Verse Simmonds, who worked with Rihanna for US single 'Man Down', says her next release is "99.999%" complete.

"From what I understand, she is closing the album up now," Simmonds told MTV.

"We did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well."

Despite already having a new album virtually ready, Rihanna is still releasing tracks from 'Loud' with the next single 'Cheers (Drink To That)' due out on Sunday 11th September.
