Earlier this month, musician Sia - who wrote RiRi's hit Diamonds - revealed that she's contributed tracks to the project, claiming it was still unfinished.
'The other night she came over and listened to half of 25 songs I played her because she’s still looking for songs for her new album,' she told Entertainment Weekly.
'She was there to listen to songs and see if there was anything that she was into. It was a business meeting for sure. She took four but I don’t know if they’ll end up [on the album].'
