Want a hint at what Rihanna's next album might sound like? Check out 'Lies', the new single from Burns - the UK dance producer who is said to have been working on the follow up to her 2011 album, Talk That Talk.

'Lies' is an electronic reworking of 'It's Over Now', a US hit for American soul singer Deborah Cox, and features shimmering synths mixed with a marching drumroll and some seriously menacing beats.

The Mirror revealed Rihanna's work with Burns in June 2012, as Rihanna spent time in the studio with the producer when she was in the city for her Hackney Weekend performance.

"Rihanna is working with Marina and the Diamonds' boyfriend Burns, a Brighton-based producer who is good mates with Calvin Harris," said a source to the tabloid. "They've booked three days in the studio, which they'll fit around him doing some work with Kelis. Rihanna's also working with Nicky Romero, another DJ and pal of Calvin."
