Rihanna and Drake have collaborated on a track for the singer's forthcoming album 'Loud', it has emerged.

Drake said the pair, who have previously enjoyed a brief relationship, had recorded a “great song” together.

"I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about it,” he told MTV News. “I just did this great song with Rihanna; hopefully we can do a video for it. I'm really excited about that."

'Loud', which is Rihanna's follow-up to 2009's 'Rated R', is due to be released in November.

"I'm gonna miss the 'Rated R' era too, but nothing compares to the album I just made,” the singer said recently.

The album will be preceded by the single 'Only Girl (In The World)'.
