Rihanna is set to star on Cheryl Cole’s new album

The pair really hit it off when Cole went to see Rihanna’s sell-out Loud tour at the O2 in London last month.

“It’s a big year for Cheryl. She can’t wait for her fans to hear the music she’s been passionately working on over the past 12 months.

“She has struck up a friendship with Rihanna,who recently duetted with Brit star Calvin Harris. Rihanna thinks the world of Cheryl and will work on a party remix with her when they meet up on her next visit.

“The album fuses pop,hip hop,soul and dance. It already has some party anthems on it but Rihanna’s would get everyone up on their feet,” a source said.
