Our friend @RihannaDemos asked Chew FU, Rihanna’s “Rated R Remixed” producer, 8 questions. Take a look at them below:

Q: First of all, congrats for producing the whole remix edition on your own.

A::: Thanks. I still can’t believe I got it all done myself… What an honor. I mean, Rihanna is one of the biggest artists in the Universe. I was stoked when I got the opportunity to remix her single “Russian Roulette”. Being given the opportunity to remix the entire “Rated R” album was the perfect way to close out 2009 and welcome in 2010.

Q: Are you excited about how fan’s are reacting to the remixes and the album?

A::: Excited? My team and I are losing our minds over here over the reaction from the fans. The amount of love we’ve received from RiRi fanbase cannot be put into words. For real, it’s been like an electric blanket of love on a cold-ass NYC night. We had love for Rihanna going into this…but now…all we can do is bow down…I’m seriously considering getting a “Rated R” Tattoo… I’m serious?

Jim Beanz, the producer behind Britney Spears’ “Blackout” album, was asked by MTV:  “How are the Rihanna sessions for the new album going?”

“They are going amazingly. Her new album is going to be crazy. It could be one of the best things I have ever worked on. I always try to out do myself every time, I never try to go backwards. I will say though the tracks I have worked on with Timbaland for Rihanna have been amazing, Timbaland has always been the one to re-invent himself and at the moment he is really on some fast-forward sh*t, he is really going to kill the game with the stuff he is working on now.”

• “Rated R” is up 6 places from #23 to #17 in the U.K.
• “Te Amo” is up from #51 to #30 in the U.K. (not released until May 24th).
• “Rated R” is #18 in Norway (up 4), #18 in Ireland (up 6).
• “Te Amo” debuts at #60 in Australia. It is also #17 in Portugal.
• “Te Amo” also up from #52 to #30 in Sweden.

“Te Amo” is doing pretty well, since it hasn’t even been officially released yet! Hopefully it will be as successful as “Rude Boy”. Rihanna definitely needs to promote the track!

In an exclusive interview with Rap-Up TV, Rico Love reveals that he was in the studio last week working on Rihanna’s new album with Timbaland. “We did some amazing, amazing records,” says the songwriter-producer known for his work with Beyoncé and Usher. “The energy was high. Timbaland is a genius.”

Rico shared a few more details about the project’s direction. “The tone of the music that I did for Rihanna with Timbaland is extremely sexy—amazingly sexy, aggressive, unapologetic. She’s one of the sexiest women in the world, so I wanted to make sure we did a record to showcase that.”

Just last month, Sean Garrett told Rap-Up.com that he had finished a “humongous radio record” for the pop star’s fifth album.

The next leading lady in Taio Cruz professional life is Rihanna, 22. Taio has been cooking up some more traditional perky pop for the Barbados babe, moving away from her harder-edged Rated R sound.

“There was a big writing camp with 50 other producers writing for Rihanna’s next album. They had hired out 20 to 30 different studios and had everyone in there collaborating, switching people around. Each person did about six or seven songs. It doesn’t normally work like that but she’s a huge artist.”

Thoughts?

RihannaDaily can confirm that “Te Amo” (produced by Stargate), is indeed Rihanna’s follow up “Rated R” single to “Rude Boy”. “Te Amo” is Spanish for I Love You. As we all know, it was the only track which leaked on the internet that made it on “Rated R”. It is one of the most different tracks on the album, beautifully written by James Fauntleroy, topped the Brazilian charts and made the Top 60 in Sweden earlier this year even without an official release.

Based on the feedback and poll results, whether the majority disagrees, we should help support it regardless, “Rated R” is a masterpiece. It will do incredibly well especially in the Hispanic markets.

Make sure to look out for her performance of “Te Amo” on American Idol next Wednesday! The music video is being shot sooner than you think! Stay tuned for more details.
