She's notched up an impressive tally of billboard number one singles and sold millions of albums all over the world. She's been the driving force in a new wave of 'edginess' and she inspired the name of my baby, 'Rated i'. Yes, Rihanna is pretty big right now and by the sounds of things, she's about to get even more immense.
Her latest morsel, 'Only Girl (In The World)' is the first song to be lifted from her next studio album Loud and hops on the dance bandwagon that's circling the scene right now. No doubt the 'lady of cool' will be accused of copying Lady Gaga, because let's face it, who isn't? Thus I must remind everyone that before Gaga popped up in full force, RiRi was pounding out foot stomping delights like 'SOS' and 'Please Don't Stop the Music'. The Stargate production is uplifting and fresh, immediately inducing a desire to dance. Once we get through the sexy sounding verse we fall into an exhilarating chorus that shows off Rihanna's growing vocal abilities. The song is as club ready as can be and is a total contrast to the dark tone of much of her Rated R material (bar 'Rude Boy').
I'll miss the R rated Rihanna, but I'm quite excited about the step back and simultaneous step forward that she's taking. Back to the dance floor and forward to one more million seller. RiRi is back, even though she never left.
5/5
