It looks as though Robin Thicke is ditching his usual soul sound for more of a commercial hip-hop sound with this next album. “Shakin’ It For Daddy” (featuring Nicki Minaj) is set to be the second single from his upcoming Sex Therapy album. “Meiplé (Me I Play)” is another cut off the album that premiered on NYC’s Hot 97 radio station yesterday. Sex Therapy is set for release on December 15th.

Love muffins, are you feeling Robin Thicke’s new sound?

Shakira is releasing the US version of her new album She Wolf on November 23rd and she’s including a few extra tracks for us. “Did It Again” was originally supposed to be her second US single, but now it’s the second international single and the Timbaland & Lil Wayne assisted “Give It Up To Me” is in its place. This remix featuring Kid Cudi is a bonus track from the US edition of the album. I like the song, but I wish they would have left the original beat intact.

Mariah teamed up with the super sexy Trey Songz for the remix to “Inseparable.” The collaboration works very well and their vocals blend quite nicely. Unfortunately it’s tagged, but hopefully we’ll have the untagged version soon!

Rihanna dropped the highly anticipated video for her buzz single “Wait Your Turn” earlier today via her website. While I like the dark theme of the video, I’m not entirely sure what to think about it. It’s definitely going to give people something to talk about….that’s for sure. Earlier today, Ryan Seacrest confirmed the Young Jeezy assisted “So Hard” as being the official second single. He says:

Her second official single “So Hard” featuring rapper Young Jeezy, follows the album’s debut single “Russian Roulette,” a dark ballad which came as a surprise to many fans who expected a high-energy dance track.

In a recent interview, Rihanna finally opened up to Glamour magazine about everything from her new album and image, to domestic violence.

Domestic violence is a big secret. No kid goes around and lets people know their parents fight. Teenage girls can’t tell their parents that their boyfriend beat them up. You don’t dare let your neighbor know that you fight. It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.

I know it seems like Rihanna overload, but she is really hitting us something serious with this music. The new track, “So Hard”, was just premiered on NYC’s Hot 97 radio station. I think the song is fire! She is really coming with these hard-hitting anthems! Not to mention, Tricky Stewart & The Dream did the damn thing with this production. This is by far the best track I’ve heard so far from Rated R. Speaking of the album, hit the jump to see the official tracklisting.

UPDATE #2: A new unreleased track called “Bubble Pop” has been added after the jump. Apparently the track was left over from Good Girl Gone Bad and will.i.am. is responsible for the production.

UPDATE: After listening to the song a few times I’ve decided that I really like it. I love the Rihanna’s delivery and her attitude throughout the entire track. I also really appreciate how she went back to her roots with the Bajan accent. I’m super duper excited for Rated R.

Rihanna wasted no time hitting us with a second single. “Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)” is a completely different offering from RiRi. I like it…I’m not sure I love it…but it’s a nice track. I prefer “Russian Roulette”.

What do you think love muffins?
