Rihanna - Rihanna secures Prince song for album

by Bang Showbiz

Rihanna has secured a Prince track for her upcoming album and is considering performing the single at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday (25.02.15).

Rihanna has secured a Prince track for her album.

The 'FourFiveSeconds' singer is still putting together her eighth studio album and has snapped up a single penned by the iconic star for the collection, which she may debut at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday (25.02.15).

An industry insider revealed: ''Prince is among the most respected songwriters of all time but chooses his collaborators carefully.

''Rihanna is so chuffed he wants to work with her and is considering rushing a performance of the track into the Brits. She really wants the song to be a single.''

The annual ceremony - which will take place at London's O2 Arena - will feature performances from Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Madonna, but the Bajan beauty is yet to confirm whether she will sing at the event, or if she will collaborate with rapper Kanye West who will also be in attendance.

The source told The Sun newspaper: ''Kanye West is in London to film the Jonathan Ross show, which leaves the option of playing 'FourFiveSeconds' open, or she could do a medley. She's leaving the organisers sweating.''

Another source previously said: ''Brits bosses have wanted to get Rihanna for a long time, but they've been waiting for an answer.

''She has been finalising her album plans and wanted to get the Grammys out of the way before confirming a second performance.''

Meanwhile, the 'Diamonds' hitmaker celebrated her 27th birthday in Los Angeles on Friday (20.02.15) with guests including Beyonce, Mick Jagger, Naomi Campbell and new boyfriend Leonardo Dicaprio.

Rihanna is one very lucky and pretty lady. Imagine being picked by Prince to sing his music. WOW

Ok, first off. Does anyone know the track title?

Second. Is she dating Dicaprio? What happened to wife beater and when did it happened to him?

I haven't heard the song, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the track was bad and Rhianna wanted it anyway just because Prince's name is attatched. Prince could write a song for almost anybody and they would include it on the album, just because he is a legend. It's surprising that no music came out of the Beyonce/Prince friendship a few years ago. Hopefully it's a good song though and the beginning of better things for Prince.

Funny how that principled attitude disappeared when there was money to be made by getting a song on an album that will almost certainly sell a significant amount of copies.

.

Also, weren't the famz claiming that Prince doesn't care about the charts?

Rihanna's handlers have money. Prince probably has an extreme over abundance of unreleased music. Why would he turn the opportunity down to get more of it out there? As usual your comments aren't very logical.

Could be fun, especially if there's a video and she Princes her outfits.

As for the music, it's not going to be groundbreaking that's for sure.

I hope it's a big hit for her. However, going off of past collaborations, it's less than a 50 percent chance to be a hit. For having such great songs, Prince sure does avoid hits recently.

Will it be a "Manic Monday" success, or another "Love Song"?

Flop

I don't see how this is "selling out' in any way, shape or form. He was writing and giving away songs to other pop acts even during his 80s peak. How is doing it now any different? Seriously it's the same exact thing.

.

If Rihanna was somehow featured on one of Prince's albums, then THAT I would say was a sellout on Prince's part. I thought the same thing with all the guest stars on Rave - it was contrived, and some of them were so far buried in the mix it was hardly even worth it.

gave Rita Ora a HOT track, that still hasn't been released yet. He was very excited about it to. He even previewed it, at his highly, anticipated, A.O.A/P.E. release party.

Maybe with Rihanna's no nonsense attitude, she will demand not to do anything, unless 's hot track, becomes the first single...Maybe it's the same one he gave Rita!

One would hope that Rihanna would get the song and do her thing with it . . . too often with Prince's songs, the singer tries to imitate how Prince would sing it instead of putting their own spin on it. An obvious exception to this was Sinead O'Connor. She put her stamp on it and nailed it.

.

I will say this though: Rihanna's songs all tend to sound alike in terms of production, so in that sense alone it will sound modern on the charts. It will most likely not be a pre-recorded Prince song with Rihanna vocals.

I'm sorry, but more and more i find myself agreeing with Bart. This is the worst Prince era ever. He's embarrassing himself whilst, for example, his "once" new rival, D'angelo is out there fuckin' killing it! Such a shame.

Rihanna's production on her tracks has been outstanding. It would be great to hear what today's Prince sounds like with decent production.

[Edited 2/23/15 16:31pm]

I wonder if he'll perform on it at all (even just an instrumental part) and get a featured credit? Thanks to a bit of simple guitar work on "FourFiveSeconds" Paul McCartney is credited as a featured performer and now has his first top ten solo hit since 1986. Rihanna seems interested in having legends featured and credited on her singles.

.

Prince may finally snag that 20th top ten pop hit after all...

D'angelo puts out one album in 14 years and he is "killing it"? ROFL

Agreed. It will be great to hear.

No way JW sits this one out. It's got to be a JW beat with Prince lyrics, bass and guitar. They are joined at the hip. They are Tricky and Christopher running through chicks on the Riviera, only it's pop starlets and tracks. Seriously, I think Prince is determined to get JW some credibility. This could be good.

No. D puts out a killer album that's getting more critical acclaim than the past 20 years of Prince releases combined AND is in the middle of a tour that smokes the fuck outta 3EG.

Then why don't U ALL do me a favor? Start a D'angelo.org, ACCOUNT and CLOSE ALL your accounts here NOW?

I think it's a good idea for Prince to write songs for "hot",young artists.It means that his songs will actually be heard by the mainstream.He should send some songs to Bruno Mars,too.Many of these artists are huge fans of his and would never turn down a new song from him.

The blurb only mentions that Prince wrote the song. It'll be interesting to find out who produced the song if Prince didn't produce it-Joshua Welton or someone an A&R from Def Jam commissioned to produce the track.

Rihanna can't sing a lick without the aid of AUTO-tunes. Why Prince would choose to give her a song is beyond comprehension.

you may be right,but since when has Prince ever cared about a female artist's vocal abilities?
