Posted July 30, 201113 yr Rihanna has almost finished working on her sixth studio album, producer Verse Simmonds has claimed. Simmonds produced Rihanna's latest single 'Man Down' alongside Jugganauts partner Sham 'Sak Pase' Joseph, and has revealed that the pair have also been helping out with the new record. "From what I understand, she is closing the album up now," Simmonds told MTV News. "We did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well." "They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts," Simmonds added, before teasing that the two may also produce a third Rihanna track. He also said that he is "99.999%" sure that the Jugganauts' contributions will make it onto the final record. Earlier this month, Rihanna was named 'Woman of the Year' by Vogue Italia for her extensive charity work and success as a solo artist. Rihanna recently confirmed that 'Cheers' will be the sixth single to be taken from her platinum-selling album Loud. EXCITING!
July 31, 201113 yr That was quite quick! :o I saw this on DS earlier and was quite shocked she's finished so soon! But then again she has had an album out each year since 2005, so it makes sense she keeps following the pattern, and it's less of a wait for new music - which is always good of course!
July 31, 201113 yr She's literally like a machine/product! Thankfully she churns out good pop songs every era. I'd really love another Rated R type album where it's obvious more time was spent on it and that she had more personal involvement in the process, Loud was nowhere near as good but still 'decent pop'.
July 31, 201113 yr When is the new album going to be released? As I thought there was a Loud re-release planned for this year?
July 31, 201113 yr Author She's literally like a machine/product! Thankfully she churns out good pop songs every era. I'd really love another Rated R type album where it's obvious more time was spent on it and that she had more personal involvement in the process, Loud was nowhere near as good but still 'decent pop'. I completely agree, 'Rated R' is still my favourite album from her :wub: I do really like 'Loud', but like you said it kind of felt impersonal.
July 31, 201113 yr I'm loving her more and more with every era. Each era is like an improvement on the last. It works so well for her and what's more impressive, is the fact she doesn't spend too long between each era recording new material for an album. Some artists would kill to make albums as good as hers in just a short space of time. I'm really, REALLY looking forward to it. But surely there's a limit? Surely she can't go on for much more longer producing one of the best Pop'n'B records...
July 31, 201113 yr :o Very exciting! I would love another album similar to 'Rated R' but that album did reflect her personal life. A mixture of GGGB and Loud would be great - songs like Rehab, GGGB, TAB mixed with WMN? and OG(INW). :wub:
July 31, 201113 yr OMG YES!!! :cheer: :yahoo: I can't wait for new Rihanna tunes. Loud was such an excellent era (excluding CKB) so another album later this year would be AMAZING :wub: I'm just hoping her lead single isn't a disapointment (like Russian Roulette) Am really looking forward to seeing Rihanna back at number one in my personal charts :kink: I'm sure whatever she releases will be great, I'm worried she may have peaked but I'm confident she'll be great
July 31, 201113 yr But surely there's a limit? Surely she can't go on for much more longer producing one of the best Pop'n'B records... Tbf Music Of The Sun and A Girl Like Me were pretty patchy, it's only since GGGB she's been among the best. I still think she'll be top of her game. The only single of hers I properly dislike is We Ride actually :o I sound like such a loon :drama:
July 31, 201113 yr I expected her to release a greatest hits next but i'm glad she isn't. A new album is much more exciting.
July 31, 201113 yr What would she call her greatest hits? 'Good Girl Gone Bad RiRi-Loaded'? :P I'd love a greatest hits collection along with a DVD with ALL her videos on there. (Like Britney's 'Greatest Hits: My Prerogative' - but include ALL songs and videos :P)
July 31, 201113 yr Author It still feels a little too early in her career for a GH I reckon. I'd prefer if she did a J.Lo and wait a while.
July 31, 201113 yr I'd rather she re-released 'LOUD' :( I feel that 11 tracks wasn't enough :P she's going really fast with her albums. Regarding the greatest hits, she will have one hell of a catalogue :o the amount of hits that she's had, either way, it'll be an amazing greatest hits.
August 1, 201113 yr I recon this could be an EP type album, from the clues given it seems likely! She said on Twitter, not a new album, not a re-release but YES to new music! So sounds like an EP to me!
August 1, 201113 yr What would she call her greatest hits? 'Good Girl Gone Bad RiRi-Loaded'? :P - Don't Stop The Music (or Won't Stop The Music) :P - Shut Up and Listen :P It doesn't work like 'The Sound of Girls Aloud' unfortunately. :( Maybe Ultimate Rihanna would be the title whenever it's released.
August 1, 201113 yr Maybe Ultimate Rihanna would be the title whenever it's released. She ain't no Kylie! :P ;)
