Def Jam: "Our bar for Rihanna's new album is MJ's Thriller"
Quote:
Rihanna is coming along incredibly. I’m trying to push her to where every song will be a hit from 1 to 12. I’m talking about NO album fillers. Our bar for this album is Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. We got smashes from Stargate, Ester Dean, Mel & Mus and Rock City. We’re definitely going in with Ne-Yo, The-Dream and other writers and producers that have always been a part of her creative process since day one. She’s great to work with and very hands on with every song that’s being written and produced. She has visual concepts for just about every song. It’s already giving me the feel of a timeless album, and right now is her time.
Toya once said Rated R was gonna be a thriller and sell over 30 million copies.The fact is no album can replace Michael Jackson's thriller.Def Jam needs to stop giving false hope.
They're asking for bad luck just by saying that. I love Rihanna, she's in my top 3 females, but her label can't walk around saying that before the release. It's a big no-no!
I think all they mean by the Thriller comparison is that they want the songs to be hit potential from start to finish... GGGB was nearly perfect on that regard so thats a good sign for the sound of the new album already :heart:
^ Telephone wasn't everything it was hyped up to be. :-/
I'd love to see that happen, but if I had to choose, I'd like to see her work with Beyonce.
Thats because Beyonce and Gaga are the worst combo ever.
They vocals clash, and so do their personalities.
Put It In A Love Song is so much better, cause Alicia & Bey go better together.
Im sure a Rih/Gaga would do better than Telephone.
I love Rihanna, she's in my top 3 females, but her label can't walk around saying that before the release. It's a big no-no!
