Rihanna Shares ‘Unapologetic’ Snippets

rihanna vogue sheisdiva  Rihanna Shares Unapologetic Snippets

“Who knew the course of this one drive…”

This evening, snippets from Rihanna‘s forthcoming LP ‘Unapologetic’ surfaced online, two weeks before its November 19th due date.

From what’s been made available, it’s safe to say the singer has served up a Rock / Pop affair, jam packed with killer melodies and even harsher hooks.

Yes, it’s that promising.

Get into it below…

Pre-order the album here!

      • Rih,,,,,,
        If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next, don’t be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart.. where your hope lives. You’ll find you’re way again.

      • What is the next single??????

        I’m seriously listening to this shit again because I’m shocked and awed that I dont like it. Im really trying. Maybe I need to hear the full tracks. I usually dont like RiRi’s first single but love the album. I shoulda known the opposite would happen because I LOVED Diamond’s immediately :*(

      • LOVE:
        “Diamomds”
        “Diamonds” (Dave Aude Remix)

        SOUNDED BETTER THE 2ND TIME AND
        MIGHT GROW ON ME:
        “Phresh Out the Runway”
        “Numb”
        “Nobody’s Business” minus the rhythmic talking/chanting or whatever the fuck that is
        “No Love Allowed” – Had to throw in a sprinkle of Island flair, ehhhhh?

        OK:
        “Pour It Up” – sounds like Bandz A Make Her Dance 0_o
        “Jump”
        “What Now”

        HATE:
        “Love Song”- Future kills the whole song! Who the fuck authorized this????

        COULDA BEEN LEFT OFF/SONGS ID SKIP
        “Right Now” – David Guetta can go. All his shit sounds the same now
        “Stay”- 0_o
        “Love Without Tragedy”
        Get It Over With – Everyone must’ve been high that day
        “Lost In Paradise”
        “Half of Me”
        “Diamonds” (Gregor Salto Remix)

        Overall…..I still hate it. I tried. If this shit flops, girl, you had it coming. I’m ready for #8

      • RIH,,,,,,Know that in Life,,
        It’s okay. It’s okay to want someone you can’t have. It’s okay to want something more. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt, and it’s okay to stay mad at someone who hurt you. Believe it or not, it’s always going to be okay. That’s just how it works. Sometimes things don’t work out how you want them to, and most of the time, it seems like they never will. But eventually, everything is going to iron out some way or another. You just have to believe, keep your faith, and move on.

        PS
        Keep the faith and stay the course, it’s only going
        to get better as time goes on.

        There are going to be days when you won’t have the energy or drive to get out of bed. There are going to be days when you’re going to want to give up – give up on love, life, or school. The thing is, you’re not allowed to give up. You were given a life and you’re supposed to live it. The truth is the seventy or eighty years that you’re given isn’t long enough to do the things you’re supposed to do. Sure, you’re gonna hit a few bumps along the way, but you’ve got to pick yourself up and move on. Life is unpredictable and things might not always work out the way you want them to, but that’s no reason to give up.

    Listening again to the snippets, surprisingly most of the uptempo songs are garbage. The ballads are better. It’s time for that from her because she’s been winning for so long with uptempo songs.

    Report this comment

    • she won’t win with those ballads tho , if “CKB” couldn’t be a #1 then no ballad/slow song from this one gonna hit #1 or even see the top 5 !!

      and CB bein’ in there will make this album FLOP hard !!

      Report this comment

      • Diamonds isn’t a ballad, but it’s slow/mid-tempo and it’s Top 5. It will surprise the f*ck out of me if releasing the video/SNL promo doesn’t push it to number 1. That CB collaboration is just sad. She can have every seat in Satan’s amphitheater for playing that card again, and he can sit down right next to her for all I care.

        So fucking what if they couldn’t go to #1 on BB200?

        What does matter to you more, being #1 and dropping off the charts the next day (ex: PF:RR) or selling 1.7 million there (LOUD)???

        @FAF

        Ha$hee$ha’s new single is so commercial, it’s all about the same “I am the trashy, dirty, drunk party girl who smells like piss” shit all over again we’ve been hearing since “I Gotta Feeling”. Unline “Diamonds”, which is a classical on which Rihanna shows vocal growth and talent.

        The good times and the BAD TIMES both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to MINIMIZE YOUR OWN PAIN you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an IMPORTANT THING to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end. That it won’t get better. Because it will.

      TBH this doesn’t SOUND as rushed as TTT. Most of the snippets seem to have some substance which is what her last album lacked. There seems to be SOME clear cohesion and the overall tone of it is consistent.
      I didn’t care for the uptempo songs or the ones with superficial lyrics though.

        Navy and many people around the globe
        love her music. You can often time hear
        her beautiful voice in the mall on the boat
        and blasting in cars or on a cruise. Her voice
        is very Unique and Different and Perhaps that is
        what the Haters can’t deal with, well if that be the

      I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I’m not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I’m all too familiar with what it feels like to hurt. I know what it’s like to see something funny and not laugh. I’ve been taken advantage of and used. My feelings have been completely disregarded, but I still believe all people are good at heart, and my trust has not diminished. To be honest, I hope it never does

      From the very first moment, “Diamonds” presents itself as something entirely different from anything on the radio: It’s not the killer club cut many might have been expecting from the “We Found Love” songstress–instead, it’s a gorgeously soulful, triumphantly striding midtempo.

        want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don’t want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and soda cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.

        Even the beat itself doesn’t feel like a “typical” Stargate or Benny Blanco production (just listen to Ke$ha‘s own Benny Blanco-produced comeback track from two days ago.) Instead, it’s a gorgeous dose of swagger (hearing Kanye West‘s “Flashing Lights”) meets soul (hearing subtle shades of Jessie Ware, Sade and Blood Orange, of Sky Ferreira‘s “Everything is Embarrassing”) that feels endlessly repeatable.

        Gurl bye. She did NOT sell 37 million albums worldwide. Replace that 3 with a 2. Where are the receipts?
        Only 5 months before the release of RR she was awarded a plaque for selling 12 million albums ww.
        RR sold ABOUT 3.5 million
        LOUD sold NEARLY 7 milliion
        TTT sold ABOUT 3.8 million.
        How does that add up to 37 million?

        Report this comment

      • Including 12 million sold digitally.

        Digital sales are not released by record labels, are not counted as “Album Copies” after the first week of release, nor certified, nor included on Year/decade-end charts.

        For example, “B’day” had sold 7 million as of Feb 2008 and probably it is at 9 million now if you count digital sales.

      No matter what circumstances life throws in your direction, you have to believe that you can handle it. It’s really about our perception. There’s no such thing as a bad circumstance. All those things we perceive as bad are actually real growing experience in life. You have to see that everything that happens to you has come into your life for a reason, an we are challenged in life because that’s what life is all about. Life’s about how we deal with those challenges.

      Being a bitch means: I stand up for myself and my beliefs. I stand up for those I love. I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my way. I won’t compromise what’s in my heart, I live my life my way. I won’t allow anyone to step on me, I refuse to tolerate injustice. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be me. So try to stomp on, douse my inner flame, squash every ounce of beauty I hold within. You won’t succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it.

    this bitch want to be BAD so BAD

    bad is not having to say “i’m a bad bitch n****” every 5 minutes

    Being bad isn’t going back to a man that BEAT YOUR ASS

    Being bad isn’t having other people writer your songs

    Being BAD isn’t going on stage and sounding a fucking mess *well yeah it is lol*

    Being Bad isn’t being a slut and over paid model. NO TALENT.

      • Rihanna’s Diamonds,,,,,
        Mark my words: By the time she’s 40, Rihanna will have released 5,400 singles. In just a few weeks, she’s dropping her 7th album since 2005 (here’s a recap of her previous releases), which means we’ll be getting another batch of songs to make sure she’s perpetually in our ears.“Diamonds,” the first track from the new album, just appeared today, and it sounds like yet another smash.And here’s the best part: Unlike Ke$ha’s new song, which I dissed for sounding too much like her other material, “Diamonds” is a step in a different direction. Yes, it’s co-produced by Stargate, who have been delivering Rihanna hits since “Umbrella,” and yes, it’s got the electro sound that Rihanna herself helped popularize. But still, the song is not a lazy copy of what’s come before.
        For one thing, Rihanna practically sounds like a different vocalist. She sings the song—about how she and her lover are pulsing like “diamonds in the sky”—in a low register she hasn’t used on any of her other singles. Her voice is so husky that she almost sounds like she has a cold, and it gives “Diamonds” a certain… sobriety? Calmness? There’s something moody about the vocal, but it’s more contemplative than seductive. This is a track for the middle of the night, when you’re a tired but still want to move.

      Definitely a departure from the Talk That Talk era!
      But that’s okay!
      Because we’re still feeling it…HARD!

      In fact, we’ll be curious to hear how this new direction influences the rest of the music Rih has in the works for us!

        Though it’s still built around a hypnotic beat and shimmery keyboard, “Diamonds” sounds more like the kind of song you would put on after the club, as you stumble out and into the moonshine to “find light in the beautiful sea.” More spare and understated than the yellow diamond strewn “We Found Love,” it gives Rihanna space to take the lead and play. This sort of light experimentation makes us wonder if this seventh might be an album where Rihanna takes the reigns of her sound and does more than just make us dance.

      • Rihanna’s Diamonds,,,,,,
        “Diamonds” was produced by “Only Girl (In the World)” team Stargate, but the new tune deviates from the dance thump on “Girl” and “We Found Love.” Instead, it offers a more slowed and subdued production with Rihanna’s vocals at the forefront. The pop star sings about a sublime relationship where her and a lover “shine bright like a diamond” together. Rihanna delivers a very raw and earnest vocal performance on the Sia-penned song as her voice reaches its upper register. Even though Rihanna releases new albums like there’s no tomorrow, the pop singer manages to change up her sound with “Diamonds.” There’s definitely not a hint of the song that seems like it was slapped together last minute.

        Rihanna strikes back with the lead single off of her seventh studio album. “Diamonds,” is produced by Stargate, who have produced many hit records together including “Unfaithful,” “What’s My Name,” “Rude Boy,” and “Don’t Stop The Music.” This sounds like the connection between the Norwegian producers and the starlet have another hit on their hands with the powerful, “Diamonds.” Taking a slight step away from the party music that dominated the success of her previous album, Talk That Talk

    • Rihanna’s Diamond’s,,,,,,
      Rihanna has never been singular in her sound who would have dreamed up “We Found Love” after hearing “Pon De Replay”? and so no surprise she’s trying on yet another sound for this seventh round. “Diamonds,” the “hippy and happy” first single off of upcoming seventh album, finds Rihanna taking the tempo down a tic and singing bright like, well, a diamond. Produced by longtime Rihanna collaborators Stargate and written by Sia, “Diamonds” is shimmery and elegant as the title suggests it should be, and without any clear reference to Chris Brown.

      • Rihanna’s Diamonds,,,,,,
        I appreciate that Stargate and co-producer Benny Blanco maintain a mid-tempo pace throughout. I’d expect a song that begins this slowly to eventually get frantic, like “We Found Love,” but it maintains a relaxed vibe, relying on strings as much as synths to make an impact. And of course, this adds to the sense that “Diamonds” is for heavier moments in the night.

        Now, I’m not saying this song will forever change our understanding of Rihanna, but it adds another facet to her career. It mixes things up just enough to demand attention, but not so much that we get confused. And let’s be honest: That’s what Rihanna’s brand of pop music is for. It’s supposed to be intriguing and accessible, a little bit smart and a little bit mindless all at once,,,,

      Everything you have been told is a lie. Things don’t happen for a reason. They just occur and you must deal with it, good or bad. People will always leave you because the potential for better is there thanks to the media. They do not care if they have to step on top of you to get to euphoria. Everybody has somebody they use. And everybody, everybody lies. They all get mad and say things they don’t mean. But once they are said, they are out there, unable to be shoved back down your throat. Watch your tongue, but even more importantly, watch your back. There is always someone standing there ready to stab you

      For some reason, before I even pressed play on Rihanna’s new song “Diamonds,” I just knew I would like it. Maybe it was the diamonds in her roll-up on the cover art for the mid-tempo single or the fact that Ri Ri has no problems creating hit after hit, whatever is was, my intuition proved true. “Diamonds” is exactly the hazel-eyed beauty explained–”hippie and about “love.”

    I’m sorry but I can NAWT with you hoes tryna say this album is rushed.

    -When Talk That talk only had 10 tracks on the standard edition, it was not rushed.

    -When Talk That Talk did not even have a singer to do backup vocals for half the song so ester dean’s demo vocals were left in You Da One, Talk That Talk, We all want love, Farewell, Cockiness and Roc Me Out it was not rushed.

    -When #TTT was recording in hotel rooms next to cabinets of achohol it was not rushed but this is.

      People spend their whole lives trying to live up to other people’s expectations and being told what to do. I say, screw that. Be free. Do what you want, go where you want, and reach for the sky because life has no limits or boundaries. Boundaries are just other people’s fears, and limits are just other people’s expectations. You only get one chance to do all the things that life offers you. Have no enemies, no regrets, no fears and then you’ll really have lived life.

  • I’ll say it, Fresh out the Runway just feels so Bey inspired! I honestly thought Rihanna had more edge to her, but that was really forced! I guess she’s no longer soooo hard!

    Love with out tragedy – I’m so sick of people dropping Marilyn Monroe’s name. It’s played now! This is actually very meh … It sounds like one of those songs pretentious people will try to make more out of than there actually is.

    Lost in Paradise – is not bad! See, ya’ll thought this was going to be all hate. This one has something to it.

    Loveeeeeeee – This feels honest. It’s the best track! The way she’s singing and everything has more passion.

    The good thing about this is that it doesn’t sound like Gaga, Ke$ha(who I like), Katy music , etc … but this sounds like TTT 2.0 so far! That album was all kinds of confusion.

    Rihanna is trying so hard to be hood, rockstar and trendy. I need her to take her time and give me something real. She can be versatile(somewhat), that’s great – but it’s like her music doesn’t ever have any sincerity. If it did Rihanna would own her own lane. It’s kind of frustrating … I’m probably not going to like this girl until she either stop following trends or until she’s probably not on the charts anymore and making music that doesn’t have a formula to it. You hear 3 songs from Rihanna and you heard them all, but there’s actually more to her. I just think she’s scared to do it right now!

I hate the first 5 tracks (except Numb). The order of the album would easily give you a bad impression right away. I’m glad those songs are all together because the Navy I know will be playing this album and I can just excuse myself until song #6 plays.

        I’m officially impressed with Numb, Jump, Right Now (Maybe), What Now, Stay, Get It Over with, Lost in paradise (No Love Allowed can grow on me). It’s the most songs I ever like on a Rihanna album. It’s getting there! Good for her!

        The album is a 7/10. I respect it!

You’ll lose best friends you thought would always be there. You’ll come to realize that everyone has a past. You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, and you’ll embarrass yourself. But then, you’ll find your very own moment where none of that matters; where you can sit back and realize that shit happens to the people who can handle it and that this is who you are, and that no one should want to change you, including yourself.

    I love this album. HER BEST. NO wonder the haters are fuming.

    Numb with em is so sexy – cannot wait to hear EM spit, sounds so Janet jackson. I love the song where she acting like n****, the crunked up song . Ja rule and Ashanti done thug love NYC style, now bad gal riri done trap love with that n****, futere. Future killed it. The swag is kray.

    Rih raps, does reggae, rock, pop, rnb and ballads in one whole album. Ciara wishes she had an album as diverse as this.

    LOL LOL Rita Ora must be crying right now. She is struggling with shina ya light and Rih swag / personality on this LP blows her shit to hell. Rih just make Rita look like an elderly white woman from England, which is what she is. How can Rita copy now? I love the mix of chop and screw on the Slim shady track. Man she sounds so sexy on the Em track – the baseline.

    I feel sorry for Rita. She must be so fucking angry right now.

    And HOW DARE this TALENTLESS BITCH mention the LEGENDARY JAMES DEAN & MARILYN MONROE in “FLOP without tragedy”? Is she seriously comparing her OBSESSION with FISTopher, or as she calls it “LOVE, to the tragic lives of MM & JD???????

    SLUT, PLEASE: You’re the one who continues to LICK the PUBIC HAIRS of the man who KNOCKED YOU THE FUCK OUT… M.M never HELD onto the COCK of men who BEAT her ass and FISTopher ain’t no James Dean either. You WISH you had a SHIT STAIN of the TALENT that they had.

    KIIIIIIIIIIIII.

    ___

    HOWEVER, “Lost in Paradise” sounds COOL. ;)

    • Rih ,,,,,
      You’re still young. Don’t make your life miserable by thinking about problems. Instead, always think that in every problem there’s a solution and everything will be okay. Do what you think is right. Take risks, try new things, laugh and live as if there’s no tomorrow, for the next years of your life you’ll have no choice but to be more responsible. So enjoy while you’re still young and vibrant.
      People always think that happiness is a faraway thing, something complicated and HARD TO GET. Yet, what little things can make it up… a place of shelter when it rains, a cup of strong hot coffee when you’re blue; for a man, a cigarette for CONTENTMENT; a book to read when you’re alone, or just to be with someone you love. Those things make HAPPINESS.

    • Rihanna know that ,,,,
      It is completely normal to fear failure, to fear rejection, to fear the future, but it should never stop you from accomplishing a dream, making a friend, or confessing your love. Nothing is for certain and anything can happen. Isn’t that what makes life exciting? Not knowing what will happen next and even though people will tell you it is impossible, will point and laugh at your ways, and will crush your heart over and over again, you will continue to chase your dreams, make as many friends as possible, and pray that when you do find that special someone, they will blush for a moment, twiddle their thumbs, and look into your eyes and say, “I love you too.”
      What they say, life goes on, is mostly true. The mail is delivered, and the christmas lights go up and down from the houses, and the ladders get put away, and you open yet another box of cereal. In time, the volume of my feelings would be turned down in gentle increments to near quiet, and yet the record would still spin, always spin.

  • If i were some members of the NAVY i would honestly download the album online instead of purchasing it..i bought GGGB, Rated R, and Loud..was pretty happy with those purchases but why buy a horrible album when you can save your coins for something else?

    Im predicting under 180,000 in first week sales..AC/DC is gonna be number 1
    If Nicki beats Rihanna on the charts that is going to be very embarassing for Rihanna!!

    • Rihanna,,,,,knows that
      Being a teenage girl means: Looking as hot as hell to just walk the dog, listening to your iPod while you dance in your underwear, randomly singing your favorite song, sleeping until 2pm, giving makeovers to all your friends, tanning on the roof, waving to people out of the sun-roof of your car, buying jewelry you will never wear from Claire’s, saying girly words all the time (like omg and whatever!), wearing short skirts, pushing your best friend into the pool, screaming “you’re hott!” out the car window to a boy, taking pictures with all your friends, jumping on your bed while talking on the phone, staying up all night just to regret it the next day, stalking a hot guy at the mall with your friends, taking a story and turning it into some huge scene.

      Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, and fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get more than you ever imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.

    THEY pretend to hate this LP, but this is the best LP of 2012. I am sorry ( no I am not ) Brandy’s album is crap bland RNB.

    Rita Ora’s LP? iS ONE REJECTED RATER R hot mess/

    Lana and emelie have good albums –

    Judging by the singles I have heard from Keyshia Cole and Ciara, they are coming out with same shitty- my – man – cheated – on me RNB from 1997.

    NOPE! there is no black girl, in 2012 that has an album as good as this. I cannot wait for the videos – I hope she releases 4 singles.
    The CB singles is groovy it reminds me of that Justin Timberlake song dance for me boy ” ” Got to have you nekkid by the end of this song ”

    This LP shits on Loud and TTT and is a step up from GGGB and Rated R.

      Get it over with sounds EXACTLY LIKE SOME OF JANETS SEXY TRACKS ON VELVET ROPE. I think Pharelle done the beat, I hear him in the backgrounds. So grown and sexy.

      Rita Ora thought she was reagge, but a real black woman from Barbados came and schooled her how Reagge is done.

      • What song did Ciara EVER say my man cheated?

        U a self-hating pressed bitter FLOP …

        bland R&B??? That music Rishitta has no vocals for so she has to go pop? That she sucked dick to be #1 on the charts for so billboard changed the rules so Diamond could finally go #1 somewhere?

        try as u might, that single climbing on itunes its #67 already ! KI !

      Exactly, they’re pretending to hate, they want her to fail so bad but even they know this is the best album Rihanna has crafted ever. This album shows what a versatile artist Rihanna is and they are pretending to hate but we both know they’ll be rocking to Numb as soon as the album drops.

      • Bitch, Beyoncé sold 2.5kk selling only R&B songs and pregnant. 2.5 fucking million. Your fave struggled to do that with a bunch of generic dance songs and discounts. King Bee’s on studio right now recording some smashes. Oh! Don’t forget that she’s going to write history next year, she has Super Bowl on her agenda and a Pepsi deal. She has two big things and her new single wasn’t even released yet.

        How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much time to spare. How people make promises, and bear their souls to someone despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives ‘cause it’s just easier then working things out.

    Anyway, her fans love it, Def jam are gonna promote the hell out of and we will all buy it cos, Rih can sing ABC and will still go platinum. SHE ALREADY HAS A GLOBAL NUMBER 1 OF THIS LP. WHERE ARE THE NUMBER 1 HITS FROM BRANDY OR RITA ORA’S LP?

    WHERE WAS THE NUMBER 1 FROM 4 BY OLD FAT BEYONCE?

  • The only interesting song on here is Lost in paradise. rest of the album sounds a mess, bye rih. fast food music, keep releasing your albums annually. Maybe you’ll get a number 1 this time around (but you probably won’t)

      Follow your heart and do what you feel is right, not what other people tell you to do. Fall in love, take a chance, and hope the other person feels the same. Love is a risk. It could bring either pleasure or pain, sometimes both. Life is a gamble, and you never know what it’ll bring.

    • Soooooooo,,,,Haters
      I don’t understand how you can smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy. Or when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you’d do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know letting go of something is best for you, it hurts just the same.

      Sometimes there is nothing to be said. Sometimes nothing should be said. I just want to find someone who won’t run away. Someone to look me in the eyes and tell me it’s okay. that things don’t always go right. That is how life works, and how it will always work. That it’s not going to be easy. Today, Tomorrow, the next day, but it will somehow get better.

        I’m a straight forward kinda girl. If you ask me what im thinking I’ll tell you, no sugar coating. Cause thats not what life’s about. It’s about dealing with the pain that comes along. So if you are going to tell me how you feel, don’t lie. If I ask something, I want to know the truth, not the lie.

        You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there the ones who laugh the hardest with the genuine smile,those are the ones who have fought the hardest battles. Because they have decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

    Hmm. So I’ve given the album a listen and it’s overall rubbish. …but with a few exceptions:
    1) no love allowed
    2) what now (I actually love love this)
    3) the song with Chris Brown
    4) half of me (my fav and it’s thanks to the brilliant emeli sande for her writing skills) rihanna’s best song yet!

    The maybes/ok songs:
    1) fresh off the runway (coz I’m a bit high right now and the rap sounded good)
    2) get over it (for the same reason as the first song)
    3) lost in paradise (like the beat)

    So out of the 5000 songs on her album to have only 4 standouts and 3 album fillers is a bad thing! !! This was your redemption album after the hot cheetto mess that was TTT the flopuluous one
