Rihanna's new album will not be featuring world-renowned DJ Calvin Harris.

The hitmaker sent the pop sensation some material to consider for the new record, but admits it hasn't made the cut.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper he explained: "No I'm not on the Rihanna album.

"I did a few things for it but they don't get back to you. There are a lot of people involved!

"She listens to everything - I know that - but she's got a strong idea and identity and an idea of what her album should sound like."

He insists however that the snub doesn't bother him.

"It's not like they put me on 'We Found Love' because I'm signed to Roc, they did it because it's a f**king good song.

"But it's OK because I'm working on my stuff and it's going fine so I'm not concerned about it."

Calvin also admitted that personal relationships are used as inspiration for some of his tracks.

"With lyrics I have a title and a concept. I have an idea. Partners do inspire songs.

"'Summer' was about someone, the Rita one 'Never Let You Down' is about someone, 'Feel So Close' is about someone. So yeah..."
