‘To those who think they can take it; welcome to the mad house’ A Thriller-esq voice speaks at the very start of the record. This short introduction already seems so far from Good Girl Gone Bad and it’s exciting.
With her previous album having such great success, this album seemed a long time coming though it has only been a year. A year is long enough it seems, as a new side of Rihanna is shown on the album. With the debut single ‘Russian Roulette’ giving some clue to the change, the rest take the same turn.
A much slower and serious tone shoots through the album, with much more focus on her voice and lyrics rather than the tune. Ech song has it’s hook that makes you want to listen over and over. With electronic effects and pianos throughout, this new, much darker side of Rihanna is extremely impressive. She has matured and so has her music.
