After months of being in the limelight for every reason other than her music, Rihanna is set to return to the charts with her fourth studio album. For a while now, there has been increased speculation that the Bajan star was eyeing a November release for the as yet untitled LP; today those murmurs were confirmed as true – with the ‘singer’s’ Twitter page cryptically reading:
Am I excited about the prospect of another RiRi LP and the inevitable aggressive ‘be force fed it until you like it’ promo campaign that will accompany it? No. Am I looking forward to hearing her dying alley cat in pain vocals all over the radio? Hell no. I will say, though, that Ms. Fenty – who I legitimately believe is the Best-Worst singer to have graced the charts – definitely has my attention in that I’m interested to see if she can duplicate or even come close to the success she achieved with ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’. With her limited/non-existent talent and her place as more of tabloid fodder rather than a legit artist, Stevie Wonder could see her sell-by date. Then again, this is the music industry…. stranger things have happened (see: Madonna).
