Is Rihanna working on her new album already? When Rihanna is not dealing with her very over the top and on and off again relationship with Chris Brown, she’s keeping herself very busy and expanding her opportunities. Although music is clearly her first priority, she’s not dabbled into cosmetics with her successful partnership with MAC, she has her own fashion line with River Island, and she’s the Executive Producer of a reality show geared towards fashion (Styled to Rock). At age 25, it doesn’t appear as if she plans on slowing down anytime soon. In fact, some people feel Rihanna deserves to a take a little break since she’s been so busy touring and launching her many projects outside of music. But if there’s any truth to the latest reports, she isn’t taking a break and she’s already working on her eighth album. Vibe reports:

Hit producer Rodney “Darkchild:” Jerkins told the Source that he was working with a slew of music’s finest including Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, including some potential material for the bad gal’s next project.

“I just finished a couple songs with Jessie J over in London and I also wrote a couple of songs that are being considered for Rihanna’s new album, so there’s a lot of good stuff happening so we’ll see,” he said.

While Rih confirmed her return to the studio after posting a flick with rapper Wale, Rih’s creative process for her eighth effort still seems to be in its infancy.

  1. Of course she’s working on her next album. She knows she can’t take a break from music. If she ever does, her career will be over. She’ll be replaced by the next oversexed untalented pop star in a few months top.

  2. I just got off Instagram and saw Rihanna just posted and deleted a picture of her booty in a thong. Man, I really wish she would take a break.LOL.

  3. So she’s sticking to her formula of putting out one album a year. That’s too much. No wonder she’s crazy now. She never takes a break.

  4. Another one, already? She needs to take a break and just enjoy life like a normal person. Even Bey takes some time off. If all you do is work, you’ll burn out. And I think she’s already began to burn out. Hence, showing up late to her own shows. She needs to slow it down and just take a vacay and relax for a while.

  5. Too soon. She really needs to take some time off. I guess she’s scared someone will replace her? I would think she was arrogant enough to believe otherwise.

  6. Well if you don’t put out quality music and you just prance around on stage and grab your crotch at your “shows,” it’s pretty easy to drop an album every year.

  7. Why? She comes out with an album like every year. She’s on top now. She can take a little break, right? Damn.

  8. It would kind of be stupid for her to take a break now tho. Look how fickle the music industry is yall…she’s doing the right thing.

    1. Yeah cuz she would be replace in a minute…….she needs a break to rest, to put her head straight…..

  9. Why not take a break and get yourself together and make sure your well being is ok. She has to take care of herself first and foremost I am not a fan of hers but she has proven to be a star taking a break won’t hurt her career.

  10. If you don’t like her, so f##kn what. Nothing new..you don’t want to hear her music don’t listen. Don’t want to buy it, so what. Geez who cares. Too funny, especially over people y’all don’t even know.

  11. I like Rihanna. Though she may need to take a break, get some peace of mind and relax. Then come out with a new music. Everyone needs a break every once in awhile.

  12. Well you can put out an album every year when it doesn’t demand much in the way of actual singing……….
