She should book Superbowl then
jkI think she's taking her time with this album tbh. 'TTT' was recorded extremely fast because she got ALL the songs from a songwriting camp her label put together. So basically she didn't have to work with any producer or songwriter in person or even record many tracks only to reject them in the process. She sat down with the label executives, they listened to all the songs they got from the songwriting camp (about 100 I guess) and they picked about 20 of them, which she just added her vocals too. Then she went back home and let her executive producers mix and master the tracks. That's pretty much a 3-week process. That's why we got 'TTT' so unexpectedly ![]() This time, she's choosing the producers and doing actual sessions with them (RedOne, Swedish House Mafia, Chase & Status etc), so it's going to take MUCH more time to wrap up the album. Besides, I think they started recording it now because she wants to have the album done before she goes to tour, which makes perfect sense. She recorded part of 'TTT' in her tour bus, though! And that's another reason why she managed to bring the album out in November.Rihanna seems to be working with a lot of British producers on this album, Burns (friend of Calvin Harris'), Labrinth, Chase & Status again too. I agree about her sitting down with producers and actually recording with them, hence why she appears to be living in London the past few months. I wouldn't mind a lead single in November as there's loads of promotion opportunities to get it out there. |

I predict an album early next year. I would like a break in the pattern she is giving us
It's always a lead single by september, album by november, followed by a second single before xmas, followed by a third single by spring, followed by a summer single and then straight on to next album I would also like her to creatively become apart of her music. She did it for Rated R and some of Good girl gone bad. Although i reckon her label stop her control on what she wants to do, not so much her. JIVE barely let Britney do anything to her albums. |

I would say judging by the Loud pattern, the tour would commence in Europe/UK late July/August. If the demand's great in Europe she will probably extend it out in Europe and finish up in November/early December. I am making it my mission to see Rihanna this tour! Loud looked amazing from what I've seen.
I noticed they posted in early 2012 that the DVD would be out 2012...perhaps this Christmas to keep us amused until new music next year? I am hoping so I'm still excited for it if they're gonna do it! |

Rap-genius says "Could be actual yellow diamonds, but based on the video it’s probably referring to a type of ecstasy pill."
![]() There's been a lot of tweets suggesting we could be getting music soon. So many producers/writers have been tweeting saying they've been working on stuff for her recently and considering how fast TTT was recorded, I don't think it'll be too long a wait. I'd also rather have her release the album after the world tour but it looks like we'll be getting it before the tour. Maybe around the time of the Grammys? (Feb) I'm not waiting for an album this year like I was the past 2. It's good that she's not rush releasing. I just hope #7 is a but more upbeat. |

Can't wait for Diamonds.
Just checked out her Paralympics performances, they were all really solid. Very good vocals on all of it. I wish Rihanna came down from the chair in We Found Love to do the dance breakdown, I love watching her move but then again those solid vocals would be endangered! |

I take back my past few comments about her spending more time on #7.
![]() I can't say I'm not excited to hear the single/album, just wasn't expecting it in under a week. |

After a few listens Diamonds is no stinker neither is up there with her best as a song it dosn't seem to go anywhere all build and no pay off poor verses and a semi okay chorus again if a little more time and work went into instead of throwing it out we might have had a classic my hopes for album 7 diminish by the day.

Oooh i love it. Seven can mean a lot to people in different ways. Lucky Number 7? The 7 Deadly sins
Rihanna could pull of a seven deadly sins theme for her era or tour. I hope it is true. |

Diamonds is now my favourite song she has ever done. I know some are trying to say she is singing like Sia in the song but she isn't. That's her accent!! it just blends with the lyrics differently to many of her previous songs.

If/when Rihanna gets a number 1 on Sunday, has she broken another record?
I remember last year them saying that she was the only solo female to have 5 number 1s in consecutive years? 2007 - Umbrella 2008 - Take A Bow 2009 - Run This Town 2010 - Only Girl 2011 - What's My Name/We Found Love 2012 - Diamonds? |

Haven't visited this thread for a while. When I first heard Diamonds I wasn't sure what to think, I was expecting a dance song. Now I LOVE it. Played it quite a bit and am so happy it made it to No.1. Wasn't expecting it, but it is a great song. Can't wait for the album

Based on the previews released, I must say my favorites for now are Pour It Up, Lovex5 Song, What Now, Nobodies Business, Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary, Lost In Paradise and Half of Me. All brilliant sounding songs.
