Pop superstar Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, was without a doubt her biggest CD yet. And the re-release of it, with three extra tracks, has been even more successful. Of course, there is no mystery as to why. The answer can be summed up in one word: "Disturbia". This jumpy tune, and its catchy synth beat, are taking the nation by storm at the moment--but the rest of the album (including the songs from last year) cannot be overlooked in "Disturbia"'s wake.
Overall this is a very solid pop/R&B album, with a mix of energetic dance tracks and wispy slow jams, and of course "Umbrella" which falls somewhere in between. "Question Existing" was one of her more emotional and interesting cuts, but it hasn't been released as a single yet, so not as many people can appreciate it. "Rehab" and the title track are the best ballads on the CD, along with "Take A Bow", which shot up to #1 on the charts early this past summer.
Rihanna herself has a very high voice which is capable of a decent belt, even if it may be a bit whiny. What is important is that it is identifiable and stands out. She collaborates here with Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, and Maroon 5 and has two tracks produced by the legendary Timbaland. These songs are standouts, and considering that she's only 20, it's an impressive lineup to be working with.
The album is far from perfect, mind you. There are a couple tracks ("Say It" and "Push Up On Me") that get pretty annoying and repetitive quickly and unfortunately they do bring the rest down a bit. There is also an excess of ballads all together, which becomes sluggish and boring even though the songs are good on their own.
Now that Rihanna is truly a superstar thanks to getting a new image and releasing this, her biggest album yet, here's hoping that she'll continue with the success, and hopefully learn to shed some of the more irritating aspects along the way.
Free Music Review: Rihanna goes bad (not in a negative way)
Hit: 3 Stars
Rihanna was never the strongest singer. She never tried to be something she wasn't. She is a pop singer and sometimes an R&B singer. I didn't really listen to any of the songs from the original "Good Girl Gone Bad" but I decided to listen to it when she re-released it. I guess she wanted to release more singles so she gave us a 2nd helping of the 2007 album. The new songs are pretty good. Ne-Yo wrote her song (by himself this time) "Take A Bow" which could be a ripoff of Madonna's song "Take A Bow." it has similar lyrics and is a ballad. "Disturbia" is another great new song which seems to be about mental illness (Britney, anyone?). I like the new songs better than some of the songs on the original album, but I still find "Push Up On Me" to be addictive. Overall I'd say this is Rihanna's best album. She has a long way to go before making a perfect or classic album, but this definately helps her reputation more. I still give props to Rihanna for delivering fun singles that we can dance or sing along to.
