"So far people have been recording a lot of the music," Kiesza told Digital Spy backstage at Wireless Festival this weekend.
"Rihanna recorded two or three of my songs. Whether they will end up on the album, I don't know."
"When I started I did the whole writing for an artist, but I've stopped doing that. I think it takes away from my writing," she said.
"The one that Rihanna has cut is one that I never in a million years expected her to pick out, so it was super interesting. It just shows that people want to evolve and try new things."
“I got a song on her album already, but I’m tryna get some more,” he said. “It’s a ballad. It’s not like anything you’ve ever heard from me before. Some new ****. New sound. Might have me here for the next 30 [summers].”

#R8 TeeFLii is writing for Rihanna's upcoming 8th album: "I’m actually about to write a song for Rihanna, that’s a blessing."
#R8 TeeFlii was brought into the mix after Rihanna and DJ Mustard got in the studio together and she took a liking to his tracks.
#R8 "She loved my sound and [said] she wanted to get down with me. Hopefully we can cook up some Grammy nominations."

@ShyRonnie_RN super awesome
Quote:
Have there been any songs you’ve given to other artists that you wish you recorded and released as your own?
There’s one that a I just gave to Rihanna. [Laughs] Like as soon as I played it for her manager, he flipped over it and [when] he left the house I felt sick. I was like, “F–k.” It was going to be on my record, but he was over and I was playing him loads of jams. And I was like, “Maybe you’ll like this one…” [Other than that] not really, I mean I did like “Perfume.” I would have kept that for myself, but Britney [Spears] is a really sweet gal and I was happy to give it away.
Emeli Sande + Naughty Boy (+ possibly Labrinth)
Quote:
Emeli Sandé has confirmed that she is writing songs for Rihanna's new album.
The singer-songwriter told Digital Spy and other journalists at the Ivor Novello Awards today (May 22) that she was penning tracks for the follow-up to 2012's Unapologetic.
"There's been a lot going on. I've been back in [the studio] with Naughty Boy, which has been amazing," Sandé said.
"I've been writing for Rihanna's new movie, which has been incredible. I was with Rodney Jerkins the other night. I feel now I'm back in creative mode."
Rihanna is currently planning a concept album based around the upcoming 3D animated movie Home.

He said: ''Our manager, Joe, had been talking with Jay Brown at Roc Nation. I got a call from Jay Brown who said, 'I've had a chat with Rihanna. You've got to do a session with us.' The night goes on and day goes on, then at 5am my phone rings and my girlfriend at the time is asleep next to me. 'Hey Saul, it's Rihanna' My girlfriend goes, 'Who's that?' and I whisper, 'It's Rihanna!' It was a strange time to get a call but Rihanna said she loved the tunes, particularly 'Eastern Jam'. Within a week we were in the studio with her, Mr Hudson, Pharrell, Drake...''

Kanye West (+ Bibi Bourelly)
Quote:
Jay Z is widely regarded as the mastermind behind Rihanna's success and his collaborations with Kanye West have led to critical and commercial success for them both.
But on Wednesday, while Jay Z was kicking off his On The Run tour in Miami with his wife Beyonce Knowles, Kanye and Rihanna hit up a studio without him.
The duo were spotted together in West Hollywood on a late night recording session while Jay was hard at work on the other side of the country.
Nigerian music star, Wizkid has confirmed that he is working on a song with Rihanna.
In a chat with media personality, Toolz on Beat FM hours ago, the super star who turned 24 today, said he indeed has a song with international pop star, Rihanna.
“Yes, we did a duet, it will be out soon”
The song is off his forthcoming album which would be released soon.
It seems that the Rihanna (#R8) is further along than we think. In a recent interview with JONALI'S BLOG, Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane reveals details about their relationship with the Stereotypes -- who is more like their in house producer for their new album. She also spilled that they have worked with Rihanna on her new album. The Stereotypes are known for Danity Kane's signature pop hit single, DAMAGED... Do you think the NAVY and the general public would be here for something like this?

John Mayer (rumored)
Quote:
“John and Rihanna appeared very friendly in a corner of the swanky rooftop club,” the eyewitness tells the mag.
The onlooker continued to say there were no “obvious” signs of flirtation between the pair, but they did enjoy “a lingering goodnight hug as John departed the lounge shortly after 11 PM.”
Michael Bolton (rumored)
They were spotted together and the singer said on Rihanna: "“LUV this artist. Can’t wait to sing together”.

@JoelCompass You working for Rihanna's 8th album tho?

@ZaynDiamonds haha, let's watch this space bro...
Glass John, Jeff Bhasker, Natalia Kills
Kiss It Better
+ Rihanna favoriting Glass John's tweets before
'She Knows' singer was open about his views on Tyga and Drake's recent run in, discussed what he thinks of Chris Brown's recent Instagram outburst and revealed that he has recorded new songs with Rihanna.
"I've heard some of the stuff. It's absolutely incredible. I can't speak on what it sounds like because I'll get in trouble," Ne-Yo said.
When he’s not working on his own music, he’s been in the studio with Usher, Keyshia Cole, and Rihanna.
“She’s always on some new stuff. She never even stopped recording,” he said of the “Diamonds” singer. “I think right after the last album dropped, she was in the studio two weeks later. They ain’t even know what album they was gonna put it on, but that’s why she’s probably one of the best of our generation.”
Mikky Ekko (rumored)
Quote:
He's also working on projects with Zedd, Gwen Stefani, Giorgio Moroder, Rihanna and others.
Lots of producers you just mentioned are probably also working on the 12 songs the president of Dreamworks talked about.
Quote:
"We have tried to go kind of a slightly different path on some of them. This movie 'Home' we have coming, Rihanna is actually doing 12 songs for the movie. It's not breaking into song. The characters don't sing and dance in the movie itself in it. But it is the soundtrack of the film and the songs have been written very specifically for scenes in the movie and for characters in the movie".
Isn't Home coming in that time?
So it makes no sense to release R8 during that time too. It will come this fall ...
Home is scheduled for a March 2015 release date...so I look for R8 to be released sometime around late April/May 2015 at the earliest. The "Home" movie/soundtrack is super important to Rih...she been working on that project for a couple of years. Now we might get the first single for the "Home" album late this year...
It don't make good business sense to be promoting an "adult themed" album, and a kids movie/soundtrack at the same time, tbh.
I was planning to make a thread like this too so thanks for doing this I don't think you left anything out.
Anyway this album seems SO promising already. I can imagine this being very urban (since she worked with so many urban producers) + pop influences (Chris Martin, Darkchild,Sia)
"R8 & R9 all the receipts" should be the title tbh
Edit: also Bruno Mars mysteriously followed rihanna
Yeah he did back in February,actually Rihanna followed him one week and one week later Bruno did. He only follows artists he worked with (the only artists he follows who he hasn't worked with are Pink and Big Sean).
If I missed anything please post in the thread
I don't think you left anything out.
He only follows artists he worked with (the only artists he follows who he hasn't worked with are Pink and Big Sean).
