It's been a while since Jay-Z and Rihanna have collaborated, and the release of her new album Talk That Talk on November 21 seems like as good a time as any.

Norwegian production team Stargate spilled the beans that Hova will appear on Ri's next album. In an interview posted on Complex.com, Stargate member Tor Erik Hermansen described the track as a "midtempo banger with hard drums, dirty synths, and Rihanna and Jay at their best.

"We are very happy with the song, and Jay's verse is crazy — same with Rihanna's part," he told the mag.

Rihanna took to Twitter on Tuesday (November 8) to confirm that her mentor will appear on the song "Talk That Talk": "Yes sir! Jigga man is on the title track #TTT."

Rihanna and Jay have memorably collaborated in the past on her mega-hit "Umbrella" and his Blueprint 3 track "Run This Town."

The collabo news comes just days after Rihanna released the Talk That Talk track list. Fourteen songs made the final cut; 11 will be featured on the standard version, and the additional three on the deluxe version.

For those wondering just what the TTT era of Rihanna will look and sound like, her "We Found Love" video director, Melina Matsoukas, told us it will match vibe of that clip. "I think it sets up definitely the imagery for the album, and it's in line with what they're doing," she said. "So that's good, and I'm sure there's plenty more, hopefully."
