RIHANNA DABBLES INTO S&M, SAMPLES AVRIL LAVIGNE ON NEW ALBUM



After marching through the fiery pits of hell with Rated R, and giving fans a first look at her new album cover yesterday, America's favorite studio singer Raggedy Ann Fenty allowed website Just Jared to listen to her new album at Island Def Jam's heaquarters. Out of the nine tracks they got to preview (listed below), stand-outs include a new uptempo song (and future gay anthem) called "Raining Men" that features a wacky 16 from femcee of the moment Nicki Minaj.  “There isn’t much of a chorus, but the song features a variation of the popular children’s phrase ‘eenie meenie miney mo,’” writes Jared.

Other stand-outs include the catchy and what was rumored to be the first official single (before they went with Only Girl) “Cheers,” which samples Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You,” a sassy, horned up club banger called “S&M,” the second single “What’s My Name,” and the ballad “Fading Away,” which critics are saying is about her  relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Just because the tracks Just Jared heard are listed, doesn't mean these will be the final tracks that make the album. The song she just did with Drake isn't listed, and I know her album will be longer than nine songs. Check out the other songs and a description of the tracks below:

“S&M” - It’s definitely a club banger and the naughtiest song of all! Here are some of the sample lyrics as best I heard them: “I may be bad but I’m perfectly good… There’s sex in the air. I don’t care, I love the smell of it… Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me. I like it, come on, come on.”


“Only Girl (In The World)”: The whole room was dancing along! During the lyrics “hold me like a pillow,” L.A. hugged himself like a pillow, too. Funny moment!

“What’s My Name?” - It’s the second single off of Loud - listen to a bit of the track here! “Oh nah nah, what’s my name? …Hey boy, I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me. Oh boy, I wanna really be with you, you’re just my type… You’re so amazing, you took the time to figure me out..”

“Cheers” - The song samples Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You” and is so unbelievably catchy! Avril’s “yeahh, yeahh, yeahhh, yeahhh” are prevalent throughout. This song will be so huge in clubs, bars, and everywhere that serves alcohol. Everybody will be raising a glass! Sample lyrics: “Turn it around with a dollar round, there’s a party at the bar everybody put your glasses up… Cheers to the freakin weekend, I drink to that. Everybody put your glasses up. Don’t let the bastards get you down… Drinks on my mind and my mind on my money.”

“California King (Bed)” - A beautiful ballad! Lyrics include: “nose to nose, palm to palm, wrist to wrist, toe to toe…Feels like more than distance between us. In this California king bed, we’re 10,000 miles apart. I’ll be California wishing on the stars, my California king.” It’s L.A.’s favorite song off the album!

“Raining Men” - The fast and uptempo song features Nicki Minaj! There isn’t much of a chorus, but the song features a variation of the popular children’s phrase “eenie meenie miney mo”.

“Who’s That Chick” - Used for a Doritos ad - read more about the song here. There are two videos for this track!

“Fading Away” - A beautiful ballad that likely references her relationship with Chris Brown. The song includes the lines, “Ready for change, baby, Open up my eyes and finally realize you’re fading away. Too late… Running your mouth. So fed up, don’t press your luck today. What’s a girl to do when she’s crying inside?”

“Man Down” - The song starts off with sirens and sounds like a metaphor for deadening a relationship. Lyrics include: “I pulled out my gun… Ra pum pum pum pum. Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down in central station. Never thought I’d do it. Whatever ever happened to me. Why did I pull the trigger. What am I gonna do?”
