With Rihanna’s new album, Rated R, coming out on Monday, November 23, the singer made an appearance on On-Air with Ryan Seacrest. She said that despite the drama she went through with Chris Brown, she knew it was time to make a new album when she started to get "cabin fever."
"Right after the Grammys this year, I would say months later, I kind of got tired of just hanging out in the house and I got cabin fever, so I was like ‘I have to work,’" Rihanna told Seacrest. "I called the label and said 'I’m ready.'"
At first she didn't want to sing about love or about her relationship with Brown, but after a while, she couldn't help it - the emotions came out in her music. "We went into the studio and first thing we did was figure out the sound. I was having mixed emotions about what I wanted to talk about. I did not want to talk about love at all, because it was sort of expected and I didn’t really believe in love at that point, so I tried to go the other way," Rihanna explained. "But when I went into the studio, it was my peace and my way to vent, so all these real emotions started to come out, so it’s really raw. The album is a roller coaster of emotions. It’s a really personal album and I wouldn’t have made it any other way."
In related news, a Los Angeles judge found that Chris Brown is complying with his sentence in connection with his assault on Rihanna. Brown made a brief appearance in court this week and was ordered to appear for an update on February 18, according to the Los Angeles Times. He was sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community service, which he performed in Richmond, VA. He must also attend a 52-week course of domestic violence counseling and stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna for the next five years.
