Rihanna has revealed that she is already making plans for her next album.

Speaking about the follow-up to 2009's Rated R, the singer declared that she wants to head in the opposite direction to her last record.

Rihanna told MTV News: "Rated R, I love the sound of it, in terms of the bass. I really like the bottom, the grime of it.

"But if I were to combine that with more energetic, up-tempo pop records, then I think that will be a happy marriage. And that's where we'll probably go next."

Good that's how she shines is her umtempo smashes! GGGB!

heard this this morning ... not really planning for next album, its just saying that this is the direction she will probably go in when it comes to recording it. "/

I love her and I love her msuic so if she wants to keep doin music like Rated R im fine with it but I also love Dancehanna!

This is what I was expecting for Disturbia and I would love to hear her make more club bangers.

I think she need to get "Rated R" out of her system. And thank god she did, because it's a brilliant album that deserves to get a lot of recognition on the awards circuit next year.

But GGGB was amazing too. Whatever she does next - as long as its good - I'll support her.

Yes, go RiRi! Fanmail for 27 million.

Wait, so a Rih-Release isn't gonna happen ?

or she's gonna be like Gaga and release 8 New tracks on an album..

LF> Good Girl Gone Bad: Part II; Good Girl Gone Bad Ass

But if I were to combine that with more energetic, up-tempo pop records, then I think that will be a happy marriage. And that's where we'll probably go next

YASSS Rihanna. Please do it!

rushing out albums while you know who is on a break

as we predicted gorls

Oh kisuke u kill me! Ur gifs are the best!

Yes, planning the direction.

yeahh,, planning the direction ... not planning a new album

why are you all talking about new albums? on the clip of the interview, they are talking about rated r, and she was asked what direction she would take after this, so she said where she would like to go after rated r is over ... she's not going to be rushing out albums while beyonces on a 'break'. remember, rated r re-release, 3 more rated r singles ...

Uh.....nice gif!

BUT. Close this flop thread! Yesterday she went shopping for new sneakers, were we informed of that? NO! She isn't releasing a new album; but a Rih-Release is happening.

I think its to early to open a thread like this,she didnt even re-release Rated R!
