[MINE. Last Girl on Earth Tour, Glasgow, 2010]
So I've heard, on the 'grape vine', two snippets from Rihanna's new batch of titillating material. Turns out it's completely different to the epic dark brooding of Rated R which everyone knows was my favourite album of the last year. Loud is a step back to the dance pop of Good Girl, Gone Bad, but also a step forward to a unique dance pop that identifies Rihanna as an artist doing her own thing in the genre. The first track I heard was 'Only Girl (In the World)' which is an immensely satisfying club ready beast, that sounds a bit like some of the dance music that came out in the early noughties. If you can, listen to it, because it's really quite a pleasant surprise and new direction, plus her voice sounds the best it's sounded in her entire career. The second 'Who's That Chick?', a David Guetta collaboration (therefore it's going to be huge), which has the coolest, most entertainingly fresh video at this end of 2010. Riri's voice is manipulated to sound robotic but it works well for a one off tune that's both exciting and as catchy as swine flu. So far, I am impressed. Keep it up baby cakes!
Loud is out in November. I am going to hibernate until the glorious release date.
