Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney Team Up For 'FourFiveSeconds'

Rihanna

Rihanna has suddenly released a new song featuring Paul McCartney and Kanye West. The 'Diamonds' singer released her new track, entitled 'FourFiveSeconds' on Saturday (24th January). West appeared at the iHeartRadio Summit on Wednesday (21st January) and used the opportunity to debut the new track. West performs vocals with Rihanna and McCartney provides acoustics for 'FourFiveSeconds'. The event was primarily for those working within radio but the trio's song is now available online.

Although West has a pre-existing relationship with McCartney, as the two have previously worked together on 'Only One', it is uncertain if 'FourFiveSeconds' belongs to West or Rihanna. As Time reports, West made the announcement and producer Ty Dolla $ign claims 'FourFiveSeconds' is intended for West's next album. However, Rihanna used Twitter to announce the new track which primarily features her vocals.

Rihanna, Kanye and McCartney in new collaboration

Kanye West, Rihanna and Paul McCartney

Rihanna has released a collaboration with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, called Four Five Seconds.
It's been almost a year since the 26-year-old released her last single.
McCartney is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, selling over 100 millions albums worldwide, as part of the Beatles, Wings and as a solo artist in his own right.
West has previously collaborated with both Rihanna and McCartney, though never before as a trio.
Four Five Seconds is a move away from Rihanna and West's previous work together on All of the Lights (from West's album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy) and Run This Town, where the pair teamed up with Jay Z.
This time the track is a slower, acoustic guitar-driven number.
West played a snippet of Four Five Seconds to industry experts at the iHeartMedia music summit on Wednesday.

Rihanna goes acoustic with Paul McCartney



Rihanna, who has topped the charts with a pop-driven R&B sound, has unveiled a new acoustic song in a collaboration with Beatles legend Paul McCartney.
Rihanna unexpectedly late Saturday released the new single, "FourFiveSeconds," which features the Barbados-born singer's signature robust voice but has a minimal backdrop of McCartney's guitar strumming without percussion or electronic elements. The song also features verses sung by rapper Kanye West.
The track is the latest collaboration between West and McCartney, who unexpectedly released a song on New Year's Day after the two stars met each other in Los Angeles.
"FourFiveSeconds" is a song about personal travails and confusion, with Rihanna singing, "We got three more days 'til Friday / I'm just trying to make it back home by Monday morning."
The song could offer hints at the directions of both Rihanna and West, who are separately expected to unveil new albums this year.
Rihanna, who has released seven studio albums, has become an international superstar with electronic-dominated songs such as the ballad "Diamonds" and the danceable "Only Girl (In The World)."
Her music has at times been overshadowed by her turbulent relationship with fellow singer Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to assaulting her in 2009.

Rihanna drops new song with Kanye West and Paul McCartney



What better way to celebrate the weekend than with a brand-new Rihanna song?
On Saturday afternoon, the 26-year-old singer dropped the latest track from her upcoming eighth studio album featuring the talents of Kanye West and Paul McCartney. With an excited tweet – "FIRST GLANCE AT MY NEW MUSIC!!!" – Rihanna directed her fans to iTunes to check out the new song.
Titled "FourFiveSeconds," the bare-bones tune clocks in at a little over three minutes and is a slight departure for the Barbados beauty.
McCartney accompanies on guitar, while Rih Rih sings verses like "I think I've had enough, I might get a little drunk/I say what's on my mind, I might do a little time/Cause all of my kindness, is taken for weakness." West, meanwhile, provides support crooning lyrics like "Woke up an optimist, sun was shining I'm positive/Then I heard you was talkin' trash/Hold me back I'm bout' to spaz" in the duet.

Rihanna for New York show?




Rihanna is planning a huge New York concert.
The 26-year-old singer is gearing up to release her eighth studio album and is reportedly in talks to perform in an enormous show which could shut down one of the city's busiest neighbourhoods for four days.
The NBA All-Star Weekend concert is being organised by Jay Z's company Roc Nation and although no deal between the pop sensation and the company has yet been reached, the Bajan beauty is believed to be keen to sing some of the new tracks from her upcoming album, tentatively titled 'R8'.
The performance will be held in the Flatiron Pedestrian Plaza, and local communities have been advised to prepare for the closure of major streets throughout the city, including Broadway, from February 10 to 13 due to the huge demand the 'We Found Love' hitmaker is expected to attract.
Last month, Rihanna and Jay Z held talks in Roc Nation's head office in New York where they were believed to be speaking about her LP - on which she has worked with Kiesza, Sia and Florence Welch - which is expected to be released later this year.
However, Rihanna - whose last album, 'Unapologetic', was released in 2012 - has been secretive about the record and has not officially announced any information about it.
Attempting to squash speculation about her forthcoming activities, she previously posted on Twitter: ''ANY news about #R8 will be delivered directly from me!!!! (sic)''

Is Rihanna sampling Florence track for new album?

Music detectives think so after spotting these familar names in the writing credits.

Rihanna appears to be sampling a Florence + The Machine track for her new album, according to details registered about an upcoming song.
The Diamonds singer has registered a song called A Night, which lists herself and Florence Welch, Paul Epworth and Christian Keyon Jr Boggs as writers, according to Popjustice.
There has been speculation that it could be a reworking of the Florence + The Machine song Only If For A Night from the 2012 album Ceremonials, but it isn’t clear whether Florence’s vocals will be sampled or if Rihanna will sing the lyrics herself.
Florence Welch Rihanna’s last album, Unapologetic, came out in 2012 and she has yet to announce the release of her next one which will be her eighth studio album.
Florence + The Machine are expected to put out a third release later this year as they have confirmed festival appearances including Coachella in April.

Rihanna, Florence Welch New Song "A Night" Registered for New Album 'R8'



There is very little news these days surrounding a new Rihanna album, so any tiny tidbit is going to make a splash. And now, it seems as though Rihanna's label has registered a new song for the Unapologetic follow-up and it features none other than Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch. "R8" is looking to be a banger.

Rihanna new album 2015: Is 'R8' really happening? Sam Smith in the album? RiRi to perform with Katy Perry at SuperBowl?



It has been a while since Rihanna released a new album. The last one dates back to 2012 and that was the album "Unapologetic." RiRi fans have been anticipating something new from the artist and not just being featured in another artist's song. So, will 2015 be the big year? 
Rumors are going around that Rihanna will in fact be releasing her eighth album this year, and word is that the album will be titled "R8." According to Paper Mag, RiRi's new album will also have several collaborations with the best artists out there, including Ty Dollar $ign, Kieza and DJ Mustard. 
Another successful artist suspected to be on the album is Sam Smith. Apparently, Smith is very excited about the album and said that there are things he knows about it that no one doesn't. Immediately, fans speculated that he will be singing a tune in "R8." 
Meanwhile, a demo from Rihanna leaked online. It is titled "World Peace" and is believed to be a part of the new album. It has that same vibe as the usual Rihanna songs, so that is a possibility. Further, teaser tunes have been uploaded in RiRi's Instagram account, too. Could this and this be included in her new collection? 
There's still no definite word as to when Rihanna will officially launch her much anticipated album. However, the Super Bowl kickoff may be the date. The singer is actually rumored to be performing alongside pal Katy Perry.
During a TV interview with ET, Perry dished a few details about her 12-minute half-time performance.
"I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve, but I can't tell you everything. I'm gonna let people just think about it," she said. She then added, "Let's just say female empowerment."

Bitch Stole My Look! Rihanna vs. Leigh Lezark in Tom Ford Nipple Pasties

Rihanna, Leigh Lezark

If you thought you'd seen the last of Rihanna and her pasties, guess again!
The Barbadian singer first stepped out in this skin-baring Tom Ford number at the 2014 amfAR Inspiration Gala, drawing all eyes with her long white gown and those hard-to-miss nipple pasties that remind us of tinsel from a Laker Girl's pom-poms!
Then Leigh Lezark showed up at the Tom Ford Launch Party in a similar number of her own, although this style is a lot more edgy and totally matches the New York-based DJ's rocker girl look.

As much as we love RiRi, that white choker is overkill, along with those black thigh-high pantyhose paired with those metallic pink heels! She looks like an over-the-top Greek goddess who dabbles in burlesque as a side job...
Leigh, on the other hand, really killed this look! That sleek black leather pencil-style dress with the sheer mesh on top really highlights her figure, while those tinsel nipple pasties add the perfect pop of color and flair. She keeps the rest of her look simple with straight hair and black eyeliner, making her the ultimate rocker chick.

Rihanna's outfit's shocking price tag

Rihanna (R) and guest attend as Roc Nation Sports Presents: throne boxing at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on January 9, 2015 in New York City.

Rihanna is no stranger to making headlines and turning heads with her fashion choices. However, when the star was recently spotted sporting a casual style that appeared to be nothing more than sweats, fans were shocked when a Friday story by E! Online broke down the cost of the entire ensemble.
The outfit in question consisted of a loose fitting grey warm up top that was paired with green exercise pants and the look was completed with a pair of white stiletto shoes. While the look may have been casual chic, reports indicate that it may have cost more than $20,000, and this display of wealth has been somewhat shocking to many people. However, regardless of your opinion on whether someone should spend that much, there is little doubt that Rihanna looks fabulous in the recent pictures.
However, this is not the only attention that Rihanna’s fashion statements have been getting. A story by Daily Mail reports that she was recently spotted enjoying a Lakers’ game. During the game, the star appeared very animated as she watched the dueling teams, and she also turned the heads of many around her by having an outfit that revealed much of her famously toned legs.
As she watched the game, the star was seen drinking beer, eating popcorn and chewing on bubble gum. Considering the Lakers’ poor performance this season, the food and beverages were likely the most enjoyable part of the game. Now, if she had only included a hotdog, she would have covered all the basic food groups for attending sporting events.

After the party, playmate Carly Lauren tweeted: “Just saw Leo and Rihanna making out while Pour It Up was playing.”
Well, there’s nothing like a game of tonsil tennis to one of your own songs, is there?
The latest hook-up rumours come after RiRi and Leo were both spotted in St. Barts over the New Year.

As well as partying together at the La Plage Club, they were both also guests at the same VIP parties, including one at a mutual friend’s home.
A source told The Mirror: “It was over the New Year that things really started heating up. By this weekend, a lot of people were already talking about them being an item.”
Last August, Rihanna told Elle magazine she lives by the ethos: “Avoid obviousness.”
“That is a quote by Leonardo DiCaprio, ” she added. “That’s what makes you create something, that’s the excitement, that’s the thrill.”

Leonardo DiCaprio And 15 Other Men Rihanna ‘Dated’

'It's Not Over' premiere


If Rihanna had an album for every man she’s been linked to over her decade-long career, she’d have a catalog as expansive as Madonna’s.
Fact is, rumors and hearsay are just that. They’re not based on actual evidence and have no receipts.
The newest man Rihanna is allegedly dating is Leonardo DiCaprio. The pair are said to have been spending a lot of time together. According to sources they’ve been abroad wildly soaking in their love.
But The Cut has a more realistic idea of what’s going on:

Combining fashion and film, the spring exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute will be "China: Through the Looking Glass," the museum said Thursday during a preview in Beijing.
The show will run from May 7 to Aug. 16 in the Met's Chinese Galleries and in the Anna Wintour Costume Center. It will feature more than 130 fashions juxtaposed with traditional Chinese art pieces in jade, lacquer and porcelain.
In addition, a montage of film clips curated by the Chinese filmmaker Wong Kar Wai will speak to influence of cinema on fashion in the West, according to a museum statement released after several pieces were displayed at the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City.
Among the pieces shown in Beijing were a blue-and-white, porcelain-inspired dress created by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel in 1984 and a look Tom Ford designed for his last collection at Yves Saint Laurent in 2004, influenced by the last Chinese Emperor Puyi's dragon robe.
The Costume Institute's star-studded annual benefit May 4 will celebrate the exhibition's opening. Fashion tycoon Silas Chou will serve as honorary chair. The co-chairs will be Jennifer Lawrence, Gong Li, Marissa Mayer, Wendi Murdoch and Wintour.

Rihanna & Leonardo DiCaprio Flirting On New Year's? Drake's Ex Ready To 'Tame' Hollywood Bachelor, 'Growing Close' Amid Academy Awards Dating Buzz

Rihanna

Rihanna is a wild, rambunctious party girl. Leonardo DiCaprio is a handsome, model-dating bachelor. Perhaps a match made in Hollywood heaven?
According to the infamous gossip webloid Dish Nation, the "Diamonds" songstress celebrated the New Year with friends in St. Barths. Interestingly enough, the "Wolf Of Wall Street" star also welcomed 2015 in tropical paradise. Apparently, the two spent lots of time together. An alleged "insider" claims they're definitely growing closer. Will this budding friendship eventually blossom into a sexy romance?
"Leonardo and Rihanna are getting very close, and she just adores him," the snitch reveals. "So much so that word among her friends is that she has her sights set on him becoming her boyfriend."
Would Drake's 26-year-old ex-girlfriend really throw herself at the 40-year-old award-winning actor?
Hey - not many women can tie DiCaprio down for long. Maybe RiRi would like the challenge!
The source continues, "Rihanna is no shrinking violet and unlike many of Leo's model girlfriends she's got 'a lot of game' to keep him on his toes. They have been together at parties and even spent time alone at friends' holiday apartments in St. Barths."
But they don't want any rumors getting out-of-control, so made it a point not to be photographed together very often. But the Oscars are coming up soon (February 22), and the Barbadian beauty might need a date...
The "Great Gatsby" heartthrob would really shock fans if he walked the Red Carpet with the "S&M" rebel!
Obviously, the two are friendly. But that doesn't mean they're exclusively dating... yet.
Still, Rihanna seems intruged! In a recent interview with Elle magazine, the pop princess mused, "'Avoid obviousness.' That is a quote by Leonardo DiCaprio... That's what makes you create something, that's the excitement, that's the thrill."

Leave It To Rihanna To Make A Baggy Knit Look Sleek

Opener (67)

After spending a week straight wearing nothing more than bikinis, Rihanna left sunny Barbados for the sub-zero temperatures of New York City. (As someone whose fingers are nearly too frozen to type, this was a bewildering move on Rihanna's part. Hey, we all make mistakes.)

For her reentry into winter weather, she bundled up — well, kind of — in an oversized chunky knit by Chalayan. Despite the sweater's size (notably cumbersome) and shape (or lack thereof), she managed to make it look straight-up sleek. Granted, we're talking about a woman who can make anything — including, but not limited to, flip phones , gray hair, and Timberlands — look good. But, still. It's an impressive and exceedingly copycat-worthy move.

As usual, the secret lies in how she wore it. Delicate necklaces added a feminine wink to the cozy top, and super skinny jeans created a balanced silhouette. But, it was the strappy Manolo Blahnik sandals that really made it memorable. We just wouldn't suggest this move if it's completely frigid out there, though. Unless, of course, you have an SUV with heated seats waiting in the wings, like RiRi surely does.

Rihanna to buy $10 million Barbados home - report



RIHANNA is reportedly in negotiations to buy a $10 million home in her native Barbados.
The Umbrella hitmaker is said to have placed an offer on the luxury property after renting it last month (Dec14).
Britain's The Sun newspaper reports Rihanna's mother, Monica Braithwaite, will also live in the house, which boasts four bedrooms, a library, a swim-up bar, gym and wine cellar.
A source says, "It's likely her mother will live there most of the time if she goes ahead with the sale."

Chris Brown Reached Out To Rihanna On New Year’s Day

chris-brown-rihanna-2014

Chris Brown and Rihanna are perhaps the most unpredictable on and off couple in showbiz. They both always make it very clear that they love and care about each other even when they are not a couple.
Sources close to the Bajan pop star exclusively told Urban Islandz that Chris Brown reached out to Rihanna on New Year’s Day.
“He text her Happy New Year’s and wished her all the best in her endeavors for 2015,” the source told us. “It was sweet and kind for him to do that regardless of what’s going on between them.”
The source also told us that Rihanna response was a simple thank you and same to you.
“She replied thank you and same to you,” the source reveal.
“There is no animosity between them are no hard feelings, their relationship is over as far as I know but that doesn’t mean they can’t still be kind to each other.”
Drake and Rihanna Super Club
Our ever so reliable source also said Drake wished Rihanna a happy new year also and her response to him was similar to that of Chris Brown.
Late last year Rihanna famously told a fan that she is not looking for a man. She also dispelled rumors that she is pregnant for a mystery man.
Rihanna is currently working on her 8th album R8, due early in 2015. Earlier this week a new song titled “World Peace” was leaked online.

Rihanna, Chris Brown back together, Karrueche Tran crazy partying world.

Karrueche Tran, Rihanna and Chris Brown were on Twitter tweeting out some good vibes to all. Karrueche Tran, Chris and Rihanna have had a crazy year and Chris Brown is ending it in a memorable way by going to back to the studio. Karrueche Tran is trying to be supportive and Rihanna is busy partying it up.
Karrueche Tran was a little misty eyed over memories when she tweeted, “One of my fav’s of the originals.. Homie rolled up in this sick car as we were shooting.. If you look…”rihanna-chrisbrown-2014
She attached a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that read “Stupid B*tch.” With all the drama recently between her and Rihanna, one has to wonder if it was a thinly veiled message to the songstress.
Rihanna tweeted, “Threw Bravo a birthday ba$h at mama Fenty crib!! #86 blessed yearz! Many more to you Grandfadda!”
And, lastly, news has come out that Chris Brown has only been calling Karrueche Tran and his mother while in rehab. This news follows news of Tran tweeted out a “naked” message to Chris Brown.
It’s obvious these three are trying their best to live the lives they want. Rihanna is trying to move on from her past but there’s no absolute out from the love triangle she shares with Karrueche Tran and CB. Chris Brown, for his part, really is trying to better his life and despite people calling Karrueche Tran a side piece, she’s actually the main dish. We can only hope Rihanna stays on the right path, and leave Chris Brown in the past. Go Rihanna!

Rihanna Left Brokenhearted By Chris Brown? Singer Swears Off Dating Musicians

Is Rihanna heartbroken over relationship problems?

Rihanna has reportedly sworn off dating men in the music industry, and her failed relationships with Chris Brown and rapper Drake may be to blame. The Mirror reports that the singer has been vacationing in Barbados, and friends close to her have repeated what she’s been telling them. At least one source close to the Barbadian songbird claims that she is done with men in the music industry once and for all.
The “guys” this anonymous source may be referring to are most likely Chris Brown and Drake, who have both been famously linked to Rihanna. Both Drake and Brown have had on-again-off-again flings with RiRi, but neither of the relationships have appeared to work out — and that’s an understatement when it comes to her explosive and troubled relationship with Breezy. She even gave both of them more than one chance, but it’s clear that she’s gone the single route after failing to connect with either Drake or Brown for the long-term.
Chris Brown and Drake aren’t the only famous men linked to Rihanna. She’s been linked to Robert Pattinson, Matt Kemp, and even Ashton Kutcher at one point. In fact, her rumored relationship with Kutcher became a hot topic for TMZ and other scandal hungry folks. RiRi shot down any attempts reporters have made at asking her questions about it, though. So if she’s going to swear off dating men in the music industry, will she stick to actors or is she going to go for someone more low-key to as to avoid all the drama?
TVNZ News shares more about the singer’s romantic woes, with more comments from someone close to her. The source claims that Rihanna has had enough with meaningless relationships based on good sex — which is apparently all Drake and Chris Brown were good for if you go by what the anonymous source says. RiRi is reportedly at a phase in her life where hot sex isn’t as appealing as a devoted partner to love and who will return her love.
All of the gossip about Rihanna and Chris Brown varies from week to week, so not all of it can be true. Just last month, reports indicated that she was laughing at Brown’s relationship drama with Karrueche Tran. There were even rumors that the two were seeing each other again. Is it possible that Rihanna’s heart is broken over recent reports that Karrueche Tran wants to marry the loyal hit-maker? If that’s the case then there could only be more drama in the future — or rather, more gossip.

Rihanna won't date another musician

Rihanna

Rihanna is reportedly planning to avoid having a relationship with another rapper having already dated Chris Brown and Drake.
Hollywoodlife.com quotes a source close to the singer as saying, "She isn't going to mess with anybody in the industry like that anymore. Those guys bring her nothing but pain and heartbreak."
They added, "Most of them are whack and very childish. She doesn't have time for that. She's not trying to raise a man. She already tried that twice and it didn't work."
The source continued to say that the 26-year-old hitmaker is looking for something more serious now, "She's looking for more and doesn't think guys in music, especially rappers, have the key to the lock around her heart."

Rihanna parties minus bikini top in see-through attire

Yet Rihanna couldn't wait to bid farewell to the tinsel and onesies – by going out virtually naked.
Of course, it does help that she's frolicking on the shores of St Barths and not down the local in Brentwood.
Indeed, the Diamonds singer was partying with pals on a private yacht last night rather than taking selfies against the backdrop of one-sixteenth of an inch of snowfall.
(Un)dressed in a mesh kaftan, the Barbadian bad Barbie appeared to be near-nude beneath.

While she protected her modesty with a pair of metallic bikini bottoms, she looked to be rocking the why-bother-with-a-top vibe.
With the practically naked get-up, perhaps RiRi was sticking two fingers up at the rumour mill who went into meltdown earlier this month over an alleged pregnancy.
US publications began speculating that the queen of RnB pop was expecting after reportedly sporting a rounder-looking tum at a showbiz bash in LA.
Insiders also claimed they had "100% certified facts" that the 26-year-old was to be a mama following a lyric on her new album referencing "the baby growing inside" her.
Don't we all have a Christmas 'baby' anyway after too much turkey and stuffing?

Rihanna swears off musician boyfriends




Rihanna has promised to avoid having relationships with rappers.
The Bajan beauty has previously dated 'Loyal' hitmaker Chris Brown and Canadian rapper Drake, but has now decided to avoid musicians when searching for a potential partner.
A source close to Rihanna revealed: ''She isn't going to mess with anybody in the industry like that anymore.
''Those guys bring her nothing but pain and heartbreak.''
The 'Diamonds' singer has been criticised in the past for her on/off relationship with Chris after he physically assaulted her in 2009, but the insider revealed she has now realised the error of her ways, and is keen to find a man who can bring her real happiness as well as the pleasure in the bedroom which was ''all those dudes were good for.''
The source continued: ''Most of them are whack and very childish.
''She doesn't have time for that. She's not trying to raise a man. She already tried that twice and it didn't work.
''All those dudes were good for was sex anyway, that was by far their best quality.
''But when it came to love, commitment, honesty and trying to build a future, they all fell way short.''
The 26-year-old singer - who is expected to release her eighth studio album this year - is now believed to have matured and knows she deserves to be treated properly which is why she thinks a rapper boyfriend is never going to be the right fit for her.
The source told HollywoodLife.com: ''She's not that girl anymore.
''She's grown up now and can find someone good in the sack anywhere. She's looking for more and doesn't think guys in music, especially rappers, have the key to the lock around her heart.''

Rihanna New Album 2015: 'R8' to Release This Year?

Singer Rihanna flocked by fans in a park near the Eiffel Tower while visiting Paris.

Fans of singer, Rihanna, are in great anticipation for her upcoming album. While no official details have been released regarding the new record, rumors of what to expect from the artist's eighth album have been doing the rounds and firing up her fans more.

Last December 19, the "Diamonds" star was spotted in Paris, which sparked rumors that she was filming a music video for one of her upcoming songs. Rihanna was seen filming at the Trocadero Carousel while surrounded by fans, reported Kpopstarz. The shoot was captured by a fan "venusdxpe" who posted it on Instagram. The fan wrote, "Shooting her new video for #R8 in Paris."
According to The Indian Express, the girl from Barbados was sporting a long black wig and white jumpsuit and was seen running towards her fans. Later that day, she uploaded a photo of her encircled by fans on her Instagram feed. The caption on the photo went, "Ran off an editorial shoot, straight into the arms of my fans... thank you French navy #r8"
Word is that #R8 is the title of her upcoming album. Fans deemed the rumored title as fitting since the new record would be the singer's eight album.
Sparking another rumor is a photo the singer uploaded on the same day, which showed her sporting dreadlocks and was captioned simply as "#r8." Kpopstarz reported that fans acknowledged the photo as a direct channeling of Lauryn Hill, which could mean the new album's tracks might have a vintage ring to it.
A week before she was seen in Paris, Rihanna posted a short video of her in a studio captioned with "phuck wit nuno." The clip showed Portuguese-American guitarist Nuno Bettencourt with Rihanna as she was singing, noted Latin Post.
Producer Glass John reposted the video. John wrote the song's title as "Kiss It Better" and described it as one of his creations, produced by both him and Jeff Bhasker. Bhasker is known to have collaborated with Kanye West in the past.
Aside from this track, Kpopstarz noted the singer has registered 11 new songs, which were never heard before, making fans believe they could be the upcoming album's songs. Latin Post noted the songs listed were "Kiss It Better," "All Night," Ignite Me," "I Saw A Girl," "Overload," "Ehh," "Intoxicated," "Drive Alone," "Transducer," "Where I Belong," and finally, "Burritos."
Rihanna, who had taken a break from recording for two years, was reported to be very excited for her new record. While the singer promised fans that any official announcements regarding the album will come from her, no actual date has been stated on when it come out.
However, while at a meet and greet in Fort Belvoir, Yahoo reported the singer to promis fans that "It's going to be great, that's all I'm going to tell you and I'm excited about it." She added," I try to battle myself and outdo everything I've done and that's been the hardest thing to do. You start overthinking things at times."

Rihanna SLAMS Pregnancy Rumors: 'Diamonds' Singer 'Laughs' At Claims That She's Expecting Amid 'R8' 2015 Release

Rihanna

Rihanna may have fans eagerly waiting for news regarding her eighth studio album, allegedly titled "R8," however, followers of the "Diamonds" singer were shocked to learn the news of a new rumor surrounding their favorite pop star. After reports surfaced suggesting that Rihanna was pregnant with her first child, even providing alleged sonogram proof of the singer's unborn child, fans went wild on social media wondering whether or not the news may be true. Now, sources close to the songstress reveal the real truth behind the rumors, in addition to Rihanna's own reaction to the claims.
Hollywood Life reveals that like most rumors that plague Rihanna, the songstress has learned to simply laugh them off, according to sources.
"She thinks it's absolutely hilarious," a source began. "But, she really doesn't pay much attention."
The source mentioned that although Rihanna has been posting a plethora of pictures with her young niece, the singer doesn't have "baby fever," as some media outlets claim.
"The only baby she has is Majesty and she treats her niece as if she were on her own daughters. She spoils her rotten and loves her to death."
When it comes to having her own children someday, the source claims, "She's a second mother to [Majesty] but as far as her having a kid of her own, sorry, it's just not happening right now."
Perhaps her new album will be her "baby" for 2015?

Rihanna, Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran Relationship 2014: Is Rihanna Upset About Breezy's Recent 'Nothing' Diss?

Rihanna

How does Rihanna really feel about ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's recent diss about her?
Prior to his reconciliation with Karrueche Tran, Breezy reportedly threw shade at RiRi to win his on-and-off girlfriend back.
"Chris told Karrueche, 'Bae, I'm about to man up. You've stolen my heart and no woman has ever treated me the way you have. No one, not even any of my exes compare to you. You're my queen,'" a source told Hollywood Life. "Chris also apologized to Karrueche, specifically for comparing her to Rihanna and lying about her and Drake dating."
The source added Brown promised Tran he would never compare her to Rihanna: "He was like, 'I don't know what I was thinking by saying that sh*t. Rihanna is nothing compared to you. You see I'm with you. I will never, ever compare you to her as long as I live. She doesn't even exist to me. You are my everything. Everything I am and have is because of you.'"
However, an insider then revealed to Hollywood Life that the Barbadian star could care less about the "Ayo" singer disrespecting her.

said. "Look, if that's what it takes for him to make his girlfriend, Karrueche, feel some type of way, by all means, he should go for it. Rihanna doesn't care if Chris uses her if it helps make him happy.







Moreover, Rihanna is able to brush off Brown's comment, because she apparently does not have feelings for him anymore. "Rihanna has put her feelings for Chris behind her," the insider claimed. "He doesn't have the same effect on her that he used to have. She doesn't have any feelings for him."
"She just hopes he's happy and can hopefully treat Karrueche right," the insider added. "Rihanna has said time and time again, she's so lucky she's not a part of his world, his bulls--t, and all that drama that came with it. Better luck to the woman he's now with because Rihanna doesn't care about Chris anymore."
