Billboard reports that “the will.i.am duet, ‘Photographs,’ is one of the album’s stand-out tracks, as Rihanna laments over a lost relationship. ‘I don’t want to be stuck in the past but you’re all that I had / why couldn’t you be the one,’ she questions over static drums.”

Rihanna’s concert tour rider has been released, thanks to The Smoking Gun. Here’s a sampling of what the 21-year-old songstress requests of her dressing room catering:

– 24 buffalo wings (HOT sauce on the side)
– 1 whole roasted chicken, spiced with jerk seasoning and cut into parts and steamed white rice
– 1 bag of good quality tortilla chips
– 1 small bag of plantain chips (salted)
– 1 bag of “fire hot” crunchy “Cheetos brand” cheese doodles (or comparable item)
– We may ask for hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon, turkey sausage at any time throughout the day. Please be prepared!
