Rihanna Says She Might Shoot Video With Drake

Sometimes office romances work out, even if the romance part doesn't. In the music industry, that means that after a fling and a breakup, two professionals like Drake and Rihanna can hook up again — this time musically. The pair have worked on a track for Rihanna's forthcoming Loud release, and she recently confirmed that she'd be into making a video for the still untitled track, a suggestion that Drake made recently.

"Drake is such a cool guy. He is one of my great friends. We actually just did a song together. It's going to be on my album," she told ThisIsMax.net. "The second song we did another version with him. We may even shoot a video for it. I went out with him, Trey [Songz] and J. Cole recently. We had a lot of fun."

While Drake was equally tight-lipped about the track when he caught up with MTV News last month, he did seem keen on doing something visual with Rihanna for the song. "I just did this great song," he explained. "I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about it. I just did this great song with Rihanna; hopefully we can do a video for it. I'm really excited about that."

Drake also dished about working with Rihanna earlier this year, but it's unclear whether he was referring to a different track from the one he talked about in September. "I guess I'm living a dream," he explained in June 2009. "I enjoy a challenge. I've never in my mind felt like, 'Oh, I could probably write something crazy for Rihanna.' That wasn't my first thought. But being put up to the task, we're coming up with some special stuff. It's crazy, man. All I could do is smile. It's nice."

Rihanna Dishes On New Album Loud, Acting In 'Battleship'

With the release of her new album, Loud, Rihanna is focused on distinguishing herself from her fellow pop star peers. In an interview with the BBC's Radio 1, the singer dished on an array of topics, including the LP, collaborations and how pursuing her feature-film debut, "Battleship," peaked her sudden interest in acting.

"I can't believe it's the fifth album already," she gushed to host Scott Mills. "That's insane to think about. ... I've never been this excited about anything I've done creatively, and this is just the perfect Rihanna album: Every song is tailored to me."

During the making of the album, the singer had a particular agenda in mind: "I wanted songs that were all Rihanna songs, that nobody else could do. I didn't want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could just do and it'll work. I wanted a song, or songs, that were Rihanna songs, that only I could do, had that little West Indian vibe to it, had that certain tone, a certain sass and a certain energy."

Noticeably aware of the trends in today's pop scene, Rihanna explained it's easy to croon to a tune that just about anyone else could sing.

"It's really easy to do that because of the whole dance-music movement happening right now," she said. "It's easy to get a dance beat and just throw a song on top of it and call it a hit."

The songstress made her mark on the summer hit "Love The Way You Lie," which was the talk of the town, as Eminem and Rih tackled the struggles of domestic violence in the track and the video. Calling their collaboration "amazing," Rihanna admitted that the Detroit MC intrigued her to no end.
