Rihanna is back with Talk that Talk and she’s landed with a bigger sex drive than ever.
I like Rihanna. I generally find her songs catchy and I think she’s a babe. I don’t mind that she’s uber sexual in life and music. That being said, I don’t get how Hollywood transforms girls from virginal kitty cats to sex mavens over night, especially when fans aren’t making that transformation either at all or at a completely different pace.
Also, didn’t she just came out with an album less than a year ago? I get she can drop albums often because she’s popular and that’s how you make money. However, if you’re going to drop an album shortly after another, and expect people to want to spend more money on you, shouldn’t it be more of a gem? Maybes that’s a silly question: quantity over quality.
It’s not a bad album but a lot of it is quickly forgettable. The album actually starts off really strong with the best tracks on it: You Da One, Where Have You Been (my favourite song…I’ve been listening to it on repeat, love it), and We Found Love (featuring Calvin Harris. Other standouts are the ballads “Drunk on Love” and “Fool in Love”, “Roc me Out” which reminds me of “Rude Boy”, and “Talk that Talk” featuring a mediocre intro by Jay Z. All of the other songs are just ok or bad.
I guess I shouldn’t be complaining about it being a bad album; most albums only have so many good songs anyways right?
