Rihanna – Music Album Reviews
Rihanna though is still considered as a teen, but when one listens to her very sophisticated, and highly sultry sound in her album “Good Girl Gone Bad” then one would be convinced that she’s no child. This is because the very clear and mature vocals that she presents in her album mark her skills. Her third album is seen as another milestone in her performance and career.
She has taken a lot of help from the R&B hit makers like Timbaland and Jay-Z. Rihanna has projected herself as a fresh faced teen and now has moved straight to the point where she is known as a superstar. It’s quite clear from her sound and image that image of Rihanna has been molded very carefully. At her age, where the image is considered everything, her unique style statement is compared to that of Diana Ross.
“Good girl gone bad” is a very stylish CD consisting of 12 tracks features up-tempo songs. All these songs are written very clearly and produced mainly for the dance floor. “Umbrella” is considered as the most powerful track of her album featuring Jay-Z. It’s a very strong, and a memorable track having pounding rhythm. This track has become a major hit in almost all the dance clubs throughout the world. This song has been produced very beautifully and is arranged very carefully. It has mixing of Jay-Z’s rap along with Rihanna’s voice.
There is another famous track in the album called “Shut up & Drive”. This is another number that is perfect for all the dance floors. Though this song, like other songs in the album has never topped the charts, but still it can be seen as a nice blend of music.
Besides above two there are other popular numbers in album like “Push Up” and “Don’t stop music”. “Push up” has used some pieces of the “Running With Night” featured by Lionel Richie while “Don’t Stop Music” has included some bits of “Wanna be starting something” of Michael Jackson.
Through her album Rihanna has paid a small homage to all the greats of the past. She has made a smart move by using some big stars of today like Ne Yo, in her sweet song called “That I Love You”. In her album Rihanna has tried to show the things that she can actually try to do musically. Her new album is perfect blend of different music compositions. If you are a party lover then you must go for this one.
