Sometimes office romances work out, even if the romance part doesn't. In the music industry, that means that after a fling and a breakup, two professionals like Drake and Rihanna can hook up again — this time musically. The pair have worked on a track for Rihanna's forthcoming Loud release, and she recently confirmed that she'd be into making a video for the still untitled track, a suggestion that Drake made recently.

"Drake is such a cool guy. He is one of my great friends. We actually just did a song together. It's going to be on my album," she told ThisIsMax.net. "The second song we did another version with him. We may even shoot a video for it. I went out with him, Trey [Songz] and J. Cole recently. We had a lot of fun."

While Drake was equally tight-lipped about the track when he caught up with MTV News last month, he did seem keen on doing something visual with Rihanna for the song. "I just did this great song," he explained. "I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about it. I just did this great song with Rihanna; hopefully we can do a video for it. I'm really excited about that."

Drake also dished about working with Rihanna earlier this year, but it's unclear whether he was referring to a different track from the one he talked about in September. "I guess I'm living a dream," he explained in June 2009. "I enjoy a challenge. I've never in my mind felt like, 'Oh, I could probably write something crazy for Rihanna.' That wasn't my first thought. But being put up to the task, we're coming up with some special stuff. It's crazy, man. All I could do is smile. It's nice."

So what's his relationship with Rihanna like now? "Yeah, it's just work. Me and Rihanna are just me and Rihanna," Drake said. "We're cool and she's great, man. She's a great person, definitely."

But back to Loud. Rihanna, during her chat with ThisIsMax.net, revealed that the album will "exude the energy and space I'm in right now. That's what I always try and do with my music. Right now in my life I feel very loud and in charge of my life and I can't wait for everyone to hear the new album. It has such a variety of sounds, but it all makes sense for this album. There is a song on the album that is a straight-up Jamaican record, and I love it. I even do a little chat on it at the end."
 
A Rihanna and Drake track? Sweet. I hope it's good.
Rated R was a good album. I'm still upset Will I Am ruined Photographs with his vocals midway through the song.

[h1]Rihanna Sings Praises Of Loud Collaborator Nicki Minaj[/h1][h2]RiRi calls Minaj 'a star' after working together on 'Raining Men.'[/h2]

Though scheduling issues forced Nicki Minaj to drop out of Rihanna's Last Girl on Earth tour this summer, the pair did eventually get to hook up on "Raining Men," a track that will appear on the singer's forthcoming album, Loud. And from the way RiRi praises the up-and-coming Minaj, this won't be their last time working together.

"You know, I worked with her before on [2009's] Rated R and she was just writing me some really good ballads, and I couldn't wait to work with her again and finally have her on my record," Rihanna told Capital FM.

Rihanna described "Raining Men" as "a really fun song. ... No, nothing like the original. It's quite uptempo but kind of quirky and funny."

The singer also noted in the interview that she loves Nicki's completely over-the-top persona. "She has a great buzz and she has a 'thing' to her. She is a star and that's why people love her. She's also really entertaining with her visual as well as her lyrics, and she has a great melody."

She was quick to point out, though, that Nicki is also a truly talented artist. "I'm really amazed that she can write like that. [Nicki] not only raps but she can write songs too," Rihanna explained. "It was really easy actually. We were going back and forth with the texts on how we were going to get to do it because we were in two different places and had two opposite schedules."

As for the album, after a mixed reaction to Rated R, Rihanna has noted that she stepped up her game for this next effort. "I made sure not to let you down with my music! You guys are always defending me, so now you've got some great songs to justify it," Rihanna told fans back in September when she announced the title of her forthcoming release. "I didn't want to go backward and remake [2007's] Good Girl Gone Bad. I wanted the next step in the evolution of Rihanna, and it's perfect for us."

Besides the Minaj collaboration, Rihanna also hooked up with Drake for a remix version of "What's My Name" that will appear as a bonus track on Loud. The album is scheduled to hit stores on November 16.
 
Wait till y'all hear "Cheers" and the sample The Runners flipped ... It's going to be a weekend drinking anthem
