I'll put Music of the Sun up with GGGB and Unapologetic. It's kind of a perfect Caribbean-pop trifle in a way.

A little of both maybe? The duet reminds me of Gotye, the accompaniment is all Adele.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 February 2013 06:25 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i get nothing Gotye out that other than 'for the first time ever, white boys can help Rihanna dominate pop radio'

One thing I've noticed about Rihanna as a singer is that she has started emoting more convincingly as she's gotten older; I cringe to think of what she would have done to this song had it come out at the same time as "Unfaithful".

it would have been very sad :(
and yes i've heard people comment similarly about her recent performances
― surm, Thursday, 14 February 2013 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
she's pretty fantastic on "Loveeeeeee Song" imo

favourite riri album for me is a tossup between GGGB and Rated R, Loud and Talk that talk both had shining moments but felt tossed off and lazy. Everything I read about this album made it sound even lazier + i guess i still find the whole chris brown thing pretty icky, but then I listened to "stay" about four times yesterday so now i don't even know.

vin diesel is feeling "stay"

is Rihanna way taller than I realized?
― steendriver dysphoria hoos (The Reverend), Monday, 5 May 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I had the same though. I'd always assumed she was kind of short(ish) for some reason, but perhaps not.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:04 (ten years ago) link
she's 5'8" and always in heels, so
