Inside Rihanna's "Comeback" Album!
Filed under: Justin Timberlake > Rihanna > Music Minute > Pharrell > Kanye West > Jay-Z > Chris Brown
If the rumors are true, Princess RiRi's upcoming album is going to be legendary!
Unknown sources over at Def Jam are talking up Rihanna's latest musical venture, remaining pretty hush hush over the specifics but tickling the world's balls with some killer info about the album.
Ri's working with a whole gang of collaborators: Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Soulja Boy, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams, just to name a few!
Major talent, bbs!
The album will reportedly be a complete change in sound for the Princess, with more rock and pop notes than the last album. Ri's apparently been extremely particular about song choice for the album and has been slaving over the lyrics and melodies, those of which sources at Def Jam are saying will "mark the spirits forever."
Intense!
There are also said to be a number of duets on the album, one of which was apparently to be with Chris Brown but was quickly canned after, well.. you know.
The album name will be kept under wraps until the "last moment," but Def Jam insiders say the album will highlight a more mature, original Rihanna than we've seen in the past.
Can't wait!!!!!

Not soulja boy!! he sucks ffs!
Actually I CAN wait. Hopefully she can go back to maybe doing more R&B and less techno pop.
Just to name a few?You named them all!
Soulja Boy is NOT major talent.
If you think he is perez, there's something wrong with you.
Strange how amifirst posts as soon as a new story appears. Obviously it is Perez desperately trying to get people to his site now that it is in the shitter.
It doesn't matter who's on that album, she still can't sing. Don't get me wrong, I LUV her style, but her singing is atrocious!
sounds promising. damn, i know this comment is kinda left field, but i wish AALIYAH was still alive. she was starting to infuse more rock into her sound which seemed more organic than what rihanna is doing right now.
Lovely SISTA "dipped in the lightest chocolate". A beauty.
Why dat bitch be wit' Chris Brown, a hustler and a user ?
Some SISTAS just don't get it, do they. They don't need "da brutha" when day be makin' the BIG MONEY NOW !!
boring…
Why is each album by any artist these days called a "Comeback Album"
Soulja Boy ruined it for me … her shades are nice though.
Her songs are catchy, but the girl sucks live.
Perez, don't include Soulja Boy in the category of major talent.
Wow..I remember when singers were able to create legendary albums w/o an army of big name celebrities. Only pure talent can pull off something like that by themselves these days. Its kinda sad, borderline pathetic.
Why can't she make music ALONE?
Okay.. but why does she ALWAYS have to collaborate with so many people.. I don't like it when artists do that.. But I'm sure the album is gonna be a succes..
Rihanna featuring sweet chupacabra featuring frank zappa
featuring vince shlomi featuring billy mays featuring creflo dollar featuring
perez hilton featuring gwen stefani featuring the game….
now THAT would be a collaboration
Didnt even notice she wasnt in the game.
i dnt wanna another album from rihanna to come out i dnt like her anymore i think she messed up chris browns career, seriously he didnt just beat her up for no reason, no body likes him because of her, i dnt like her.
she rocks. it'll be amazingg. everything she touches turns to gold on the pop charts
God no!!! Her voice sounds like a dying bear!
Re: IHaveADickAndAHoohah – I adore your kitteh avatar, so funny!
i can't waitt!
Who cares.
Negroid who I could care less abt
all sounds good except soulja boy, wtf
I can wait. A long time. A very long time. My whole life. And my whole f* death.
to bad she cant sing
rock isnt something these semi-talents can sorta just… dip into. Otherwise your sticking her into a catagory along with ledzep, queen, ac/dc. If it aint 100% rock, then it aint rock at all. Its just a rock image with pop beats and a pop artist.
RhiRhi wont be around forever. She'll get old. Then her image will die out… then what will be left? Her singing? I don't think so.
We need real talented muscians and singers! Instead of these manufactured good looking talentless "divas".
Image is fast money that feeds the music industry. Its brainless idiots like you Mr Cutieballs, that buy into the image.
Rhi Rhi, Chris Brown, Usher Justin Timberlake, Lady GaGa all have the same thing in common - they have a producer that lays down a more modern beat… and they all look good in sunglasses. Thats it dude! Ain't nothin after that.
Bring back the real rappers who aint rapping about their fucking rims, money and bitches!
Bring back the muscians who rock the riffs and beat the drums!
Bring back super-bands!
Bring back the break dancers!
Bring back UGLY with Talent instead of fucking pretty with talentless!
The fact she needs so many other artists on her album just shows how utterly shite she is lol. Of course Def Jam are hyping it up you moron, they want you to buy her album! Jesus fucking christ… get real dude!
so cool,glad chris got his ass kicked out.
Rihanna I can't wait!! All the best…
Well, the last time a rapper tried to release a more rock album was Lil Wayne, and it sucked even more than his usual crap. Never liked her music, but this time it might be good.
Legendary? This album is going to sound like any other pop album made these days, it's always the same bunch of producers and everything they do sounds the same
loves her cant wait for the album
We better. She needs all the collaborators she can get with that thin voice and wooden dancing.
I find it hilarious that because of the economic downturn that all of these "talented" people need to band together to make music the general public MIGHT buy.
THEY ALL SUCK BALLS!!! I HATE HER NOW!!
if the world has any brains they will not support this album, or at the very least the single with chris brown in it. what kind of example is that setting. "oh, you can be beaten up by a guy but you can still be friends and exploit the publicity you got from it"
come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't care!
She looks SO HOT IN THAT PHOTO ! KEWL HAIRDO, SHADES, and Luscious Lips, and Preppy Shirt ! Wow !
I can't wait! I love how she can actually sing and i hope she gives me sumthin good to dry hump, and hump, bitches to.
Re: Johnny*UK* –
I agree….I think Good Girl Gone Bad or whatever her latest album was called is her "Thriller" ……she isn't going to get better than that.
And another thing Mario……..I heard you are starting some suck ass music label, and if this is the case then you already epic fail with that job since you didn't notice that when a musician need all the damn producers in the world to come up with an album it means that they eventually suck if your artist can't even come up and produce most of his/her own ideas for their work……….Who would sign somebody like that……….OH YEAH…..YOU MARIO, YOU WOULD.
Oh God… Sigh… She's working with the same old tired producers everyone in the Biz works with… Pharrell, Timberlake and Kanye… who cares…
And Xtina is already working on a Hot Electro Rock album anyway bitches….
I'm sure Pharell and that lame Tool Justin Timberlake are probably going to bite off Xtina's new look and sound….
Wow Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West they never do callibriations *sarcasm*.
You gotta love how def jam hype up they're artists.
She has no musical talent whatsoever and is solely in the hands of the label.
Lady sovereign left def jam because they wanted to control her, too bad rihanna doesn't have the same balls as she's a brainwashed puppet.
Re: Johnny*UK* – SOOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!
I came across an online community for individual seeking interracial love. It is ^***B l a c k- W h i t e- L o v i n g - c O m***^^^^All singles there are seeking interracial relationships. Interracial is not a problem there, but a great merit to cherish!
so when u say slaving over song choices do you mean her management team and record label choosing what she will perform on their new album.
she's using the beat down for sympathy to help her sell records. it'll probably work.
still doesn't make up for her wack ass style
Comeback? Where'd she go?
Re: drakeWifey –
Chris beat her up, get over it. I'm sick of his whiny ass fans. They both suck anyways.
Soulja Boy? Never heard of them.
It's pathetic that she needs OTHER artists guesting on the album, as having just rihanna isn't good enough to get people's attention.
f*ck hohanna
"Major talent, bbs!" Perez, your greatest fault is that you are incapable of distinguishing between celebrity and talent.
Re: dauphine – i think the same
this bitch is more popular now since she got her ass beat. The whole thing was her fault and now she is making money from it. now that takes brains. when is her How To book coming out?
uPPITY!
Re: drakeWifey – And you can't spell.
Not really excited but I can't judge it till I hear it.
I can't wait!!!
I love her stuff
and i wish i knew where she got her glasses…
I wan a duet with Lady Gaga and Princess Rhi Rhi
Very interesting. My love for her started to fade after the CB incident and the nude photos. Can she reel me back in? Right now, I don't think so. Her style and voice is unique, but her talent is limited. SHE CAN'T DANCE OR WRITE.
great!!!!! i've been desperately looking forward 2 a brand new r n b album featuring some strong names 2 listen 2 these days!!!!
riri is getting as white as mj. i'm just sayin…
Re: Johnny*UK* – totally agree. except i dont see her as pretty. average looking at best.
boring; not the same producers again. can't she choose someone that's not a "hitmaker" so she can create something interesting?
she's what they call all "all (calculated by managers) style and no substance." i call her music "shit music." all it is is shit. like soulja boy music is shit music. but hey at least soulja dances and created a dance and has some life in him. i think he's a better artist than her!
anyway, the real talent is the producer who creates the beat. the girl is an average singer, can't dance, has no "it" factor or spark on stage to make up for her bad singing and non-dancing. whatever. can't believe she even made it as an artist when there are so many talented people out there struggling. people who buy her "music" are just as lame as her.
Same old, same old names. I am tired of all of them. And that's just a few? I suppose she needs all the collabs she can get, to drown out the fact that she has no musical talent at all. NOt singing, not songwriting , not dancing, not producing.
LOL @ Rihanna slaving over lyrics or melodies. My ass.
NOthing Rihanna will ever do will mark anything forever.
She's a sad case. It's time for good music again, like we had up til the 90's. The public is ready. No more "Rihanna"s.
i hate this materialistic Bitch there is NO talent there she is just to dumb
Re: Johnny*UK* – SO well said!!!!
i highly doubt it will be legendary besides she can't even make an allegedly legendary album without a shit lot of help from other people so i think it will be yet another piece of shit to be added to rhianna's back catalogue
lol @ soulja boy…. and i really don't care anyway. i'm not gonna buy that garbage.
Well, I guess this time I won't buy it. It better be getting more save to be her driver.
Rihanna's music sucks. Her voice is awful!!!!!!!! Almost as bad as Ciara's!!!!!!!! Eugh. I can wait for this.
Re: Johnny*UK* – 100% true and SO well said!
Sounds awesome! Except the part with Soulja Boy or whatever!
I'm really excited about new music from Rihanan!
sorry soulja boy is not that good of artist and his songs are so horrible and they should not be played on any type of radio. i hope riri would think twice about not working with him in future projects.
TONS OF RIHANNA SINGLES…….ON THE WAY!
Her voice is painful to listen to.
dont care….dont like her anymore…she had to be pressured to stop dating chris….pathetic…what can she possssssibly teach women in her songs??? whatev….
you consider soulja boy "talent"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….u have serious problems
Why are you calling this a comeback? She never officially went anywhere, other than to pull herself together, and get on with things. Glad to see she's on the up and up. (She is WAY better than Lady GaGa, her 15 is almost over)
Re: Nubian Goddess aka Zuni Warrior – Wrong again. I'm sure my french mother and Irish/Native American father would be interested in that statement. Riri is cute and I wish her well.
What is your problem? Why are you such an arse? What the hell do you want from me? What did I do to you?? If the answer is nothing then seek help!
Have a great day!!!!
omg I can't wait!!
I love RiRi!!
I hope she does a low-tempo ballad about abuse! Songs about abuse make the best songs… But I'm thinking that will take at least 3 years before she does a song about it.
Love Rihanna!!! but whyyyy Soulja Boy??? Hes not worthy to be near her, let alone work with her!!
so tired of this bitch
Perez.. you forgot to mention the most important people RiRi's been working with some of the hottest talent coming out of the UK at the moment.. Chase and Status, check them, they're gonna be HUGEEE!
rihanna is going to be working with sean garrett also and i do hope that she start leaning more toward r&b also rihanna has a beautiful voice and she will do good and i hope that she just keep on doing the thing because she has talent and this somewhere over the rainbow stuff just moved in on her and stopped her in her tracks and now she has got to make up for loss time, i have heard her with the dream, and akon so we shall see.
I'm sure it will be a great album… but COMEBACK FROM WHAT? she hasn't gone anywhere… she released 3 albums in 3 years
I wish Rihanna went back to R&B too.
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is perez calling it a comeback she didn't go anywhere actually she is everywhere(gossip sites) and one thing i don't get is why perez keeps calling her princess wtf she's a princess because she got her ass kicked by Chris
Brown and if that was the case why isn't all the women that is getting beat everyday called princesses what why is she so special because she's a (wack/corny)celebrity oh and another thing I can't wait until chris brown comes back TEAM CHRiS BROwN All The Way
What comeback..its not that shes been away for years…!!Why cant she make her own songs on her own…why all this male artist?is she afraid too not make it good alone.well her most sucsess songs is with somebody…like live yot life with t.i and rehab with jt and umbrella with jayz
I love her
woww. of course kanye and j-zay had to get in on this shit. i cant not stand kanye at all, never have and never will. hes so full of himself. jay-z is just annoying and beyonce and do better, a lot better. ilovehchrisbrown
Okay so I was driving thru Chicago on my way down to Tennessee a 2 weeks ago, and on the radio I heared a new Rihanna song!!! It was something I'm so back or something and some rapper was spitting rhymes on it. It sounded pretty fly to me, and i was like oh i have to download that, and well i googled it, and so far nothing on any new single. Or was it leaked? It sounded like Rihanna, and the dude spitting rhymes was talking about karma, and she was singing. she sounded pretty snappy/sassy/borderline pissy in the song. It was definitely her, and it was definitely new. Anyone else heard it?
And no it wasn't "baby i'm back" either it was new!!! i hate it when i hear something new, and they never say who or what it was before or after they play it on radio!!! well hoping we hear whatever that song was pretty sooN!
