Rihanna said her fans shouldn't expect her next album to be as dark as "Rated R" and said it will be less intense.

Rihanna said: "Rated R, I love the sound of it, in terms of the bass. I really like the bottom, the grime of it. But if I were to combine that with more energetic, up-tempo pop records, then I think that will be a happy marriage. And that's where we'll probably go next."

More details about the new album will be announced soon.
