Rihanna Reveals Sixth Album's Lead Single

As reported by The BoomBox, if the title of her next single is any indication, Rihanna's upcoming sixth album will be an upbeat, celebratory affair.

On Oct. 11, All Access reports, the Barbadian-born pop superstar drops 'We Found Love,' the lead single from her yet-untitled follow-up to last year's 'Loud.' The track was produced by Calvin Harris, the Scottish electro-pop whiz known for his work with Kylie Minogue and Dizzee Rascal, among others.





Little is known about RiRi's forthcoming record, and in a recent Twitter post, she cryptically described the theme as "GangstaR." While each of Rihanna's previous five albums have reached the top 10, her highest-charting LP, 2007's 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' peaked at No. 2.

Now that she's 'Found Love,' will those good feelings carry her to the top slot? Time will tell.
