No sooner had world-class megastar Rihanna wrapped up the final show of her sold-out “Last Girl On Earth Tour” in Chicago last week, than she turned her attention to her brand new fifth studio album on Def Jam Recordings. LOUD, set to arrive on November 15th, has been described by insiders as a return to the uptempo dance grooves of her earlier records.

Setting the scene for LOUD is the first lead single, “Only Girl (In the World),” which went to radio and clubs yesterday, September 7th, with the single to be released on November 8th in the UK.  The uptempo track is produced by Stargate, the Norwegian team whose career has been intertwined with Rihanna (and her fellow Def Jam hitmaker Ne-Yo) since 2006, including “Unfaithful,” “Don’t Stop the Music,” “Hate That I Love You” (featuring Ne-Yo), “Take a Bow,” and her most recent #1 global smash, “Rude Boy.”
