Rihanna’s new dance single “Only Girl” coming soon.

The first bit of information regarding Rihanna’s brand new single has arrived, courtesy of the reliable Def Pen Radio. According to their reports, the lead single from RiRi’s new album is titled “Only Girl”, and will be a dance track.

“Looks like no more dark music, back to Umbrella Rihanna” from our source who heard the dance track. There is no set date for when Only Girl will be released… [source]

It shouldn’t be too long now, since Rihanna’s label, SRP, recently tweeted that the single was on it’s way, while warning us to “get ready to dance”. I’m just curious to know if it’s dancey in the “Rude Boy” way, or dancey in the “Guetta/RedOne” type of way. Regardless, Rihanna always brings the hits so this should be one to watch out for.

    @Christopher
    please Katy Perry is unstoppable now, so Rihanna might see her new single blocked from being a success by her very best friend Katy, remember Firework is 3rd single and it’s a certified smash

    Rated R was amazing. Absolutely nothing to play with.

    I don’t know when it became popular opinion that there is something “wrong” with that album. It’s her most emotional and cohesive volume of material to date. For reals.

    I also don’t know why all the same people who want to talk sh!t on that album are the main ones singing “Cold Case Love” and steadily quoting “G4L” and “Photographs”. SMH.

    Whatevs.

    That Rihanna reign. Deal with it.

    I def wouldn’t say there was ANYTHING wrong with Rated R. Most critics gave it 4-5 stars and several of them put it in their top 10 lists, which is pretty unheard of for a pop artist like her. The album did well ~3 mill WW; RB was a #1, RR was a hit in europe, Hard in the US. Overall, a solid era commercially – although with some slightly different marketing moves it could’ve been much bigger – sure.

    All that being said, people want dance Rihanna. Yes, Rihanna can do dark dubstep voodoo~* all she wants whatevv, but part of her appeal has always been the dance tracks. FROM THE BEGINNING.

    So i’m glad we’re seeing that again. I don’t view it as a back-track as Rihanna hasn’t dismissed what she did on GGGB but rather just didn’t include it in Rated R. Artists can exclude sounds from their albums without removing it from who they are. Esp considering what Rated R was supposed to be in terms of what she wanted to say.

    Is this the david guetta rumored single?

  • JayCred

    Possibly Jawon, here’s the clip which is currently titled Adrenaline Rush which Guetta played on a French radio station as an exclusive clip.

    It could turn out to the that though, cause we haven’t heard the chorus or anything yet.

    I’m looking forward to new music though.

    damn, too bad she’s coming back to dance shit..I love so much Rated R and that dark-rockey side of her..I hope at least try some dance-rock like Shut Up And Drive, she have a good image to be a rock-pop singer and I love her as that..and I also hope the song with Tyler from The All-American Rejects be in this record, maybe was too happy for it and don’t include it…I don’t know what to expect after and amazing album like Rated R that in my opinion is better than Umbrella and GGGB “Looks like no more dark music, back to Umbrella Rihanna” fucking discographic what a hell is wrong with put some emotion and darkness to a record? fuck them RATED R 4 LIFE.

    Anyway I hope this will be like “Breakin’ Dishers”, “Disturbia” and “Shut Up And Drive”..before all the emotional problems and the dark direction of the album the albums originaly was going to be like those songs electro-sythpop-pop-rock album I listen her to say that it was going to be and I hope this will be that one…cause that’s are the best songs in GGGB (exept for “Question Existing” and “Rehab”..that’s other kind of good song is more Rated R level) but well Alex Da Kid have to come out with some emotionals alternative hip hop tracks since he do “Airplanes” and “Love The Way You Lie” and I say emotional out from the fucking tired beat from Tricky-The-Dream-Ne-Yo-Stargate.

    @Rick she was dance before..but not the stupid kind of dance music of now, she was dancehall and reggae influended pop music..so not dance until GGGB and S.O.S.

    don’t like the title. sounds boring.

    song will probably be hot though!

    Rated R sucked so bad, and although it did OK, I don’t think it did as well as her label hoped, thus the quick move to her next album. Her label isn’t pimping out Rated R like they did to GGGB.

  • Sorce

    Sigh…I have tried. I have really tried but Rihanna’s red hair and cut combined kills me.

    Personally, I loved Rated R. It was a nice change of pace and something definitely needed in this push for everyone to produce dance music. I think there is enough of that out there.

    I am curious to see what Rihanna comes up with next. I am a bit disappointed she is going back to the dance route but have faith she will bring something fierce to the table.

    personally i think its too late for rihanna to comeback to dance/pop..katy, gaga etc have already taken her spot..i dnt think the new single will do anything for her that rated didnt do!! she will get airplay blah blah but when it comes to sales she wont get anywhere close to her counterparts!!

  • BAM.

    Rihanna is back for the KILLING!!!

    August 31st bitches watch ya backs!

  • jawon (juju)

    Singles wise, rihanna will do extremely good, so no worries! She always puts her stamp on it so im sure it will stand out, and not get lost in the mix, im ready for a more fun rihanna oppose to the “hard era”, although I think Rated R album was a very good cohesive piece of work!

  • iamAWESOME

    u rihanna fans are acting just like christina fans right before “bionic” dropped, good luck with that attitude. :P LOL

  • Yumm

    I’m excited for this because I hated Rated R so much it really sucked and Rihanna almost lost me as a fan with that junk…….but the direction of this new album gives me hope!

  • matt

    OMG this title sucks. It’s her third album with the word “Girl” in the title. Jeez
