Rihanna’s team sure has some high standards in mind for her next studio LP. In a recent blog post on VIBE.com, Island Def Jam A&R worker Bu Thiam has stated that Rihanna’s upcoming release is set to be on the same level as Michael Jackson’s iconic ‘Thriller’ album. Check out what he had to say below:

Rihanna is coming along incredibly. I’m trying to push her to where every song will be a hit from 1 to 12. I’m talking about NO album fillers. Our bar for this album is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. We got smashes from Stargate, Ester Dean, Mel & Mus and Rock City. We’re definitely going in with Ne-Yo, The-Dream and other writers and producers that have always been a part of her creative process since day one. She’s great to work with and very hands on with every song that’s being written and produced. She has visual concepts for just about every song. It’s already giving me the feel of a timeless album, and right now is her time.

Oh dear. I love Rihanna, but I think they're setting her up for a fall here...

Bigging material up like that NEVER works. Why do they bother?

It makes people HATE them for being so cocky and ridiculous.

By all means, hype up the album, but this is just asking for people to lash out.

Not in a million years would Rihanna make an album as good as Thriller, and I say that as someone who really likes Rihanna and her music.

Looking forward to hearing it though.
