Rihanna is one of the reasons behind making EDM and pop collaborations, a thing. Her sultry voice blends perfectly with dance music beats and has given us hits like We found love, This is what you came for, Transmission and many more. It’s been some time since we’ve heard her name with any EDM act  ( after her little beef with Diplo ) but that’s about to change.

Rihanna is reportedly working on her upcoming album titledR9 and she’s gathering all her producer mates to make it bigger than ever. Talking to The Daily Star, Alesso reportedly said Rihanna is working on her next album with some of his producer pals including Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and Diplo. It sounds like her ninth album, currently known as R9, is going to be totally stacked.

Alesso quoted,

“I’ve heard she wants to take over the dance music charts, we have some mutual friends, so we’ll see what happens with that. She has the voice that fits on any record, she makes every record sound great. Whether dance, house, ballad, Rihanna can do it all. It will be great.”

As for Diplo, he made no secret he would love to work with Rihanna one day. He previously admitted that ‘Lean On’ was offered to both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, but eventually was given to MØ when both superstars declined.

Still, Diplo stated the following quote, “I just want her on a Major Lazer song, she’s like the one artist we can’t ever get. I think before we’re all done, she’ll be on a song of ours. Hopefully. But if not, I don’t really care.”

A tweet from Diplo pretty much confirms that it’s happening. “The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club,” he said.
