Def Jam recording artist Rihanna will debut her new single, "Umbrella" featuring Jay-Z, today at 5 pm ET. The C. Tricky Stewart-produced track is the first single from the singer's as-yet-untitled third album, due June 5.

The album is the follow-up to Rihanna's sophomore set, "A Girl Like Me," which featured hits like "S.O.S." and the Ne-Yo-penned "Unfaithful." The album, which reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, earned the Barbados-bred singer four top honors at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, including female artist of the year and female pop artist of the year.

Rihanna's 2005 debut, "Music of the Sun," peaked at No. 6 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and featured tracks like "Pon De Replay," which topped out at No. 2 on the Pop 100.

Head over to Rihanna's Official Site at 5:00pm [ET] to hear the new single featuring Jay-Z!

[Semáforo]

After the first listen, I think it's okay. Possibly a grower, but it's nowhere near as strong of a first single as Pon De Replay or S.O.S. were.

[Shane!]

Yep, agreee.

[M Z N A]

What the hell was that? When I just thought that it couldn't get worse than S.O.S. This song is the worst of all time.She sounds like a dying cat. "Good Girl Gone Bad" ?!! How Desperate!

She's pathetic. The fact that whenever her singles start to flop she thinks about new album is hilarious. She seriously needs to stop sucking J's c*** and go away.

[Adrian]

Under My Umbrella Ella Ella Ella hahaha JAM OF THE YEAR!

[R`0`K`R]

I don't like it.

[xHoSaIdx]

This is so good. Another smash hit.

[Adrian]

WHen I was listening to it for the first time I was like WTFFFFFF this song is so horrible, but now after the 4th spin I'm TOTALLY in love with this song. I hope it becomes one of those biggest hits of the year like "S.O.S." (2006) and "Pon De Replay" (2006).

[Tibbits]

Oh my, this song is BAD. Just LISTEN to this girl say "umbrella" and all those 'eys' that come after it.

[LONGWAY2GO.]

[Exodus]
