Rihanna taking it easy in 2008

Rihanna has admitted that she intends to take things easy for the rest of 2008.

In an interview with Elle, the 20-year-old 'Umbrella' singer confessed that fatigue has prevented her from enjoying success.

She said: "I already told everyone in my camp, 'This year, I'm not going to work like a horse.'

"In 2007 I didn't really get to enjoy anything that I achieved, because I was moving, moving, moving."

Rihanna picked up a Grammy for best rap/sung collaboration with Jay-Z in February and revealed that her hectic workload left her exhausted and unable to appreciate the award.

She added: "Jay was asking me, 'How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?' I was like, 'When I get home and I lock my room and there's silence, I'll tell you how I feel then.'"
