Description

Rihanna’s humble beginnings from Barbados to the international stardom Jay-Z and his record label Def Jam produced has given Rihanna a chance to captivate the music industry. She’s even become Barbados’ honorary cultural ambassador, and has her own ‘Rihanna Day’ national holiday.

With her highly successful R&B and pop tracks, such as ‘Distrubia’ and ‘Umbrella’, Rihanna has sold over 12 million albums in four years. Rated R will be the first album of Rihanna’s to have a parental warning, which gives the album’s ‘Rated R’ name more poignancy.

She’s got an angrier side expressed in the album with Ne-Yo, a major producer and co-writer, saying Rated R will be “something a little darker, something a little edgier, something a little more morbid.”

The album also pulls in stars like Justin Timberlake in ‘Cold Case Love’ (shaking fists at Chris Brown), and will-i-am with ‘Photographs’ (an acoustic guitar and heavy bass beats). She’s got a lot to say, and a newer, grittier attitude toward it all.

    Fabulous. I can shake my booty to it whilst cooking, prance around whilst getting ready to go out, sing along at the top of my voice in the car, vent my frustrations in love...
    Plenty of hit tracks, cool collaborations, great photos in inlay.
    Buy it.

      Comments about UMGD/DEF JAM RIHANNA - Rated R:

      Rihanna further establishes herself as one of the biggest stars on the planet with her fourth album 'Rated R'. Overall, this album doesnt quite stack up against 'Good Girl Gone Bad' however it still contains some potential smash hits, namely: Hard, Rude Boy and FireBomb and also provides us with some insight directly related to the whole Chris Brown mess through the songs 'Stupid In Love' and 'Cold Case Love'. Overall, a great album that caters to a fairly diverse audience.

      Comments about UMGD/DEF JAM RIHANNA - Rated R:

      Rihanna offers us a great new album, very different from what we are used to hear from her. The atmosphere is darker, less pop. Of course, Rihanna is also known for is huge hits and Rated R is full of hits : Hard, Rude Boy, Wait Your Turn...It's a good evolution!

        I would say that this is her best album. The songs are very personal.
        Nice to listen to her voice again after the incident last year.
        I can listen to the songs all day long.

        Good. Love some tracks which are abit sad and moody, not sure about those hardrock stuffs from her yet-feels like not so like her and not so original. But afterall, love her very much.

        Service and delivery comments:

        Satisfy with the price
        Alittle slow delivery and came with little crack on the case.
        Free delivery-what im so happy about!
        Thanks for a great service!!

        Comments about UMGD/DEF JAM RIHANNA - Rated R:

        Its quite differant from her usual styles and you cant knock some of the brilliant songs like fire bomb; but i still think there is something missing from this album. It seems like alot of these songs are more balards and dont seems to follow on from what made good girl gone bad a great album. It still good but not great.

            I usually love Rhianna but was dissapointed with this album, not that it's bad, there are just no songs that amaze me, if you like Rhianna you will still enjoy but don't expect to be wowed.

            I feel this is a very varied product from Rihanna. I do not like all the songs but this is personal taste. I have 2 favourites on the CD.
            Even on the tracks i'm not so keen on the way they have been written is very good.
