About BRIAN
your very own personal disco ball.
After a huge year of controversy, apartment hunting and holding her tongue from any interviews (except for 20/20 of course), Rihanna finally broke her silence on Monday (November 23rd), when she dropped her “fourth” studio album, Rated R.
LISTEN UP:
On Rated R, we’ve found that the “good girl” has completely “gone bad.” As far as her image goes, the new album picks up exactly where the last one left off. She’s fully made the transition into a real live “bad girl,” and no one is questioning why.
We got out first taste of Rihanna’s darkness when she debuted her first single, “♫ Russian Roulette.” The Chuck Harmoney-produced, Ne-Yo-penned track had fans and critics chattering with it’s edged-out concept and lyrics, very much improved vocal, as well as the implied nude shot, complete with barbed wire. The direction was clear and the tone of the album had been set.

Fresh off the heels of a world tour, rerelease of her third album, as well as a release of a live intimate performance today, it’s been said that Beyonce has announced that she is preparing an album for 2010 release.
During her final show in the U.K., where she also recorded the show for a DVD that will be released sometime next year, fans reeled with Beyonce wrapped the show with these words:
“I’ll see you in a year with a new album.” [Watch here.]
In addition to the announcement at the show, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, the producer responsible for “Deja Vu,” also confirmed via his Twitter that he is getting in some grind time, working on some tracks for Bey’s upcoming album.
Interestingly enough, by the time the tour DVD comes out next year, her last album, I Am… Sasha Fierce will have been out for two years. People might say that she saturates the market when she drops, but let’s face it, this lady doesn’t do anything but work.
Kelis dropped her fans a little gift via her Twitter page, in the form of a new song, titled “Acapella” on Monday afternoon.
The new track is reportedly produced by the popular DJ, David Guetta, who is currently promoting his latest album, One Love.
Timbaland finally premieres his video for his new debut single from his new studio album, Shock Value 2.
The video for “Morning After Dark” features Timbaland’s new French artist, SoShy. Shock Value 2 is slated to hit stores December 8th.
