Justin Timberlake is back in the studio nearly a year after aiding Rihanna with her last single “Rehab”. Confirming the news at Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards, Timberlake says his work with Rihanna has been more mature and edgy.
“The stuff we’ve come up with in the studio, it’s the next step for her. It’s a little more grown-up. It’s got some edge to it.”
UK Producers Chase & Status also talked about RiRi’s sense of direction.
“On one track she came up with some cool melodies and cool ideas, the kind of vibe she wanted. This album for her is just about what she likes and what she’s into and what she wants,” said Saul Milton, a.k.a. Chase.” When she doesn’t like something she’ll let you know. When she likes something she’ll let you know as well, Milton said. “If she’s not into the vibe she’ll be like, ‘Nope, I don’t think it’s for me.’ Or if something is a bit too bolshie [esoteric], she’s like, ‘That’s not what I’m trying to push right now. We just spent a lot of time with the writers and with her and she’s just a really cool girl, down to earth.”
Rihanna’s new album is currently set to drop on November 23rd. Via MTV
