New Rihanna Single On The way?

Robyn Rihanna Fenty formally known simply as Rihanna has become, in the space of five years, a worldwide chart topping success and with four albums under her belt it seems that she has no intention of slowing down. Having only released her fourth studio album Rated R nine months ago she has returned to the studio to finish up her forthcoming as yet untitled album. Sources close to the singer have hinted that a new single from this album is to drop sooner than we may expect. More after the cut.

The sources took to twitter to drop some quite unsubtle hints surrounding this new single.

Her record label tweeted

Get ready to dance@rihanna peeps…

And one of her most reliable fansite’s also took the time to tweet

Rihanna’s new single is coming “very soon”

I don’t know about you but I do think that this is mighty quick considering her latest singles Te Amo (international) and Rockstar 101 (US release) were both only released in June. sales of the album rated r were not as high as expected so moving swift on from that album could be a good idea however I don’t think her label have given fans enough time to miss the Rude Boy singer.

She has tour dates for her latest tour running all the way into the next year so if she was to release a new album anytime soon I fear a major burnout is looming. She would literally be finishing one tour only to start a new one straight away. I believe I’ve said this before but I’m going to say it again, sometimes too much exposure can be an artists’ downfall.

Mariah Carey To Release Christmas Album In November.

Mariah Carey has one of the most successful Christmas albums of all time under her belt but she still feels the need to release another. Having sold over 12 million copies of her 1994 release it is rather difficult to imagine those figures can be matched especially considering the below par sales performances of her last two albums.

In any case as a Mariah Carey admirer I am intrigued to see what she will come up with this time around. Hopefully she can bring that old Mariah magic she had back in the day now that she is once again working with Randy Jackson and Jermaine Dupri. We can expect the album to be release November 1st.

Travis Baker To release Solo Record

Travis Barker also known as the drummer from Blink 182 is said to be working on a all new solo project. After surviving a plane crash that killed four others, Barker is now fully healed and ready to get his music career on track.

The new project due for release this October will take a drastic change of direction from his Blink 182 days. With collaborations with Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I, Pharrell Williams, Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross it will be interesting to see how the mix of talents will come together on this record. Although not a huge fan of Blink 182 I am definitely intrigued.

T.I Pushes Album Release Back

Speaking to Rap-TV T.I. The King of the South stated that his new album, ‘King Uncaged’, has been pushed back once again and will no longer be released on September 28th. Peep what Tip had to say about ‘King Uncaged’ below:
