About her new single, "Umbrella," Rihanna says, "People are not going to expect a song like that from me."

NEW YORK – Some singers take two-year breaks between albums. Rihanna is working on her third disc, just two years after releasing her first.

About her new single, "Umbrella," Rihanna says, "People are not going to expect a song like that from me." "It's a nonstop pace, very speedily. And Def Jam does not play, that's all I can tell you," she jokes of her record label. "We just keep going and going. It's fun. We make sure that we have fun while we do it."

The hits are likely to keep coming for the 19-year-old Barbados beauty, who has had success with "S.O.S.," "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off." Her new single, "Umbrella," was due out this week, the first song from her not-yet-titled album, set for release June 5.
It shows such growth for her as an artist," says Def Jam President Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z. "If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she's come."

Jay-Z delivers the opening salvo on the dramatic song, about the strength of a relationship.

Rihanna says the song can be about a romantic or platonic relationship.

"'Umbrella' is a serious song, a relationship song. ... It's different, and that's what I love about it," she says. "People are not going to expect a song like that from me."

The singer made her debut with island-flavored dance groove "Pon de Replay" in 2005, from her debut album, Music of the Sun. Less than a year later, she released A Girl Like Me, a platinum success that broadened her mainstream appeal.

Artists usually don't release another album so quickly, especially when they're having success with their current one. But Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio "LA" Reid says Rihanna's upcoming album, which features labelmate Ne-Yo and a song written by Justin Timberlake, is being released this summer because the label feels it's that good.

"Rihanna has made really great singles. This time, Rihanna has not only made really great singles, but a great album," he said. "We want people to hear it now and experience it now."

But fans may be surprised by what they hear.

"My sound has changed," Rihanna says. "It's a lot edgier than the rest of the stuff that anyone has heard from me before. I'm singing about different things. It's a lot sexier."

She also considers the album more adult, reflecting her quick growth in a short time in the spotlight.

"This business really helps you to find out who you are, and how strong you are," she says. "You need strength and determination with all the negativity coming at you sometimes. ... I've grown a lot."
