Somehow, in between modeling endless bathing suits aboard a yacht during her recent Italian vacation, Rihanna has put the finishing touches on her album Talk That Talk. The advance word on the LP, out Nov. 21, is that its “the dirtiest pop album since Madonna’s Erotica.” On first listen to the album snippet currently floating around online, there doesn’t appear to anything quite as brap-worthy as “Rude Boy” or “Man Down” but there’s certainly some tunes that will fit nicely in the dancehall—most notably the as-filthy-as-it-sounds “Cockiness.” Today, Rihanna leaked the full version of “You Da One,” the album’s second single (produced by Dr. Luke) and a track with a strong island undercurrent, if not quite straight up Caribbean vibes. Stream it below, and don’t spend too much of your day looking at those bathing suit pics.
