Has Rihanna abandoned plans to take a break after "Unapologetic"? It appears so as hit-making producer/songwriter Rodney Jerkins is working on new music for the recent Billboard Music Award winner.
Jerkins broke the news via The Source earlier this week, confirming that a few songs have already been written and submitted.
"I am working with Mariah, I am working with Jennifer Lopez. 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," Jerkins told The Source.
As widely reported earlier this year, sources claimed that Rihanna was lined up for a possible year-long break after "Unapologetic."
"She's been in this go mode for a while. Seven hit records in seven years. Sold out tours, but sources say after this tour wraps, she plans to take up to a year off to unwind," Ryan Seacrest reported on-air via his morning show earlier this year.
All of that said, after landing her first no.1 album, despite releasing seven albums every year (back to back), perhaps Rihanna decided not to rock the boat by taking a break. Maybe she's hoping for another no.1 and another strong run following "Diamonds."
Should Rihanna take a break?
It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Rihanna, but the wait is finally over! The singer has scrapped all her plans for a break and enlisted music producer Rodney Jerkins to work on her upcoming album. Fans of the star are eagerly awaiting what this new collaboration could bring to the table.
Rihanna recently announced that she would be taking an extended hiatus, much to the dismay of her fans around the world. However, it appears that she has changed her mind about taking some time off and made moves to record her ninth studio album with Grammy award-winning producer Rodney Jerkins. This news comes as no surprise; after all, Rihanna had previously worked together with him on two albums in 2008 and 2016 respectively.
The announcement has sent shockwaves across social media, with many speculating how this newfound partnership between Rihanna and Jerkins will affect their sound. Will there be more upbeat pop tracks? Or perhaps they’ll go back to R&B roots? We can only speculate until official previews or singles are released – but one thing’s for sure: whatever these two come up with promises to be nothing short of amazing.
