Rihanna has confirmed six of the tracks that will appear on her upcoming album Loud.
Earlier this evening, the Barbadian pop singer introduced five songs in person at a playback event in Central London, including the LP's lead single 'Only Girl (In The World)'.
She also confirmed that the album's second single would be the "sassy, flirtatious and fun" 'What's My Name', before hinting that a "badass" track called 'S&M' would also become a single by revealing that she had already devised a "completely unexpected" video to accompany it.
She proceeded to play the songs 'Cheers', dedicated to "all the semi-alcoholics around the world", and 'California King Bed', a ballad about "falling in love" and "feeling so close to someone but so far away".
Furthermore, in a brief Q&A session after the playback, she announced that a track called 'Raining Men', a collaboration with Nicki Minaj, would also appear on the record.
She described the album as a whole as "expressive", "attention-grabbing" and "filled with lots of different sounds", before summarising its vibe by saying: "You just have to play it really loud."
Loud will be released in the UK on November 15.
