Unapologetic
is Rihanna’s seventh studio album and honestly to me the most disappointing.
I am not
counting her first two albums I’m speaking from her career changing “Good Girl
Gone Bad” album. Since that time all of her albums have had pop, rock, and a
slight island feel. Each album has grown in popularity to the point where she
is now one of those artists who can sell albums off name recognition.
Her new
album is off to a good start already number 1 on ITunes and will surely give
her the stat she has been lacking…a number 1 album. Diamonds for me was a great
choice as a headlining single because it was so much different from what were
used to hearing from her. This song was much more laid back, mellow, and displayed
a Rihanna who has been working on her vocals. Listening to this album just
reminded me of how sick I am of hearing the house music theme in pop music. Overall,
the album is a DJ’s dream because he can choose what songs to mix at the club
but for those that are looking for growth and something new from Rihanna…this
album is not it. There are a few stand out tracks on this album that is worth a
listen. The lead single Diamonds is great along with “Stay”, “Loveeeee Song”,
and the very catchy “Nobody’s Business” with Chris Brown.
