'We Found Love In a Hopeless Place'

Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris
We Found Love
Released: TBA
From: Upcoming Sixth Studio Album

So it was revealed yesterday evening that Rihanna was releasing the lead single from her sixth studio album. Instantly, it may strike fans to know that the Barbadian singer is onto her third album in less than two years: Rated R (2009), Loud (2010) and now TBA (2011).

In the space of two years, Rihanna has managed to achieve 10 top 40 singles, including: 'Russian Roulette' (#2), 'Rude Boy' (#2), 'Te Amo' (#14), 'Love the Way You Lie' with Eminem (#2), Only Girl (In the World) (#1), 'Who's That Chick' with David Guetta (#6) 'What's My Name?' (#1), 'S&M' (#3), 'California King Bed' (#8) and recently 'Cheers (Drink to That)' (#19). Now that's pretty impressive by any standards - so 'We Found Love' will no doubt clock up an eleven T40 hit for her when it sees release in the upcoming months.

The track, produced by Scottish-born Calvin Harris, is a club-banger, there's no doubting that. The chorus, 'We Found Love In This Hopeless Place' is preceeded by a drop into an incredible piece of dance music, equating to a radio-friendly track that'll appeal to fans of both credited artists. It's fair to say that this is not Rihanna's best work, but anything is better than the gloomy slit-your-wrist songs that featured on her Rated R album - which saw release after the whole Chris Brown situation.

I've posted the track below for y'all to enjoy. Feel free to comment on what you think of the track - sound a bit too much like 'Only Girl', reckon it'll be a contender for #1?
