This Kanye x Paul McCartney collabo is going to be the truth! I also hope that demo is not going anywhere near the new album.

New Demo online from Rihanna! She dismissed it as fake, apparently :) It's nice, though: Ty Dolla $ign told Billboard that she's on an upcoming song with him, Kanye and Paul McCartney: Oh yasss, I'm excited for this even if it's not for her album! Finally some new music to look forward to!

So why does "World Peace" show up as a Rihanna song when you Shazam it? My understanding was that songs only showed up there when a label confirmed their existence (there's no audio preview - I know that doesn't show up until it's in the iTunes database), but maybe they scrape from YouTube titles too, since the listing includes several fan-uploaded videos with Rihanna and "World Peace" in the title.

I really liked that demo/leak. I'm hoping it is on her cd. I think it will sound even better mastered. Does she even say "World Peace" during the lyrics? Maybe she hadn't heard of it yet and didn't know it by title.

RihannaA new Rihanna record is less of an album release and more of a global branding event, though one would guess that she’s going to stay clear of insanity-inducing airborne promo campaigns for #R8. (It takes an army to put together a Rihanna song, but no one performs them quite like their general.) Rumored to be a late winter release, look for Rihanna’s new album to be the next "paradigm-breaking event that changes the music industry as we know it." There will probably be a few very great singles on there, too. —Corban Goble Source: pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9574-the-most-anticipated-releases-of-2015/3/
"Late winter release", huh? #R8 in Q1 maybe?

I'm so ready. After the flawlessness of Unapologetic, this may be my most anticipated Rihanna release thus far.

Unapologetic was not that great IMO; however, LOUD was fantastic it's among my favorite albums for her I'm very excited for her new album, I'm sure she will slay and 2015 will be Rihanna's year hopefully

I've grown to love most of her albums actually. At first I thought Unapologetic and Talk That Talk were weak, but they've actually turned out to be two of her best albums imo!

Unapologetic was damn near flawless IMO. Can't wait for this album, I love the sound of the song from the set of the video.

TTT is and will always be, that shit. Even the album tracks smash, plus that Birthday Cake Remix... boy.
I enjoyed LOUD, it was a single driven album, just about every song on there was single-worthy (sans the actual singles).
I didn't really listen to the last 3 tracks on Unapologetic, but I loved the cd overall. Don't play it as much though.

I used to prefer TTT to Unapologetic but I think I like the former more nowadays. Both of them have some career highs and lows, imo. I think her only completely solid bodies of work are Rated R and GGGB but more than half of TTT and Unapologetic are solid tracks.
Loud is trash.

I liked most of the Loud singles, but as an album... not too much. It's not awful, but I just don't feel the need to listen to it much anymore.

I was expecting a release in late 2014, my excitement has worn off. But I'm sure I'll be geeked up again when music does release!

TTT>Loud>GGGB (which has REALLY aged horribly for me)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the rest.
TBH I don't really "like" any of her albums, but TTT/Loud have a few non-singles each that I like, and GGGB has 2.

Unapologetic & Rated R are her best albums for me. I'd rank Loud 3rd, just a fun pop album that I love!

Is Rih performing at the Grammys? And with Coldplay? Apparently her drummer confirmed it on Instagram: A few days ago a screenshot from a supposed member connected to the Grammys contained a list of performers which featured Coldplay with Rihanna: ETA: He has deleted the IG post. Hmmm....

A little late for a Princess of China performance but I'll take it! She already performed it with them during the 2012 Grammys right after her phenomenal performance of We Found Love. Could be a new song for either one of them.

If they reay do perform I could see them doing POC very briefly, 30 seconds max. Wouldn't be surprised either way. Maybe a song with Rihanna is lead single from their album? :O
