Rihanna looked a little under the weather last night, as she headed to a LA recording studio to finish work on her new LP, ‘Unapologetic‘.
Sans her trademark and sporting a laid back look, Fenty’s late night studio session came a month before the LP’s November 19th release, which will see her go head to head with ‘Va Va Voom’ Rapper Nicki Minaj and ‘Woman To Woman‘ star Keyshia Cole, both of whom release albums on the same day.
However, in what may give the singer a competitive advantage of her rivals, she has called on up and coming creative Elijah Blake to craft cuts on the project.
Perhaps,in the hope of capturing the same success the writer enjoyed with Usher‘s ‘Climax’ and Cole’s ‘Enough Of No Love‘, both of which he penned.

Speaking to That Grape Juice recently, Blake explained:
“I cant say too much about what I worked on with Ri, other than it’s a song that represents her artistry at its core being, in that we’re both from the Islands.
I was able to tap into an element that I feel is going to add great texture to this album.. I was also hype to wake up to her tweeting the lyrics to a special song I wrote as well.. So we’ll see!”
