Rihanna has revealed that she has started work on her new album.


The singer only released her last studio project Talk That Talk
in November last year but, in an interview with Capital FM, she said
she had already begun sketching out the early stages of her next
record.

She said:

''I'm definitely thinking about the
next record. I'm a multi-tasker. Right now we're working on collecting
and creating the sound first before we even start working on the lyrical
direction or melodies. I kind of have an idea though, and it's very
rough right now. So I'm eager to start that.''

Earlier this week , Rihanna shrugged off
criticism that she was a bad role model for young women, and insisted
that she wouldn't tone down her racy image or controversial videos
because it would compromise her art.

She previously came under fire from singer Will Young,
who said her lyrics were "not empowering" for young women, while the
video for her single ''We Found Love'' was described as a "disgrace" by anti-rape campaigners after it showed her being spanked by male model Dudley O'Shaughnessy. Pressure groups also called for the video for her single ''Man Down'' to be banned after they claimed it promoted murder.
