This Sounds GREAT, RiRi!!!!!

The international superstar that is Rihanna has got some magic up her sleeves for us on her fourth album, due in 2009.

Though she says the album is going in a more “techno rock” direction, it will have a couple eclectic tracks. One of the three that she is writing completely on her own is going to be more punk-rock.

But, this will all be processed through a pop lens – so fret not.

Think more Disturbia and less Hate That I Love You.

Overall, RiRi wants the album to be edgier than her smash Good Girl Gone Bad.

She is also in the process of synthesizing a new hotter look for herself.

We can’t wait for her new album! We’re totally excited for more RiRi we can shake our booties to!
