She won't stray from the hip hop R&B, but I do expect her stuff to be even dancier than the last album. I'm fine with that cause that will make her sell more worldwide.

Although I like Run This Town, I hope she stays away from very hip/hop oriented songs and do more songs like Disturbia and Don't Stop The Music. I so agree. RiRi makes good R&B/Hip-hop tracks, but she makes pop masterpieces. Pop is where she needs to stay firmly rooted.

i like her pop side more than any other but she should continue being eclectic and not sticking to ONE sound! that's what works best for her

Since Bey & Gaga are working together, who would you like Rih collaborate with? I think her and Keri Hilson or Katy Perry would be HOT!!!

Universal Readies Super Monday Lineup Universal Music Group is serving up a plentiful feast for Thanksgiving week. Some of the biggest names in music will all release their high-profile albums on the Monday before the holiday. The recording giant has moved up the majority of its November 24 releases by one day to Monday, November 23, a day before the traditional Tuesday release. The shift extends across the Universal umbrella, including Interscope Geffen A&M, Universal Motown/Republic, and Island Def Jam. The new date will take advantage of the start of the holiday shopping season when customers flock to stores to stock up on gifts. Rap-Up.com is first to reveal six of the albums that have been affected by the date change, making your purchasing decision even tougher. 50 Cent – Before I Self Destruct Rihanna – TBD Timbaland – Shock Value 2 Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster Jay Sean – All or Nothing Birdman – Pricele$$ www.rap-up.com/2009/10/14/universal-readies-super-monday-lineup/Go Riri

^I wouldn't be surprised if Carey's remix album comes out the same week, too. If not then, then the week after.

:o OMG! So that means the album IS being released on that date! New single should be coming!!!! I want to get the album first day but I sort of want to wait until Christmas so I'm more excited than usual to get presents. I REALLY don't think I can wait until then, there is absolutely no way.

Geezzzzz.. I don't really think she'll be getting a #1 album this time either..
I guess I'll have to wait and see.. But, IMO, by the time her album is released her first single will probably be platinum! Lol.

Ive been reading alot of sources saying she will have a edgier/hardcore sound, and that her records this era might be VERY electro, even techno influenced. From what it sounds, she is going to rock CHR this era and definitely get some Top 10's.
I miss Rihanna so much, so I cant wait for her to get her own song out, but Im gonna be disappointed if she dosen't put out any hip-hop/R&B tracks.

I like her rock tinged songs, Umbrella definitely had some of it going on. I remember during AGLM era she was very vocal about liking Kisses Don't Lie because it was rock-y, and also she was vocal about liking Kelly because, obviously she is rockish. <3 Rihanna, then :)

I hope the single leaks within the next day or 2. If it premieres next week, it'll only leave 5 weeks until the album.

I think they'll probably wait until the album comes out to release it to iTunes right? Makes sense since the album is coming out so soon after the single.

'Sell Me Candy' and 'Rehab' were the two best offerings from GGGB IMO.

Sell Me Candy still goes hard to this day. It really does. It's a shame that IDJ didn't see the potential it had, because it's a crazy record. The video would have been awesome too.

Very interesting CNN article on the album. The best way to get tounges wagging is to say nothing at all, and it’s a skill Rihanna has down to a science.
The Barbadian songstress arrived a bit late to the Twitter party when she — or her people — created a “rihanna” tag yesterday and sent out a single, sparse tweet: “The Wait Is Ova. Nov. 23 09.”
Whether that’s the name of a new single, the beginning of a viral marketing campaign — or both — is unknown, but a representative for Rihanna told Entertainment Weekly that though the date “looks accurate” for her album release, “The Wait Is Ova” is not the album title.
The only other object fans can mine for clues about the singer’s upcoming release is the logo, a metallic nail fashioned into a crudely shaped “R” that has swarmed the Internet.
The new record would be her fourth since her debut at 17. In the four years since, she’s evolved from an unknown, breezy pop singer to a sonically and fashionably more distinct persona. One can only expect that her latest effort would continue to show that growth.
Yet there are extra layers of anticipation surrounding the unnamed work: Not only is this Rihanna’s follow-up to “Good Girl Gone Bad,” the album that made her an international superstar, it’s also the first time she is piping up as a solo artist since the infamous fight with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, in February.
Those who’ve worked with the star on the record have said to expect something with more ferocity. “Expect an edgier, almost angrier Rihanna on this one,” Ne-Yo told E! Online. “Rihanna says some things on this album that you’ve never heard her say before.”
But, said Mariel Concepcion, associate editor for Billboard.com, that statement shouldn’t be taken too literally.
“She has changed a bit, but I think she’s simply grown. Fans are expecting her to reveal some details, but I think she’s going to subliminally let it be known that ‘Yes, [Chris] hurt me, but I’m moving forward with life.’ This issue was such a serious issue, it calls for more than putting out an angry song about it.”
Tracey Johnson, who said she’s been a fan of the singer since the beginning, has high expectations for the upcoming release, but not because she expects to hear about Rihanna’s personal life.
“[Some fans] feel like it would be good for her to represent abused women in some sort of way and say something, but in my perspective, she doesn’t owe us anything,” Johnson said. “She’s always been pretty private about the relationship, and she’s never opened a lot in her music anyway.”
If Rihanna maintains her silence, Johnson said, it will be “kind of a hit back at the critics who said she disappeared after not becoming the spokesperson for domestic abuse. She’s saying this is what you should be paying attention to: I’m a fashion icon, and I make great music.”
Johnson, co-founder and editor of celebrity Web site NeonLimelight.com, has paid close attention to Rihanna’s reported studio time over the past few months, but said he didn’t expect to see the album appear so soon — and with a tweet, no less.
“I’m definitely expecting more for this album,” she said. “Rihanna has a platform now that she didn’t have before ‘Good Girl Gone Bad.’ She’s gone a step forward with each album, and I think it’s going to be a little more of what we heard on ‘Good Girl Gone Bad,’ but to the next level.”
That’s a prediction that Concepcion agrees with, considering that the people who have been pulled in on this album resemble the team who worked on “Good Girl”: Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo and Tricky Stewart, who was behind the single “Umbrella” that launched Rihanna to a new level of pop stardom.
Devin Lazerine, editor of Rap-Up.com, said Stewart isn’t trying to top the success of “Umbrella,” but rather create a sound that would live up to its success.
“Just from hearing ‘Run This Town’ we can see the direction she’s heading in,” Lazerine said. “It’s going to be darker and more edgy. She was actually going to put that song on this album, and then Jay-Z heard it and they traded songs.”
Still, Lazerine said, “dark” and “edgy” don’t always equal “personal.”
“She’s all about the music and the sound — I think we’re going to get something that embodies her fashion sense,” he said. “I don’t think there’s going to be much about the Chris Brown situation; I don’t even think her fans expect that. They just want something that pushes the boundaries.” www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/14/rihanna.new.album/index.html
