While Chris Brown awaits his rescheduled date in court after his lawyers successfully won a continuance in his case, we are hearing new information that is somewhat surprising to me. According to TMZ, Chris and Rihanna have decided to work together on a new duet for a song that is meant to focus “on overcoming difficult challenges as a couple”:
TMZ now has all the details about the secret late-night recording sessions between Rihanna and Chris Brown — and they were jam-packed with emotion and serious drama, with some playful touching — seriously. The whole thing came together when they decided to reconcile shortly after the attack. Sources tell us music producer Polow Da Don convinced both Chris and Rihanna to get in the studio and record a love song stat, stressing that timing was important because the heightened emotions would translate powerfully into the music. Both Rihanna and Chris agreed and snuck in a couple of “late night” sessions that we’re told were “very, very emotional … the feeling in the room was pure love.” Clearly, love hurts. As for how they got along, they were “playfully touching each other.” We’re told the song was originally written for Rihanna before the fight, but after the beat down the producer believed the track — which ironically focuses on overcoming difficult challenges as a couple — would be the perfect duet.
Clearly, Rihanna and Chris just want to move forward and pretend as if nothing happened. By working together professionally on a song that may one day get radio play, they prolly figure that they are just “working thru their problems” and everything will be OK in the end … which works out fine for Chris. In this instance, he has EVERYTHING to gain from this scenario and nothing at all to lose. What saddens me is not only did Rihanna get battered but now she has decided to take an active part in trying to help Chris out of his problem. Where is the positive for her? Oh, that’s right, she gets to stay with Chris Brown. Man … in my opinion, both of these kids need help and bad. I’m at a loss … and I have to say, I have NO interest in hearing any duets from these two ever in the future.

BTW, I just feel sorry for Rihanna. The difference between her and the average, non-celebrity abused woman is that the whole world is seeing her go back to the guy who beats her. I was NOT surprised that she went back, just sorry for her.
Chris B is a young person, and he is being treated like a career criminal, like he has some history of abusing women.
Seriously, serial killers gets better treatment.
At first i felt really bad for Rihanna, but now she just sounds like a really really stupid girl.
come on, listen to oprah haha, if he hits u once, he will hit u again.
get the hell out of there.
..and yet, they say the CB record sales haven’t changed.
@Gel
ah well because he hasn’t released an album currently or a new song. So the low weekly sales of his songs and albums are still low. His last album was released like 2 years ago and his last song was Forever & that duet with Keri Hilson which was a flop (not b/c of this incident).
Time will tell if his sales will drop when he releases new material. You cannot judge his sales from old material because the popularity has already dropped from when it was new.
I believe his sales will drop, to how much is unknown. He will still get decent sales i believe from his die hard fans, it’s just whether radio will play his new stuff. Radio believe it or not can play a dramatic role in an artists sales.
I believe in second chances. Though i don’t know if i would be able to give one out in this situation. If Chris is really going to therapy and really trying to change then why not. However, if he EVER hits her again she better be gone. A duet is a way for them to heal themselves, not make money., Though making money off it would help. I just think we need to give Chris another chance. He’s young.
I can’t believe these two would even consider creepin’ at this point. Damn! After the Chris Brown beat down, that girl should stay as far away from him as possible. A duet, please …..
