The ever-fierce Rihanna is hard at work on her new album, Loud, which she says is so awesome it keeps her awake at night.

The  singer told the Daily Star

“When you go to a club and have to listen to bad music you revert to the liquor because you want to have a good time,”

“I hate having to skip a track, especially if I am in the shower. I wanted to make an album you just play.”

Rihanna says she’s hopeful that fans will really enjoy her new record when it comes out, and stresses that she’s living, breathing and (not) sleeping it:

“Every time I listen to new songs I’m making up videos in my head or thinking about how I would perform it live – that’s why I don’t sleep,”

The rumored second single from Loud, “Who’s That Chick“, leaked last month, though Rihanna denied that it was even a part of the record.

She did, however, let it slip that the third single from the record will be “S & M“, which she says:

“It’s the loudest track on the album. It’s bad ass,”

“And the ‘S&M’ video is going to be totally unexpected. I’m sure people will be surprised.”

I’m sure all of her hardwork will really pay off, and I’m sure Rihanna fans are very excited for Loud to drop on November 16th!
