Rihanna Hot New Album Update: Yung Berg To Produce on Rihanna's 8th Studio Album
Few details are being released about pop star Rihanna's upcoming eighth studio album, but the rumors and speculation are still leaving the music industry baited in anticipation.
Grammy-nominated producer Yung Berg said in a recent interview that he is working on the singer's next album. Berg already has a long list of big-name albums he has produced beats for, including Lil Wayne, Jason Derulo and Ray J. He admitted one of the track names that he collaborated on for the "Diamonds" singer's album.
"We got a joint called 'All Night' for Rih," Berg said.
When pressed, Yung Berg said the song was also produced by Nic Nac, who produced Chris Brown's, Rihanna's ex-boyfriend, hit "Loyal."
"It sounds like uh... produced by Nic Nac, he did 'Loyal,'" Berg said. "Me and Nic Nac went in, man. It's about being down all night, ya feel me?"
Vibe magazine writer Michael Arceneaux speculated on how much drive the 26-year-old still has for creating music when she has already received so many accolades. Mariah Carey and The Beatles are the only remaining musical artists RiRi has not surpassed in number of number one singles on Billboard sales charts, along with winning numerous music awards and releasing several platinum-selling albums.
"No matter how entertaining and captivating she is, the 'DGAF attitude' she's praised for might also prove to be her Achilles heel," Arceneaux wrote. "DGAF" refers to the acronym Don't Give a F***. "It's not that Rihanna isn't capable of stepping it up; only she barely elects to do so."
The Barbados-born star is keeping mum about her follow-up to the platinum-selling 2012 album "Unapologetic," but took to twitter to give a sneak peek. Posting a photo of a studio mixing board with the hashtag "#R8," as in "R" for Rihanna and "8" referring to her eighth album.
