Rihanna 'working with Eminem producer'

Rihanna is reportedly working on her new album with Eminem's producer.

The singer, who features on the rapper's latest single 'Love The Way You Lie', is said to have asked the song's producer Alex Da Kid to create a similar hit for her own LP.

Alex Da Kid told MTV: "We worked together about a year before 'Love the Way You Lie' in London.

"Obviously that song has helped the people around her and her label say, 'Oh, that's a big hit, we want another one'. You know how the music industry is."

He also revealed that Rihanna's fifth studio album is still in the early stages, saying: "I'd say it's like a mixture of her two sides. It's commercial, but at the same time it's got an edge to it - it has substance."

'Love The Way You Lie' is currently on course to top the charts this Sunday, after spending eight weeks inside the Top 10.
