Rihanna is back after almost a year out.
To celebrate her return with her new album, we need to show this barbados beauty some love with an appreciation thread.

Am playing it along with GaGa's album non stop.
However, I love rihanna,
Rated R is my favourite r&b album of the year. All this "she sounds suicidal crap" is nonsense. This is dark edgy R&B without making it suicidal. Ne yo promised us a different Rihanna and he was right. I think this album has truly shown what GGGB showed us in which she is one of the best R&B females around without a doubt next to Beyonce.
However, I'm not sure if it's as much of a 'singles' album as GGGB; I can't see as many of the tracks from RR charting as well as the singles from GGGB did.
so not all hope is lost
She experiments with different styles of music which is good
Great Variety
Think she is gonna do a collaboration with Jay Sean
But I can't beleive how bad it's done

Also, I have a new found love for Russian Roulette after seeing her performance lastnight on X Factor. Her vocals have really improved these past couple of years
You know that right...
Very very lucky...
I think it's a big shock, she gets loads of press attention, loads of radio support and is following up a big album and it limps into the charts at 16 :eek:. RR was a poor single choice, it's good song but nothing special. Cold case love can help turn things around IMO as it's different to what people will expect and it's got a real haunting melody and lyrics to match.
WTF is wrong with people? Maybe people are just sick of all the satanic stuff in her videos:) Glad if thats the case.
Her album should have been released over here this week. But with a great performance of doing Roulette (and if you noticed she soon made sure us viewers knew that not only the single but the album was out as well) then hopefully it rises.
Releasing CCL next, let alone at all, would kill this era dead in its tracks. Russian Roulette is more radio-friendly and it hasn't exacntly smashed worldwide like everyone expected her to. RR should have been released alot later, 'Hard' was the obvious lead, hopefully it can pick things up for her in the US because in the UK, RR seems to actually be doing quite well chart-wise, not sure how much longevity its going to have though.
