Rihanna has found a winning formula in her Eminem collaboration, "Love the Way You Lie." Naturally, for her next album, she's reportedly looking to the song's producer, Alex Da Kid, for new hits.
"We worked together about a year before 'Love the Way You Lie' in London, and obviously that song has helped the people around her and her label say, 'Oh, that's a big hit, we want another one,' " Alex explained to Billboard. "You know how the music industry is."
The "Lie" producer — who also produced B.o.B's "Airplanes" — said that the key to Rihanna's future success is all about finding the balance between Rated R edginess and the hit-making sound of the Eminem track. "I'd say it's like a mixture of her two sides," he said. "It's commercial, but at the same time, it's got an edge to it — it has substance."
Alex Da Kid isn't the only producer coming onboard for the album. Songwriter Sean Garrett has been in the studio with the Barbadian star and recently told MTV News that the new songs will reflect Rihanna's current, lighter state-of-mind. "I can definitely say that her album is definitely gonna be way more exciting, happy," Garrett said. "I hope she doesn't mind me saying this. I love Rihanna. She's fun, she's like a sister, and I tend to think she doesn't really take herself too seriously. And I think that's what this album is gonna be about."
The album will earn fans in the clubs too, if David Guetta has his way with it. "Well, you know, I'm a DJ, so I make beats that make you want to dance," Guetta told MTV News. "And I think she was one of the first to do that in that urban world, so you know, I think it would be good for her to do it again."
