RIHANNA REPORTEDLY WORKING ON DANCEHALL ALBUM – (07/20/2018)

Looks like Rihanna might actually be cooking up a dancehall album. According to Rap-Up, Rolling Stone has spoken with eight sources who confirmed that Rih and her label, Roc Nation, have been scouting beats to complete an album that “explores her Caribbean roots.” 

One dancehall producer told the publication, “[Rihanna’s team] have, no lie, 500 records for this project [from] different producers and writers. They’re only choosing 10 records. They’ve been having writing camps and trying to keep them quiet for almost a year and a half now. I’ve been flying to Miami, flying to L.A., cutting records nonstop for this project” 

Another source close to the album said, “Every artist, every producer, every songwriter in Jamaica or of Jamaican descent has been working on [Rihanna’s album] and has little snippets of publishing or production credits on it. I think they’ve got eight songs, but her A&R is still asking for records.” A third source added, “They’re looking for one more [song].” 

Meanwhile, two sources also said that Rihanna is simultaneously working on a pop album with the likes of Boi-1da and Skrillex.

• A different producer expressed concern over the dancehall album, saying, “Their whole thing was, ‘Yo, we’re gonna make this [album] real dancehall, [real] Caribbean.’ Rihanna is Bajan, so let’s make this a full project like that. To me, it hasn’t been going that way. They’re kind of mixing it up, putting in the pop. If the reggae artists and producers won’t get the chance on the pop album, at least let us survive on the dancehall album. They’re changing up the direction continuously.” 
• According to Rap-Up, the list of potential collaborators includes “R. City (Rihanna, Beyoncé), Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor (Vybz Kartel, Sean Paul), Linton ‘TJ Records’ White (Serani, Vybz Kartel), Ricky Blaze (Gyptian), Tyshane ‘Beam’ Thompson (Yo Gotti, Lecrae), Kranium and Chronixx.” Vogue also noted that veteran dancehall producer Supa Dups (Drake’s ‘Controlla’ and ‘Too Good’) is working on the project.
