Cheryl Cole is going to collaborate with Rihanna

Cheryl Cole will record a duo with Rihanna for her upcoming third album, reports US press. According to Gigwise, former Girls Aloud singer already discussed the collaboration with Rihanna, and both of them can't wait to work together.

An anonymous source close to the singer was cited as saying: "Cheryl Cole 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".

The source added: "It's a big year for Cheryl. She can't wait for her little soldiers to hear the music she's been passionately working on over the past 12 months".

Cheryl Cole released her second studio effort Messy Little Raindrops in 2010.
