Rihanna is still working on her next album, but her record label boss has begun to tease what to be expected from the effort. On Tuesday, June 15, Def Jam's vice president Bu Thiam discussed the progress of the 22-year-old singer's next album in a blog for Vibe Magazine, and noted that he is working on to make it equally as good as Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

"Rihanna is coming along incredibly," Thiam first shared. He went on to detail, "I'm trying to push her to where every song will be a hit from 1 to 12. I'm talking about NO album filler. Our bar for this album is Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'." To make that a reality, he revealed that they has got Stargate, Ester Dean, Mel & Mus and Rock City in the team.

As if they aren't enough, the record boss added, "We're definitely going in with Ne-Yo, The-Dream and other writers and producers that have always been a part of her creative process since day one." He also praised Rihanna for being "great to work with and very hands on with every song that's being written and produced."

"She has visual concepts for just about every song," Thiam continued to explain. He ended his blog by gushing, "It's already giving me the feel of a timeless album, and right now is her time."

Earlier this week, Rihanna was seen rocking the Staples Center in Los Angeles when she teamed up with Travis Barker and Eminem singing "Love the Way You Lie". On Wednesday, June 16, the "Rockstar 101" singer was spotted arriving at Barbados airport.
