Cop a gander of Rihanna!
The popular singles artists serves a fierceness her voice cannot on the November 2013 cover of Glamour magazine.
Reportedly readying new material, the 25-year-old has been busying herself on Diamonds World Tour – which set sail earlier this year to lukewarm reviews from critics and cultural commentators.
Just one day separates pop diva Lady Gaga from the final version of her highly anticipated new album ‘Artpop’, due in stores November 11th.
Led by the thunderous single ‘Applause’, the song’s performance on charts already has fans quizzing the Mother Monster on its follow-up as well as the list of guest stars to be expected on the album. One name that has plagued the rumor mill is that of ‘What Now’ wailer Rihanna.
The Barbadian beauty sent the mill into overdrive after taking to Twitter to announce:
Just left the studio… Recorded a #monster hook for one of my favorite artists! And that’s all I can give you… #NavyShit — Rihanna (@rihanna) September 11, 2013
But, if a recent radio interview with the ‘Poker Face’ performer is anything to go by, fans shouldn’t be expecting to hear the pop titans collab anytime soon:
Conversation highlights:
1:52 – Two versions of ‘Artpop’
4:00 – On being inspired by singer Selena (Quintanilla)
5:00 – Next single?
5:48 – Rihanna on ‘ARTPOP’?
*****
It’s all in the phrasing of the question. Gaga may have denied Rihanna’s guest appearance on ‘Artpop’, but she never denied her appearance on Ri’s forthcoming effort (or any collab in general).
Time will tell.
Nine months after the release of his debut album ‘Long Live A$AP’, A$AP Rocky eyes Billboard Hot 100 territory with his new video for the song ‘Fashion Killa‘.
Enlisting Rihanna to pull in the viewers he’ll need to ensure a favourable chart position in the coming week, the fashion forward MC was also joined by long time pal A$AP Ferg, who hits the clip to score a little promo op of his own.
Rhythm and romance below…
