Rihanna Talks 'Rude Boy' and Next Project

posted on Feb 24, 2010

In a recent sit-down with MTV Korea, Rihanna talked about her latest music video "Rude Boy". "It's really colorful; it's a pop art video," she told. "We shot it all on green screen. Everything was done in post-production. It's really colorful, really energetic. It was really inspired by my Caribbean roots. I love reggae music. ['Rude Boy'] is a Jamaican term, so our costumes are 'dancehall-queen-like. It's a fun video. Probably the most fun video we've done so far."

For her next project, the 22-year-old singer said she plans to lighten up her music with a more "energetic" sound. She explained, "Rated R - I love the sound of it, in terms of the bass," Rihanna explained. "I really like the bottom, the grime of it. But if I were to combine that with more energetic, uptempo pop records, then I think that will be a happy marriage. And that's where we'll probably go next."

In related news, it was confirmed that Pixie Lott will support Rihanna on her UK tour in May.
