It has just been announced that Rihanna's fourth studio album will be released on November 23. According to Play.com, she has been collaborating with top-notch musicians, such as Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects, Ne-Yo, Drake, and Akon for the not-yet-titled record.

Recently, rapper Ne-Yo commented on the upcoming album, stating "Rihanna will say things on this album you have never heard her say before." Additionally, the record has been said to be edgier and angrier than the 21-year-old songstress' previous efforts.

Beside cooperating with those musicians, the Barbados-born singer has appointed Justin Timberlake to become the producer for the project. As of late, the Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend dished on Rihanna's latest album, saying "In my opinion, she's got the world in the palm of her hand right now, based on her success with her last record. The stuff we've come up with in the studio, it's the next step for her. It's a little more grown up. It's got some edge to it!"
