Rihanna Defends New Album

Rihanna Defends New Album

Don't expect Rihanna to be singing extremely corny or super sentimental songs any time soon. The sexy star who poses completely naked except for a cropped leather jacket and strategically placed hands on one of GQ's Men of the Year covers gives a little insight into her brand new album, Unapologetic, and why her songs are not some lullaby’s kind of music.

"I want to make music that's hopeful, uplifting. Nothing corny or super sentimental," says Rihanna, who almost got a face tattoo the night before her photo shoot, but fortunately the artist refused. "I just want it to have the feeling that brings you out of whatever you're going through. I want it to spark that fire. I want it to be real, authentic, and raw."And the more X-rated, the better.

During the interview, she begins singing "Foreplay" by The-Dream in front of the rapper-producer.

"Bitch, f--k the foreplay/I want it now/We're talking straight sex/It's going down," she sings, as she turns against her hotel room bed.
"You need to write me that s--t," Rihanna, 24, half-jokingly shouts at The-Dream. "No pop s--t. None of that lovey-dovey s--t … It's gotta be tweet, retweet, trending topic!"
There's certainly none of that lovey-dovey matter between Rihanna and reported on-again boyfriend, Chris Brown. Brown collaborates with his maybe-girlfriend on a track called "Nobody's Business" that appears on Unapologetic.

Although Rihanna doesn't talk about Brown during the interview with GQ, she did reveal what turns her on in a relationship. "I like to feel like a woman," she explains. "I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead … Love makes you go places you probably wouldn't ever go, had it not been for love."
