Rihanna’s New Album
The newest CD from Rihanna is so different from anything else she has produced in her career. She was just a regular pop music singer with the same dull background music that anyone else has. She had attitude but a playful style too. But her newest album is the first since the February incident that has made her and Chris Brown the center of the domestic violence discussion. In the CD the first few songs are kind of typical, with a woman in her prime, at the top of her career, famous. Then somewhere around the middle, she sings a song about being stupid. The voice in the song went back to a man who was bad to her and she declares herself stupid. It’s a shocking amount of candor and insight for a performer who hasn’t been much about the “deep” lyrics, preferring instead typical love songs. Perhaps she has some real artist inside!
