She should write some songs with Gagz. 

Meghan Trainor actually outright said that she would LOVE to write songs for Rihanna, I'm sure she could do something successful for Rihanna if only she asked her.

I actually love BBHMM

I can't stop boping to it

I pulled my bussy squatting too hard to it at the gym

As long as she drops R8 in the next three months...

ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

Meghan could make her sound like early 60's Diana Ross singing with the Supremes. That might be more interesting than what the songwriting sweatshop comes up with.

i doubt she's that desperate, shes on vacation 24/7 these days anyway.

She was at the dentist yesterday then she sang at the wedding of one of her friends (while looking AMAZING btw) so yeah, she's doing okay

It's ironic because BBHMM was intended to be controversial and modern in the hopes of getting a hit and now she's looking at other ways of doing the same thing. Looks like this album is going to be Rihanna's Bionic in the sense that it once resembled something very different from what was eventually released to the public. As the album gets pushed back month after month, it's becoming clearer that we'll never find out what the original conception of R8 was. I hated 45S, loved AO and the snippet of Higher and that Only If For A Night snippet sounded promising too. And unbelievably, BBHMM grew on me incredibly. So, the only track I wasn't keen on in the end was 45S. In short, this actually looked like a really promising era. But then the label got scared by its underperformance and as time has gone on, you can tell this album has been chopped and changed dramatically. Rihanna's people are used to cranking out an album in just 8 months. So, factor in Rihanna's break up until the January release of 45S - that's 26 months. That's enough time for her team to have made 3 albums. Now factor in the delayed release from January to present - that's 7 months. 7 months is certainly long enough by their standards to have crafted a complete album, never mind changing an existing body of work. Overall, her team have been working on this album for 33 months and it's still nowhere in sight. This is bad, real bad. They just need to release it and don't worry about the sales. It should be looked at as a grand experiment that went horribly wrong and not to be spoken of again. But you have to give the fans what they want after all this time. You can't remove singles off the album when the fans loved them regardless of how they performed - it really decreases respect.

All this makes me realise how Roc Nation doesn't value Rihanna. This delay is basically them saying: "If you're no longer a hit machine, what's the point of you?" Makes me glad that Interscope believe in Gaga enough to have released ARTPOP even though they likely saw its underperformance coming a mile off. She even got a tour out of it. Whatever happens, I don't know how Rihanna's going to recover from this. Even starring in an animated kids movie, which was supposed to help her comeback enormously, didn't pull in the mega bucks of Minions or Inside Out (and there's at least 3 other animations coming up that'll outsell it). This long break plus poorly receved songs plus a likely flop album means she won't be able to put out an album the following year with the same success rate of old. She's got to realise she's being seen as a different artist these days - she's no longer the fun pop/urban diva who makes hits for the young. The public are now viewing her music as more serious, an act who is no longer hopping on current trends, an act aiming for a different alternative adult audience. And now that perception is in the public's mind, it's not going to go away any time soon. Once you've gone the "artistic" route, there's really no going back.

BBHMM was amazing though. Sucks Rihanna cares about the charts and not the quality.

You must listen to urban or rhythmic radio. I've only heard 45 seconds on Pop/HAC in Canada. 

I don't listen to the radio except at the gym, so it makes sense that I only hear upbeat songs. However, my sister listens to the radio a lot and I've heard BBHMM so much, especially recently. I don't understand how it's a flop because a lot of people quote it too  :duck:
