Rihanna: “Rated R” – The Review

November 24, 2009 Lance Drummonds 1 comment

I must say this album is very timely for me. The edginess of the lyrics, the darkness yet motivated production of the music, coupled with Rihanna’s voice does wonders for me right now. I think her album BANGS!! I’ve had it for over a week now and I have not stop listening to it. Some say it is too dark, but for me Rihanna is just a bad ass on this album. **Note: The Cursing is surprising, but just goes with the theme of this album, “Rated R.” – I’m a fan.

Favorite Track: “Cold Case Love”

Honorable Mention: “Photographs”

Alicia Keys – “Empire State of Mind (part 2.)”

WOW! This track is soooo fire! Again, this is why I look up to her and will continue to grind until I reach her level. I am in the studio as we speak and am just trying to reach another level, so that I can get to a point where I can introduce myself to Alicia and other artists I admire.

Sade – “Soldier of Love”

I kid you not, FEBRUARY 8TH can not come fast enough. Sade is one of the most respected, talented, and soothing artists that I’ve ever heard. Like I remember listening to her (via my mothers car tape player) and saying to myself as a young kid, “damn this song feels good.” SAVE THE DATE, she’s coming out with a new album and it’s going to be epic.
