Rih Hanna spent the week of the Grammy Awards of 2007 in Liverpool and Parrados, Barbados. She said she wanted to keep the audience dancing and be soulful at the same time.

In an interview with MTV News, she announced that she just want to hear something fresh and mostly uptempo. I think that’s where I want to go on this one. — Rihanna talking to The StarPhoenix about the style she took for the albums.
