Rihanna to launch new album via an exclusive live streamed concert with Nokia

International superstar Rihanna will showcase new material from her highly-anticipated forthcoming album, Rated R, exclusively to a Nokia audience via a globally streamed live performance on 16th November 2009.

This partnership event with Nokia will preview tracks from Rated R – set for a 23rd November release worldwide - performed live from a secret London location.

From her multi-platinum album A Girl Like Me to her ubiquitous global smash Good Girl Gone Bad, in just a few short years, Rihanna has helped redefine the path of popular music for a new generation. She continues that musical and stylistic journey on one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in recent history - her fourth original studio album, Rated R.

This event places Rihanna at the forefront of cutting-edge technology to deliver music and exclusive content to fans, whilst enabling fans to get closer to the live action from wherever they are in the world.
