In 5 years, Rihanna has had 4 multiplatinum albums and now with the release of her 5th album "Loud" the 22 year old singer has also scored her 8th #1 single a duet with Drake called "What's my name?"

"Loud" picks up from last years deep dark "Rated R" album. This album is a lot lighter and more fun. It leaves you wanting more, with each album Rihanna becomes more confident, continues to be sexy and very natural with progression. She's undefeated by her circumstances and finds redemption within her music.
Rihanna has been developed into one of the most revered names in Pop Music and continues to blossom.

The first single off of "Loud" was "only girl in the world" which is still riding high on the charts. The second single "What's my name?" featuring Drake has already taken over the #1 spot. The third single being prepped is the very sexy club banger "S&M". The album also features guests spots by Nicki Minaj, Drake and Eminem.

Rihanna's vocal growth and growth as an artist is shown in the songs "Complicated" and "California king Bed" both powerful ballads. She pushes her limits vocally and her Barbadian accent is always present.This album does not disappoint, and will do well on the charts as well for her career.

Next up for Rihanna is her first motion picture called "Battleship" as well as a new world tour in the works. "Loud" is a WBM certified album, make sure to get a copy.

Rated R(eview)

Rihanna RATED R - if you're expecting the happy, sexy, yet still vulnerable RIHANNA back in the "UMBRELLA" era. She's long gone, the new RIHANNA is strong and not taking any s&*!. She isn't afraid to take chances and this whole album is taking one big chance. Some of the material might alienate some fans but to her die hard fans who've supported her from day one she's still the delivering good music.

The album starts off with a creepy sounding interlude titled MAD HOUSE and quickly leads into WAIT YOUR TURN the 2nd single off of RATED R. "Stupid in love" is an r&b ballad that's screaming to become a single. Rihanna is known for her power ballads, RATED R is full of electronica dance pop tunes with heavy on the guitar riffs. There's a lot of vocal growth and maturity in the songs on RATED R especially on the song "Photographs".

Rihanna executive produced the album and co-wrote most of the material. Usually albums have filler tracks, but RATED R has 13 solid songs. With the song "G4L" she's setting it straight you don't mess with her and get away with it. RIHANNA has always been one step ahead of the game, this is where music is heading towards. She ends the album with "the last song" which is a powerful pop ballad. Rihanna has nothing to prove and makes it very clear she's here to stay.
