This track :whew:


The fact she basically just covered a song that's not even an year old shows how creatively brain dead her team is
I find it a bit absurd honestly. It's a straight cover too, no different interpretation at all

I mean... Add something to it...

How you gonna rip a song 6 months old like that?

I'm a Tame Impala fan.. So maybe that's the fanboy in me... but fukk.

This album is cool! :ehh:

Some really good joints on here. Kiss It Better, Needed Me, Desperado, Yeah, I Said It, Same Ol Mistakes.

The slow joints on the album threw me off though. :francis:

after hearing work, i was like :whoo:

but the rest of the album sounds nothing like that. she trying to go for the meaningful songs route but that's not rihanna :heh:

she needs to stick to club bangers

wtf is this emo shyt :camby:

She has been doing "emo sht". Check out rated R. The album after the incident with chrisbrown.

You all must not have paid attention to her music until after drake or something.

This album was lovely.

Yep, whole discography is heat. First couple albums are a departure from Currents tho (spacier and psych elements)

Tame Impala is :noah:

and it's just one dude who writes, records, performs, and produces the studio albums :wow:

@Adam3000 Kevin Parker really made it :damn:

Rihanna bodied Drake on needed me.

I'm glad you're actually listening to it unlike many other males in here.

That one wasn't about Drake though. Her song about her relationship with drake was Work and another song.

Needed me dragged all of her flings. That would be Travis scott, that basketball player from l.a., the racecar driver, and maybe even leo dicaprio. But the l.a. baskebally player I'm sure of. Gloria govans ex husband.

I think one song was about CB too. Woo maybe.

& some songs were about the music industry. freedom, wanting love.

Most were about romantic relationships, which really weren't romantic. Mostly about flings and fcking.

Rihanna's fan base is basically every woman under the age of 30. She's a global artist. That is the only reason this is risky. As far as international star for women in music goes, Rihanna trails only Beyonce and Adele (she's bigger than Perry and Swift outside of North America).

What's crazy is that you all keep talking about artists being pop and selling out and then Rihanna follows Beyonce's example and just makes the album she wants (Beyonce last album only had one top 10 single) and now you guys are criticizing her for it. @Warren nikkas aint checking for Rihanna like that, but it was streaming for free on Tidal so :manny:

Rihanna didn't follow beyonce. Anti sounds nothing like beyonce. Beyonce's last album did sound like everything rihanna and everyone else had already made at the time.

Also, Rihanna has fans over 30, she is almost 30 herself. She will have even more older fans after this album.

Beyonce acually lost a lot of her older fans on her last album when she tried to keep up with Rih and the younger girls in music. Beyonce's 4 album and dangerously in love is the real her. Beyonce was her trying to be young, hip and fit in.

I like the Consideration song and James Joint is cool, it reminds me of an Internet song

This Kiss It Better song is kind of wack though
I agree. I don't understand why everyone likes that song. It was trending on twitter yesterday.
