The MoMo Show

Confirmation came through today that Rihanna has cancelled her untitled new album. Reasons around why the cancellation is still minimum with Rihanna still trying to push “Te Amo” and “RockStar 101” in the charts her attentions being drawn to her tour (which so far has been more successful in Europe rather than the states).

According to an Island Def Jam press release Rihanna was meant to be working on an “informal” project whilst on tour and had been booked to hit the studios when she’d arrive home in New York; however all of those studio sessions have been cancelled when sources told us that Rihanna will be cancelling the new album. This is a real shame; Rihanna could of used this LP to boost her status in the market; with “Rated R” selling sort of 1.6 million another hit album could of done much more for her career. Yet again this highlights disputes with the UMG label – with increasing pressures of Island Def Jam’s CEO L.A Reid who was held responsible for the “failing” projects of acts on the label.  Disappointing as it may seem maybe Rihanna has come to the end of her creative cycle; she said that “Rated R” was reflection of her life currently (referring to the Chris Brown indecent) so maybe we could expect another “Music of the Sun” album?

Well it’ no secreat that Rihanna has some issues going on at home; which is shown through her music (sad times) and maybe a break is well deserved; after all it’s been roller-coaster of two years for her – who knows maybe Rihanna might just leave Island Def Jam.
