Barbadian singer Rihanna , who you have probably heard about, is preparing to release her sixth studio album this autumn.

This was revealed unofficially through Twitter , when the star responded to a fan’s inquiry as to when her next album would be available with “THIS FALL!!!!!”

Since her debut release in 2005, the singer has dropped a new album every year (except for 2008). The new album is expected to include collaborations with producer Verse Simmonds , who was reportedly working on the finishing touches to the record with the singer in August.

Def Jam Recordings released ‘Loud’ on the 12th November 2010.
