Rihanna Unveils Artwork For Next Single....
There's no turning back now! Singer Rihanna confirmed the title of her next single, the third, from the 'Talk That Talk' album by posting a photo of the official single artwork this morning (January 11th) via her Twitter account...and the winner was indeed the title track, 'Talk That Talk', featuring new father, Jay-Z! Created by Norwegian record producing team Stargate, 'TTT' is a solid joint, with a hard drums/dirty synths production, and a slow, sultry singing by Rihanna. Do I like the single choice? Of course not, because as everyone else, I was too expecting Riri to release 'Where You Have Been' and slay the world with it. But I guess she's keeping it as her ace card for later on this era. 'Talk That Talk' is a good song, but if the Bajan beauty was looking for a new #1 hit, I don't think she'll find that in the Jay-Z collabo'. It just doesn't scream NUMERO 1 to me. A high-budget, too awesome vid could change my opinion, so we'll see.
As for the recently-unveiled single cover, it's another picture from the album gritty black-and-white photoshoot. I like it. I wonder if Rihanna plans to move on directly with 'Talk That Talk' now, or if she plans to actually promote 'You Da One'. Her catchy second single is doing good, not AS amazing as 'WFL', but I just think it needs that key TV promo, considering the low-budget MV didn't help at all.
