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.

Coldplay release Rihanna-assisted single "Princess Of China," remain legendary while doing so




As you may have recently noticed, radio listeners, Coldplay's latest album "Mylo Xyloto" has become quite the hit spawner. "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" did really good, but "Paradise" is doing even better. Wanna know why? Because the boys finally went pop.

Their newest record features their most radio-friendly tunes ever.Among them the beautiful "Princess of China" featuring vocals by none other than Rihanna herself. (That Rihanna reign just won't let up).

"Princes of China" is scheduled for release on Feb. 14, Valentine's Day. Quite tragic, when you really think of it. The song features Rihanna and Chris Martin reflecting over a love that could have been so great, but something along the way changed that, and everything went awry.

"Could've been a princess, you'd be the king / Could've had a castle and worn a ring / but no / you let me go" Rihanna aka the Princess of China (Don't ask me why in the world it's China) sings in the song's nostalgic chorus.

This song has about as many synthesizers as Demi Lovato's standout track "Unbroken" and that's saying something for anybody, but especially for an alt-rock band.

The amazing song closes with a hurt-sounding Chris Martin and Rihanna repeating "'Cause you really hurt me / Yeah, you really hurt me."

The best part of the song, though, might even be the delicious, anthemic "oh oh oh ohhhhhs" found in the son'g intro. Just. So. Good!

"Paradise" was amazing and all but this song is just next level ish!

What do you think of Coldplay's latest single? Comments greatly appreciated!

"Princess of China" will be released on Feb. 14 for radio airplay.
