Rihanna is close to completing her sixth studio album.

Producer Verse Simmonds, who worked on her current single Man Down, told our US Team that the S&M star was putting the finishing touches to the follow-up to Loud.

“From what I understand, she is closing the album up now. We did two records for her that she really, really loved and I’m really excited about them as well,” Verse said of him and his Jugganauts partner Sham ‘Sak Pase’ Joseph.

“They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts,” he said, adding that a third track by the team may be included on the album.

But he said the new songs didn’t sound anything like the reggae-inspired Man Down. “Nah, definitely not, because we always try to constantly – as producers, as artists – we try to always come with something different, a whole new sound,” he said.
