Are Rihanna and N.E.R.D. About to Release a Song Together?
All sources point to yes...
Rihanna may not have released an album this year but she's still been everywhere. Not only was her hit DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller collaboration 'Wild Thoughts' one of the songs of the summer but she also launched her own beauty range: Fenty Beauty.
Now it looks like the superstar is releasing a collaboration with Pharrell William's group N.E.R.D. today.
Kiss it, kiss it better, baby
Been waiting on that sunshine
Boy, I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell, had to take me back
Who cares when it feels like crack?
Boy you know that you always do it right
Man, fuck your pride, just take it on back, boy
Take it on back boy, take it back all night
Just take it on back, take it on back
Mmm, do what you gotta do, keep me up all night
Hurting bad man, and it hurts inside when I look you in your eye
What are you willing to do?
Oh, tell me what you're willing to do?
Kiss it, kiss it better, baby

YES WE MIGHT BE BLESSED WITH A NEW RIHANNA SINGLE IN A MERE MATTER OF HOURS!
Rumours about the collaboration first surfaced earlier in the year but they went into overdrive yesterday when Pharrell took to Twitter to tease a huge announcement. The 'Happy' hitmaker simply wrote: "Turn on [Beats 1] tomorrow at 9a PT / noon ET."
While Pharrell doesn't mention RiRi in this statement, it didn't take long for fans to do some digging.
According to Rihanna News, a fan account of the 'Kiss It Better' star, Rihanna was seen on the set of a N.E.R.D. music video single recently so there's every chance that Pharrell could be debuting a new Rihanna collaboration on Beats 1 later today.
If so this will be N.E.R.D.'s first official single together since they released 'Hypnotize U' in 2010.
The band also recorded some songs for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water in 2015.
Fingers crossed that the RiRi collaboration is out this afternoon.
We'll be tuning in to Beats 1 at 16:00 (GMT) to find out if it is.
