"The Wait Is Ova. Nov 23 09." Those few words from R&B songstress Rihanna‘s Twitter account got the music biz all abuzz yesterday as they hint at a new album release soon. Although Riri wouldn’t reveal more than that, we think it can only mean one thing; her new album will drop next month! Fans must be pleased as the Barbadian beauty has been in the news lately for anything but her music.

Since February, the sexy singer’s private life has been exposed in newspapers all over the world after her then boyfriend R&B star Chris Brown assaulted her during a violent fight in his car. Then there were the topless photos in Vogue Italia and the raunchy dress she decided to put on at this year’s Paris Fashion Week that stunned the fashion world.

Not to mention her rumored romance with pop phenomenon Justin Timberlake who has been working with her on her new album. Other stars in the industry that have collaborated with the Caribbean cutie are Stargate, Tyson Ritter from All-American Rejects and U.K. duo Chase & Status. Will Rihanna ever be able to live up to the expectations after hits like "Umbrella" and "Pon de Replay?"

Well we can’t wait to hear Rihanna’s new music! How about you? Are you excited about Riri’s new album? Drop us a line.
