♫ NEW MUSIC: RIHANNA & CHRIS BROWN - “BAD GIRL”
Posted: January 6th, 2009, 6:22am PST by BRIAN
♫ RIHANNA FEAT. CHRIS BROWN - BAD GIRL ♫
2008’s “It” couple, Rihanna and Chris Brown teamed with Polow Da Don for this new song, “Bad Girl,” which definitely doesn’t seem to fall into the bracket of material that Rihanna described for her new album. In recent interviews, Rihanna said that she was going for a edgier rock sound (think “Disturbia”) for the fourth studio, but we’ll see.
Rihanna is actually re-re-releasing Good Girl Gone Bad, but it will be a remixes version. Maybe we’re jumping the gun, because it’s been reported that this isn’t even the finished product of this song, but I’m hoping that this isn’t what Rihanna is serving up for the new album.
