No.
Katy once said in an interview about Teenage Dream that her label called her one day and told her "It's time to become a Pop star again" aka to start recording a new album.
Once you sign the contract, you can't do nothing. You must do anything your label say, and if you refuse they'll probably sue
you due to contract breach. Or the artist can sue the label; but why would they?
Rihanna is recording a new album because her label wants to, not because she want to. End of the case.
