You may want to call Rihanna one of the hardest working women in show business. Her new single “Diamonds” premiered online on Wednesday (Sept. 26) and the still-untitled album drops before the end of 2012.
Produced by longtime collaborators Stargate as well as Benny Blanco, “Diamonds” notably slows the electronic stomp of previous lead singles “Only Girl (In The World)” and “We Found Love,” instead offering a lush, mid-tempo pool of synthesizers and Rihanna’s powerful pipes. Yes, its a change from the Rihanna we are used to.
This will be Ri Ri’s seventh studio album and third straight November release — “Rated R” in 2009, “Loud” in 2010 and “Talk That Talk” last year.
And not to mention she will be embarking on her “Diamonds” world tour, which kicks off on March 8, 2013 in Buffalo, N.Y.
