Riri's got a new R





Rihanna‘s not usually a girl who liked to tease — usually, she’s perfectly happy just laying it all out there for all the world to see. (Particularly when it involves flaunting her body.)

But the new website Rihanna7.com is all kinds of enigmatic, emblazoned with an “R” made up of words that don’t quite seem to be lyrics or a track list, exactly. They’re words commonly associated with Rihanna, such as references to her “Navy,” the word “roc,” the title of her upcoming single “Diamonds,” and even a random reference to a Talk That Talk track (“Red Lipstick”). What does it all mean?!?

There is some speculation that the website may indicate that Rihanna’s seventh studio album will be called, quite appropriately, 7. This may be, in which case Rihanna seems to be one-upping Beyonce‘s 4 (or, technically, three-upping her) by putting out almost double the number of LPs even though Bey’s been around a lot longer. But this kind of copycatting seems a little beneath someone as established as Ri Ri. (Plus, it just reminds us of the movie Se7en, which in turn reminds us of Gwyneth Paltrow‘s head in a box. Ew.)

More likely, the website is just a reference to the fact that this is Rihanna’s seventh album, with the actual title “coming soon” as promised. We bet at least a few track titles we’ll see on the album are buried in here, along with some lyrics, perhaps. But mostly, we think this is just a big ol’ tease to keep us salivating until “Diamonds” hits the airwaves on Wednesday.

I noticed 'In Medias Res' in the R myself and that would be an awesome album title imo but lbr her core audience isn't going to understand what that means & also it would set up the implication that she plans to release 14 total albums l o l

pabu 24th-Sep-2012 01:48 am (UTC)
i stand corrected.
chantemarissa 24th-Sep-2012 01:47 am (UTC)
G4L riri better stop teasing me
ratchetry 24th-Sep-2012 01:49 am (UTC)
The fact that there are songs on this album (allegedly) that are rejects from past albums, as well as G4L, is not a good sign

And this is coming from someone who loves Riri
chantemarissa 24th-Sep-2012 01:51 am (UTC)
not really tbh. riri has pretty good demos that she slept on for ttt because they didn't fit the theme of the album.
demiiiiii 24th-Sep-2012 01:51 am (UTC)
mte
hahahey 24th-Sep-2012 02:10 am (UTC)
she better not put G4L on there, what a waste of a track space.
drkshdw 24th-Sep-2012 02:21 am (UTC)
tbh, i think G4L is one of her best songs, but IA no need for it to be on the new record when it's on Rated R already.
luckyluxk 24th-Sep-2012 02:15 am (UTC)
IDGI. Is this an album made from rejected demos?
drkshdw 24th-Sep-2012 02:20 am (UTC)
was G4L confirmed, or is she just using that as a motto/on the R logo?
pistol_eyes 24th-Sep-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
but a lot of her rejects are bangers tho.
markovnikov 24th-Sep-2012 02:01 pm (UTC)
which is sad because i felt like talk that talk was a giant reject album from loud
bash18 24th-Sep-2012 01:49 am (UTC)
I can't wait to hear the new single.
scheisse 24th-Sep-2012 01:50 am (UTC)
i'm sure the website will be a success as long as fans don't have to pay to use it.

damn
whitegirlthin 24th-Sep-2012 03:07 am (UTC)
LOL irl
saltonmycuts 24th-Sep-2012 03:46 am (UTC)
lmaooo
juanbomb 24th-Sep-2012 04:16 am (UTC)
Lol yet Rihanna is the biggest selling digital artist in History.

Stay mad.
treatyoself 24th-Sep-2012 01:57 am (UTC)
YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION. I like this.
jinnycalderone 24th-Sep-2012 02:00 am (UTC)
interesting. idk, i just want new music. im already over talk that talk tbh. its weird, her music gets more stale quicker than others. w/e, im ready. lets go.
keef_riffhards 24th-Sep-2012 02:05 am (UTC)
The only song off TTT that I haven't stopped caring about is "We Found Love." That song's one of the best she's ever released. The production is fantastic.
luckyluxk 24th-Sep-2012 02:13 am (UTC)
I stopped caring about WFL like a month after it was released. I only care now about Drunk on Love, but I can live only with "Intro" by the XX
jinnycalderone 24th-Sep-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
ia, i love that song. i think i only ended up liking a couple tracks this time around.
whitegirlthin 24th-Sep-2012 03:08 am (UTC)
That song will always be a classic, for sure
ponpiri 24th-Sep-2012 02:11 am (UTC)
True, but that's so weird because TTT is a very interesting album sound-wise. For me, she sings about the same damn thing (her twat and who is working it at the time), that even the music can't hold my attention.
drkshdw 24th-Sep-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
idk, i think TTT and Loud were both really solid pop albums. I think her biggest mistake was not releasing the full Birthday Cake on TTT. It just seemed rushed more than anything, but all of her last four albums have really amazing standouts. Rated R will always be her best until she proves otherwise tho.
laurie_springs 24th-Sep-2012 03:09 am (UTC)
. its weird, her music gets more stale quicker than others.

That is so true actually.
luckyluxk 24th-Sep-2012 02:12 am (UTC)
"7" really? Just like thiefoncé's "4" mixed with a little bit of Femme Fatale logo and its "7".

I cannot belive this bitch has already 7 studio albums, just like Brit. Madge has been around for 30 years and she only has 12 stuidio albums. This is obviously reflected in the music quality, tho.
dragoncrab88 24th-Sep-2012 02:55 pm (UTC)
Mte. It seems young female pop stars nowadays are afraid of being forgotten, so they never take breaks and keep churning out albums. That's not a good thing imo
backincharge 24th-Sep-2012 02:13 am (UTC)
Even though it's still too soon, I'm looking forward to Diamonds. I'm sure it'll be amazing.

Especially since Sia wrote it.

why are ppl saying G4L is on this? was that confirmed. I love it either way, one of my fav RiRi songs, but I don't think she would do that...
tankmachine 24th-Sep-2012 02:22 am (UTC)
it's in the R but nobody is really sure if the words inside the R have any significance to the album
drkshdw 24th-Sep-2012 02:27 am (UTC)
got it. i'd be surprised if she put it on the record. that would just come off as lazy. although, she doesn't care what anyone thinks so there's that. i would be so into a G4L part 2 tho.
hypnology 24th-Sep-2012 02:24 am (UTC)
I saw the word 'break' and thought she was going to take one till I realized it was 'heartbreak.'
kellerton 24th-Sep-2012 02:29 am (UTC)
we get it, your name starts with R.
ennuixo 24th-Sep-2012 03:06 am (UTC)
damn, she's already on her 7th album? jeeze
whitegirlthin 24th-Sep-2012 03:09 am (UTC)
right?
laurie_springs 24th-Sep-2012 03:11 am (UTC)
I don't pay attention to her demos/leftovers so this album won't disappoint me lol As long as there's no ballads, at least (yesh @ TTT's ones)

That said I'm still pissed over Red Lipstick. How you gonna take Nicki's best song and make it that mediocre? smh
bprorsum 24th-Sep-2012 03:21 am (UTC)
Take a motherfucking break!

Does she have a crack habit that her record company is supporting? I've never seen someone release this many albums at this pace.

It seems unnecessary.

Amen
