In an interview with German magazine Focus the British songstress Dido talked about Rihanna’s way to release new music:
Rihanna seems to throw an album on the market weekly. Unbelieveable! When does she have time to write her songs? I could never release music that means nothing to me.
Ouch.
One thing is for sure, though: Dido always takes several years to release new music. After a break of four years, her new album Girl Who Got Away will be out March 4.

Let the sales talk instead of this useless b*tch!
Oh but you will shoot another artist who is more successful then you down to get some attention when you get ready to release your album tho..
I am a HUGE Rihanna fan and I see kind of where Dido is coming from. It would be nice to see Rihanna write more of her own music (although she made major contributions to the writing on Unapologetic). BUT Dido has to realize the music industry is about relevancy. Look at Nelly Furtdao. ‘Loose’ was a huge success and spawned off hit after hit, but when Nelly recently released ‘Spirit’ almost 4-5 years later, it BOMBED. That’s because it gave people time to forget about her, just like everyone is going to forget about Dido, didn’t even know she had an album coming out. But Rihanna she is VERY relevant and it’s what the listeners want, so she is just 1) doing what she loves by making music and 2) always having new stuff to keep the fans satisfied. She wouldn’t have 67 million likes on Facebook if people didn’t like her.
