No One Panic But Rihanna Is Working On Her New Album
And Diplo's hoping to get in on this one...
Rihanna and Diplo made headlines just a few weeks ago after the producer revealed the Bajan superstar rejected his music... twice, but things might be turning around for him.
In a new interview with iHeartRadio, Diplo cleared up the controversy - it's all love! - and let slip some MAJOR news about Rihanna's current day-to-day.

Is she designing the next Puma collection? Filming another movie? Maybe taking a well-deserved break? Wrong, wrong, and so very wrong!
Album number nine is coming, Navy.
IT'S REALLY HAPPENING. THE QUEEN IS ABOUT TO RIH-TURN.
Diplo's actual words were, "We talked a little bit because she's writing a lot of new music right now for her next project and, hopefully, we can connect."
That's nice and all, Dip, but we're a bit busy screaming over the news that Rihanna is currently WRITING FOR HER NEW ALBUM.
The 'Wild Thoughts' singer has barely been away from the charts but it's been 20 months since she dropped her last album, the still-fresh and timeless Anti, and that's just 20 months too long for us.
After dropping four albums in three years between 2009 and 2012, Rihanna kept fans waiting the same amount of time for Anti, so we're hoping this means the next one will come quicker.
The Major Lazer producer knows better than to give away exact details of a pop queen's music, although he did hint about the reggae direction of the album.
"I know that we both have the same affinity for dancehall and reggae and things like that. I know she knows she's a fan of our [Major Lazer's] music."
And will their beats be good enough this time? "You always gotta to be on your toes and work harder and she made me feel that way and I love her to death."
Sounds like this might be the perfect time...
