Rihanna has been touring and recording at a breakneck pace over the last three years, but despite her already considerable output, she is reportedly ready to work another new album. The 24-year-old pop star already has some strong ideas about the direction her new music will take and she has recently met with electronic artists Chase & Status to discuss collaborating. The Huffington Post reports:

Rihanna is ready to start work on her next new album according to Capital FM.

The 24-year-old songstress has a rough idea of what her seventh studio album will entail.

“Right now we’re working on collecting and creating the sound first before we even start working on the lyrical direction or melodies,” Rihanna told Capital FM. “I kind of have an idea though, and it’s very rough right now.”

After working with electronic dance music DJ Calvin Harris on her last album’s first single “We Found Love,” Rihanna’s rough idea may include some house beats. She recently met with electronic duo Chase & Status to discuss her upcoming album.
