Rihanna‘s got a new groove…and it’s an independent one.

Starring in the forthcoming children’s movie ‘Home’, the ‘Music of the Sun‘ singer is now planning to drop her first independent release this year, doing so with the movie’s soundtrack.

Full story below…

This year saw fans learned that she had developed her very own record label, Westbury Road Entertainment, built after her quiet departure from Def Jam.

Now, the singer intends to use the company to release ‘Home’s soundtrack and has called on Roc Nation to serve as its distributor, inking a deal with her manager Jay Brown to make it happen.

News of her new deal comes before the movie’s March 27th release date and following the unveiling new single ‘FourFiveSeconds’, lifted from her eighth studio album.

    I’m sorry just not a Voice I “Yearn” to hear!! I’m just shocked that so many people really go in for Ri-Whine-A goatish sound I guess folks….

    • Sass February 5, 2015

      Loool I don’t know why I find your comments hilarious

    • Ok. February 5, 2015

      Everyone has different ears. What sounds like s*** to you, may not sound like that for others. I personally love Rihanna’s voice and it doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t think she sounds like a goat. I find her voice to be amazing.

  2. Quinton251 aka Lil Wayne Stan February 5, 2015

    Good for her, she’s not the best singer, but talent clearly isn’t a main key in this new era.

    • jtpop February 5, 2015

      And that idea shouldn’t be embraced or accepted either. She shouldn’t be rewarded or congratulated for having little or no talent. She should be dragged out into the public square and berated for being hoax.

  3. VLJ February 5, 2015

    Whatever. She’s boring.

      SIS, FORGET ABOUT #FOURFIVEBLOWJOBS BEING ANOTHER NO 1 1 FOR HER, THAT S*** ANI’T HAPPENING.

  5. TheTruth February 5, 2015

    Releasing a kid’s movie soundtrack on your own label? $$$$$&&$

  6. I Stan For Myself February 5, 2015

    This will be interesting to see how her albums sell. I mean it’s not like she has brilliant sales with 1, let alone 2 in one year. Gaga Ts. I hope it won’t be too much exposure.

  7. Cough Cough February 5, 2015

    Children’s movies songs tend to be very vocally driven and Broadway-esque. Unless this movies is going to be a-la “Bebe’s Kids” then I don’t Rihanna doing anything above sub par. A “cute tone” doesn’t execute vocal fireworks, properly, ie: 4,5 seconds

    • Cough Cough February 5, 2015

      I don’t see****

  8. DEL BEY February 5, 2015

    If the music industry actually rewarded and promoted talented singers, rihanna would still be on the beach chopping the tops of coconuts selling them for 20 cents

  9. LB February 5, 2015

    Beauty and brains, I love Riri, doing big things.

    • UM1 February 5, 2015

      She has neither.

      • Josie February 6, 2015

        She is beautiful tho.

  10. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT February 5, 2015

    Sam is such an evil bitter pressed D-hydrated bottom. He censored the word “Třéňt.” Sam fired Třéňt – a TGJ writer – because he was a Navy. Google “Třéňt tgj” (in ordinary letters). 😆

    • L21480 February 5, 2015

      ‘Sam is such an evil bitter pressed D-hydrated bottom.’

      *******

      But you virtually live at his blog and swing from his (nuts) every word like a bored, bitter, (de)pressed masochist. Common sense would dictate to a FUNCTIONAL person to not patron a spot where they have a problem with how its run. But no one ever said that crack-babies were smart, so your ironic behavior makes sense. At the end of the day when you’re steaming mad at what was posted at TGJ, I’m sure Sam is somewhere enjoying how you helped his traffic and revenue by clicking and commenting. And since he knows how well his shady comments compel your idiot ass to return again and again, I expect it all to continue! 😀

      • FutureCIARA February 5, 2015

        DRAGGGGG HA!!!!

        SAMANTHA IS THIS YOU GIRL??????

        YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ

      • Kyle February 5, 2015

        Wow at that flawless read. I never understood the bitter bums who visit this blog more than anyone but are always trying to come for Sam. Lmao. Jokes on them.

    • Monica Fan February 5, 2015

      He was NOT a Navy. Funniest thing i’ve read all day. He stays reading Riri for filth, it was worse back in tha day! It is the reason MARIAH gets shaded here though.

  11. TheElusiveLamb February 5, 2015

    See this what Rihanna should be doing. Those hits can only get you pennies (unless you’re the writer/co-writer see Mariah Carey All I Want for Christmas Is You royalties for more info), but major moves like owning your own label and releasing albums on your own dime bring in millions. I can honestly see Rihanna going down the Madonna route as she gets older. Business first, Money second, and Music third.

  12. Al February 5, 2015

    Am I the only one who thinks Rihannas career is only going the gaga way.,…… Down.
    Unless it has a single like let it go she best hope it sells

    • blue February 5, 2015

      dont come broadcasting your hopes as facts. Nothing at all points to an artpop kinda era… Clearly no one expects frozen numbers
      because first the movie isnt a musical and she is gonna release a second album later in the year effectively killing whatever lifespan the soundtrack would have had.

      • Al February 5, 2015

        I ain’t hoping for nothing not a Rihanna fan. So take a seat

  13. blue February 5, 2015

    oh this will be interesting to watch, since FFS dropped i thought it hinted at dreamworks cancelling the soundtrack, but now with the soundtrack still on i see R8 coming in november.

  14. Cough Cough February 5, 2015

    Oh Navy.. Wait, wait, wait. Insiders have just informed me that, in fact, Home is going to be a “Bebe’s Kids”-like movie, so Rihanna should fair well with it’s soundtrack. She’s I was scared for second!

    http://youtu.be/3k8ch2PAuuU

  15. blue February 5, 2015

    she is being smart, i see this soundtrack doing 500k in the usa and around 1.5mil ww and thats if the first single is a hit. Rihanna isnt a song writer so that isnt gonna bring as much money as one would like, so having it be released on her label she will squeeze as much profit from it as possible. #smart

    • j.cole wife February 5, 2015

      correction: rihanna has written and co-written a lot of her songs. including some of her hits

      • blue February 5, 2015

        she has co-written a lot of her songs, but she has never been the head writer has she? Which is why she isnt grouped with the katy perrys, taylor swifts, alicia keys, adeles or ed sheerans of singer songwriters…she is with the beyonces except the stealing part. She contributes but never enough to actually claim the song.

        Im a rihanna fan!

  16. The Beysus Impact February 5, 2015

    LOL girl bye…

  17. Monica Fan February 5, 2015

    Ok

  18. Tyler February 5, 2015

    Between this and R8, I feel like this year will be a mess…
    Its like she waited 2 years to build up hype and is now going to destroy all of it with not one but two messy releases.

    • blue February 5, 2015

      everyone has known about the soundtrack for almost a year now, where have you been!?

      • Tyler February 5, 2015

        Everyone….really?

    • 160 February 5, 2015

      Like 4?..bow down

  19. Queen Madonna February 5, 2015

    Hmmm… I feel like she should just become a full time model. This negro will NEVER reach Madonna’s status. Her ignorant fans always talking about she’s gonna outsell M. No WAY! She’s a single artist. 90% of her sales comes from 1$ singles. The Queen’s sales are more respectable.

    Back in the day, singles were sold for $3.99 – $6.99. She’s got it easy. Also, Madonna sold ALBUMS & SINGLES & VIDEOS. Not just ONE format. Her “artistic” ability is non-existent too. She doesn’t write nor produce the CORE of her music. She’s no REAL performer either. Just the run of the mill pop star. She’ll be a has-been one day too…

    • britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

      no one is talking about madonna idiot

    • britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

      you’re an ignorant f****, why would she become a model when her music career is one of the most successful ones ever? Idiot! Why would any artist try to reach Moldonna’s level? Rihanna is trying to reach the highest she can, and she’s done very good at it. I’m laughing at your stupidity, how dare you say that when you stan for an untalented old lady who started the “i cant sing but i’ll sing generic songs and act slutty for relevance” trend. Madonna ruined the music industey! Sit your broke ass down

      • Josie February 6, 2015

        Madonna ruined the music industry? If it wasn’t for Madonna, Rihanna would never have gotten a record deal! She paved the way for thots like RiRi.

    • Al February 5, 2015

      You mean the granny who should be in that care home. Aint no one checking on here for her. She ain’t be relevant for years so take back the plastic bloke looking leotarded and sign grab a granny in #Take a seat and what has Grandonna sold in the digital age hmm where’s ya reciepts take a SEAT

    • solange knowles fan February 5, 2015

      actually rihanna does writes and co-writes a lot of her songs. check her credits

      • britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

        all these ugly BeyHive putting a -1 on all these comments for defendin Rihanna. They are so bitter LMAOOO!

  20. britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

    queen of concept albums! Poor beyonce, Rihanna is about to overshadow her forgettable visual album lol

    • The Beysus Impact February 5, 2015

      The delusion…. When has she EVER made a concept album???? And she wanted to release R8 on Grammy night when Bey wins AOTY??? Sit the f*** down….

      • blue February 5, 2015

        be ready to eat your words when the grammys come and there is no R8 in sight

      • britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

        i cant wait to see Bangerz beat Beyonce’s album lol. Quality over quantity, and quality is something Beyonce does not have

      • Kyle February 5, 2015

        @BritneyFlopCarey. Is that why visual album is universally acclaimed?

      • Kyle February 5, 2015

        Bangerz
        beat Beyonce album at what? Lmao. Where is nominated for Album of the year?

      • Alex February 6, 2015

        Bangerz?? Sorry only female nominated in the category is Beyonce! #Youcantsitwithus

    • Tyler February 5, 2015

      Rihanna will always be more known for her singles than her albums…so that s*** sounds stupid.

      • britneyraycarey February 5, 2015

        not you wishing that was true when Talk That Talk sold more than the forgettable visual album lol. Seethe b*****

      • Tyler February 5, 2015

        Are you and Britney smoking the same stuff??? That visual albums is about to outsell Talk that S***, which came out 2 years PRIOR. So put the pipe down.

  21. j.cole wife February 5, 2015

    I see you rihanna . you get your business hustle on. with you owning your own label. equals more money for you(cause the company you owns get a percentage of your able sale) and it also equals more creative control.

    • Josie February 6, 2015

      Creative control? She’s not creative at all. Other than the way she looks, there’s no originality there. She sings her songs exactly how they are played to her on the demos and adds nothing. She’s like a karaoke singer with s*** videos.

  22. The Beysus Impact February 5, 2015

    be ready to eat your words when the grammys come and there is no R8 in sight <<<< of course not, the night is all about Beyonce… *sips tea*

    Quality over quantity, and quality is something Beyonce does not have <<<< absolute delusion… Explain the rave reviews…

  23. Tea honey February 5, 2015

    Idk why the hives are seething when their supposed favorite is the king of music? lol anyways rih I am so proud of you taking all these risks it will all pay off can’t wait for a greatest hits

  24. Tyler February 5, 2015

    “Talk That Talk sold more than the forgettable visual album lol”
    Where is Ashton Kutcher at? Tell him to come back from behind that curtain because I know this b**** cant be serious.

  25. The Beysus Impact February 5, 2015

    LOL the delusion of someone thinking Bangerz is better than BEYONCE…

    • Tyler February 5, 2015

      Has Miley Cyrus learned how to hit a C note yet?

      • The Beysus Impact February 5, 2015

        Did Hannah Montana learn how to hit a C note?

      • Tyler February 5, 2015

        LOL

  26. Kyle February 5, 2015

    #BeysInspired. Not her releasing stuff independantly and trying to get acclaim like SELF TITLED era. I can see this flopping though.

    • Mark111 February 5, 2015

      But BEYONCE wasn’t an inde project tho…

  27. FutureCIARA February 5, 2015
