@Jordyn, I know it will be amazing. Emeli is superb and so is the Queen of Pop: Rihanna.

@Jordyn, she cowrites some songs but most are sent to her by different writers. If she wrote all her own music she would not be able to keep up with herself releasing an album every year.

@Minajerism, She would be able to. Writing songs doesn’t take that long, and many artists write heavily on their albums. I think maybe that’s just not her strong point.

@Speak, i meant like she wouldn’t be able to keep up with herself since shes not considered a writer. If she was a full on writer then of course she would.

@Speak, No, she definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up. Song writers(artists) need inspiration. It can take a while for creative juices to flow.

@Jordyn, Rihanna is a recording artist, not a fukin song writer. Have you ever thought maybe she doesn’t write becuz she can’t. She has no problem giving her team credit for their hard work ok like others who pretend to write and steal credits, or tries to write I end up with shitty material.

@Jordyn, Don’t be intimidated by ‘Meme.’ It’s a troll who actually refers to Rihanna as ‘God.’ Mentally ill, I think, just like that MinajRules bitch.

Emeli Sande is the TRUTH. I don’t get why she isn’t successful in the U.S.!? I bought her album the day it came out last June and have had it on repeat since. She’s a strong songwriter too so I’m sure the song she penned for Rihanna will be dope.

All those big writers want to hand songs to Rihanna and that’s because they know if they hand it to HER it will be a HUGE hit, haters take notes for your floppy faves.

And no, she don’t write must of her songs, yet she’s capable of though, check the Rated R credits and see Robyn Fenty all over the place. So don’t be hating on her.

beyonce pays the writers off and takes song-writing credit without writing. at least rihanna is honest

@me, or her daddy would steal songs for her with the co-writer while trying to cut out the actual artist involved in writing the song for themselves.

*looks at If I Were A Boy*

rihanna doesn’t write much, but i give credit because whenever an album comes out she drips praises to her producers and songwriters and always congratulates as team rather than solo. Most artists dont do that because they like the idea of being the absolute “artist” where at the same time they’re claiming to write songs that they didn’t write…

i love beyonce but she is who im mainly speaking about ;lol

This is an interesting pairing because I don’t view them as similar artists. I can’t wait to hear it though.
