Since Rihanna's label can't make good decisions I guess I'll have to


Above is the shoddy artwork for the below-mediocre third single from Rihanna's above-fantastic album Talk That Talk. The single might not be that bad if only Jay-Z hadn't butted himself into it. It was alright in "Umbrella," but it just doesn't work here.

So as Def Jam can't seem to choose good singles (apart from the pre-album singles of course, I live for "We Found Love" and "You Da One") I've taken the liberty of outlining what the album campaign should look like. Enjoy, and post your comments and opinions below.

Fourth Single: "Where Have You Been" - March 2012


This singles campaign has been great so far, but this song would just take this album's appeal to a whole new level. Surprised this hasn't already been released! I also love this fanmade artwork, so classic Rih!

Fifth Single: "Birthday Cake" - late June/early July 2012


While she has yet to release a full version, this one-minute-and-a-half track is amazing. Rihanna at her best. Not typical radio tunes, but then again is Rihanna typical? No.

Sixth Single: "Red Lipstick" - December 2012


Who says bonus tracks can't be singles? Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj did it! This dubstep-y track would be perfect later in the year when dubstep has become more prominent in the airwaves. Not to mention the lyrics!

Seventh Single: "Roc Me Out" - February/March 2013


I'm a firm believer in leaving the rest for last, thus this song will be the last single. You wanna go out with a bang (get it?) and "Roc Me Out" will give it to you. By far one of the highlights of the album, this track simply   must be a single. It's begging!

As you can see, I'm going for a long single run. Seven singles is a lot, but look at the single run for Good Girl Gone Bad. Hopefully we'll get a RihRelease! Maybe not though...

But if we did get one, what do you predict it would be called? I'm putting my money on Talk That Talk: All  Night Edition.
