Great Read On Rih Raw & Honest,
She's a hook singer.
Rihanna is one of the most successful ‘hook singers’ of all time. Perhaps it's the era we live in, in which the genres of dance, rap, and pop have all merged to form an ultimate song featuring Rihanna featuring Usher featuring David Guetta featuring Will.i.am featuring Pitbull featuring a random hook singer imported from Europe. Even Coldplay’s “Princess of China” has a Rihanna-sung hook, which could either be a testament to her ‘range of appeal’ or just indicative of the inescapable formula for modern pop. While most artists in a similar position would be accused of 'spreading themselves too thin' across so many collaborations, Rihanna is ‘lite’ enough that the dosage feels appropriate.
