In reply to Common Sense.

Some female pop artists at least try to sell some sort of ‘angle’ as the inspiration for every new album. Commonly accepted angles are 'celebration of new-found love', a recent breakup that led to personal independence, and sometimes sexual independence, but Rihanna’s work is mostly just about her commitment to staying popular with agreeable dance-floor jams. She's the last artist we'd expect to write a 'concept album.' Talk That Talk provides nothing revelatory or innovative, but those aren't things we expect from Rihanna,
as of Yet, and beside that RIHANNA is still Exploring and Learning new tricks of the Trade.
