That was fast.

Sounds like Rihanna is pretty much done with Rated R, her follow up to 2007′s mega-selling Good Girl Gone Bad, if the rumours swirling around the singer are to be believed.

While the album has done fairly well, none of the singles off of it, Russian Roulette, So Hard, and Rude Boy (said to be the last one now) have been break-out hits like Umbrella, Shut Up and Drive, Don’t Stop the Music and Disturbia. 

Apparently, record label Def Jam isn’t happy with the return on their investment in the project and want the singer to start on a new one. 

This makes sense, in that anything Rhianna put out post “incident” was almost certainly destined to be over-shadowed by it.  Now that all that unpleasantness is out of the way, it’s back to business as usual for the singer.  Here’s hoping Rihanna refuses to discuss the matter any more, otherwise she’ll be forever associated with it. 

Word is Rihanna will start work on a new album as soon as her promotion for Rated R ends.  She’ll supposedly be working with David Guetta and the new material (said to be more upbeat and dance orientated) may even be out by this summer.
