March 22, 2007 Unfortunately, we will not be seeing a video for Rihanna's hit "Break it Off" featuring Sean Paul. A CD single is unlikely to be released as well (You can still download it on iTunes though). On the bright side, we should look forward to the launch of the brand new single, "Umbrella" towards the end of the month. March 28!!!!!!!!! 28th? So soon.. oh well.. LMAO @ me clicking on your avatar like crazy! LOL!!!!

I just can't stand him and now we're gonna have to watch his gorilla-like face in the music video... Beyonce can do soooooooooooooo much better and so could Rihanna. And his new stuff sound ridiculously generic with noting special about it. It's just kinda blah. I hope there's an edit of the song without him.

I think he's a great rapper. No matter how he looks. The Hip-Hop club isn't really know for their slew of attractive member, LOL. By the way, he looks more like a camel and I lots of people that find him attractive.

I think he was supposed to be on her last album, but it never happened so here it is now. I'm sure there will be a version without him anyway. I really want to hear this song now though.

Rihanna doesn't need rappers on songs to get a hit. Look at SOS, "Pon De Replay" and "Unfaithful"....

Mar 29, 9:06 AM EDT Rihanna Releasing New Single, `Umbrella'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Some singers take two-year breaks between albums. Rihanna is working on her third disc, just two years after releasing her first.
"It's a nonstop pace, very speedily, and Def Jam does not play, that's all I can tell you," she joked of her record label in an interview with The Associated Press. "We just keep going and going - it's fun, we make sure that we have fun while we do it."
The hits are likely to keep coming and coming for the 19-year-old Barbados beauty, who has had success with "S.O.S.," "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off." Her new single, "Umbrella," was due out Thursday, the first song from her upcoming, not-yet-titled album, set for release June 5.
"It shows such growth for her as an artist," Def Jam President Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, told the AP. "If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she's come."
Jay-Z delivers the opening salvo on the dramatic song, about the strength of a relationship.
Rihanna said the song can be about a romantic or platonic relationship.
"`Umbrella' is a serious song, a relationship song. ... It's different, and that's what I love about it," she said. "People are not going to expect a song like that from me."
The singer made her debut with island-flavored dance groove "Pon de Replay" in 2005, from her debut album, "Music of the Sun." Less than a year later, she released "A Girl Like Me," a platinum success that broadened her mainstream appeal.
Artists usually don't release another album so quickly, especially when they're having success with their current one. But Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio "LA" Reid said Rihanna's upcoming album, which features labelmate Ne-Yo and a song written by Justin Timberlake, is being released this summer because the label feels it's that good.
"In the past, Rihanna has made really great singles. This time, Rihanna has not only made really great singles, but a great album," he told AP. "We want people to hear it now and experience it now."
But fans may be surprised by what they hear.
"My sound has changed," Rihanna said. "It's a lot edgier than the rest of the stuff that anyone has heard from me before. I'm singing about different things, it's a lot sexier."
She also considers the album more adult, reflecting the quick growth she's had to do in her short time in the spotlight.
"This business really helps you to find out who you are, and how strong you are," she said. "You need strength and determination with all the negativity coming at you sometimes ... I've grown a lot."
Part of the negativity Rihanna has faced involved talk of an alleged affair with mentor Jay-Z. Rihanna said the rumor was upsetting but she's learned not to let the gossip mill get her down.
"At first I was like, `Ha ha, it's funny,'" she said. "Now I just ignore it and I'm numb to it. ... You cannot stop people from saying what they want to say."

The girl should at least take a three month break before recording another album. Overkill is never good for a career.

Just posted this in the pop forum, but this is what I think Umbrella is about: I'm gonna guess that Umbrella is about her and her boyfriend fighting and she leaves and its raining and she meets a new guy who gives her an Umbrella to keep her dry and she thinks about cheating on her man but runs back to her man out of fear of losing her and that she looks to the Umbrella to look on the day she almost lost her "Everything". Just thinking outloud.
