Yeah, but there's a difference between using him to get a first hit single and doing him a favour and appearing on his album. I don't want a generic first single either, but their track would be fire.

actually Dr Luke has shown more versatility than David Guetto. if Dr Luke bring his best out, and with help from Chase n Status, Riri could have the freshest, most amazing, organize dance single of the year. imagine if you combine chase n status dubstep wit dr luke 80s pop influence elctro beat!!

RihannaDaily says that the single could leak before tuesday in the US!! I guess they will leak it on sunday and let the song play for all the week... dunno

Don't you think it's all kind of suspicious? There is no buzz at all and the FIRST single is premiering in a few days? Like, no official announcement, just a post on a random blog.

I don't know. Are Def Jam that crazy to drop a song without even announcing anything?

Gimme More premiered without an announcement too and it did fine.

I find it funny too... but The biggest radio here in Spain has already posted the news.... It says it will premiere on tuesday... So I dont know....

Maybe they dont want to do the same they did with Russian Roulette, to make a huge expectation and then people was kind of dissapointed, maybe they want to release the song and let it grow itself, IDK

I dont think its weird. I mean they only announced Russian Roulette like 2 days before it premiered.
And plus, this is just for the UK, not the US anyway.

Rihanna always comes out of nowhere with new stuff.

Can't Wait for her debut single.

^ Exactly. Plenty of places are confirming it, there is just no official announcement. There was zero hype for russian roulette until about a day before its premiere.

But i do agree it just came outta nowhere, Rated R was only released about 10 months ago.

Um... she's been in the game since 2005.

A Dr.Luke production featuring Katy Perry would be gold!


I can't ****ing wait for this track!

OMFG cannot wait!!!

OMG IM GOING TO DIE X.X

Why? So Rihanna can sound like every other disposable pop confection out there? Dr. Luke's sound will sound stale and cheap two years from now, I want something from Rihanna that's everlasting and not just another burst of saccharine.

I see you are pretty bitter

I'm listening to Take A Bow this song is INCREDIBLE, I need part 2 like RIGH NOW

THIS! They said this album will have ZERO fillers and that the album will be called the "Classic Rihanna album". They better ****ing bring it.

I want hit after hit and Dr.Luke only produces HITS

Correct. I'm bitter that he turned my favorite artist of the last five years into a vapid bimbo.

Not all of his songs are bad, but his formula is getting old and is suffering diminished returns. Rihanna has worked too hard to evolve her sound, it would be a shame to see her retrogress into electro-bubblegum.
