, so yesterday they both came to the set to show Rihanna their abs. Nathan’s clearly won. Today she greets him with a handshake and an icebreaker: “Hi, I’m Rihanna, nice to meet you. No boners.” The cameras roll and as they lie there, caressing in bed, her song plays over the speakers. A slow sexy ballad about skin on skin, it includes a rather risque line about having “a little last night on these sheets” – which is presumable not a reference to Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturizing Creme.
April 4, 201114 yr She's AMAZING. I really love her/this song so much. Rihanna levels are at an all time high. :wub:
April 4, 201114 yr She looks really old in that video! I think it's the short hair/respectable clothes haha
April 4, 201114 yr I haven't got the album yet but I've downloaded this song upon hearing it's the next single and I really like it! It's not as good as the other singles from this album but it's definitely as good as Rihanna's other singles, if not better. She so GOOD at the moment.
