What a disappointment. As much as I love Rihanna, I think she should take a year long break (at least) after her Diamonds tour is over and let her writers/producers recharge their batteries (teehee). I sort of feel as though her music is being shoved down our throats recently, 'Unapologetic' is a poor effort. I find it rather irritating that she is already sharing information on a potential re-release for 2013, give it a rest love!

I don't get the love for 'Right Now'...
EDIT: I thought Rihanna naming her album 'Unapologetic' was a witty dig at her women beating ex-boyfriend... but I hear they're back together?! This post has been edited by Slowpoke: 26th November 2012, 08:48 PM |

Yeah! She said in an interview that she had loads of material for this album but couldn't fit it all on one disc *headspin*

Nobody's Business is now confimed to be second single.... good track in my opinion... but bad collaboration. reminds me of Whitney and Bobby 'Something in common'.... |

Really? Quite disappointed, it's good but Stay is the obvious choice. Then again, she wasn't going to release a ballad after a dark-ish midtempo lead single so an uptempo was probably always going to happen, I'd have prefered Jump and probably Right Now, not that Nobody's Business is bad (it's a great, catchy song), I just think she could go better than releasing a Chris Brown collab.

Ugh. I don't know what I hate more. How they pronounce 'business' in that song, the song itself or the fact it's the new single. :/

I like the song, but it definitely shouldn't be a single. Also, am I the only person that it feels incomplete (like the original "Birthday Cake") with the faded-out ending?

me problem is with the "Business" part of the song.It´s a good song, but I don´t know if Chris is popular enough to avoid alineating her fanbase.I still think Jump or right now are better single material

LMAO. I love the cover that's used in that video still
 (Well I don't "love" it obviously, but I like irony of it's use!*vomit* What an awful song! I really don't like it and I really despise the whole "business" pronunciation thing. Awful single choice imo. Really should have been something else like 'Right Now' (it'd be a hit!), 'What Now' or 'Lost In Paradise' (  ). 'Stay' can be kept for the Feb/March award ceremonies..

I´ve read that Pour it up is the next single...of all the songs that have been said to be the next single, it´s clearly the worst!!!!

Yesterday Digitalspy were reporting that 'Pour It Up' was the next single but today they're saying it's 'Stay' and that's what Capital FM are saying too so probably right.

Right, after some long delays involving things getting sent to the wrong place - I've finally been able to listen to Unapologetic (I'm always late with Rihanna albums, this must be a tradition despite my loondom). It has some REALLY good tracks and a few average tracks, so probably on the same level as Talk That Talk in terms of overall quality...
So first listen ratings and thoughts because I want to: 9.0 Phresh Out The Runway - YES, love this track's attitude and it's exactly the sort of kooky intro I want. 11.0 Diamonds - Still excellent. 8.5 Numb - A promising collab with Eminem - in the better half of the album just about. The LTWYL reference made me smile. 7.0 Pour It Up - A little average, so I'm glad it's not the next single. 9.0 Loveeeeee Song - A general THEME for this album is that the uptempo tracks are far worse than the midtempos/ballads - which explains her singles choice to me at least. This track exemplifies that. 8.0 Jump - Nice track, nothing overly special. 7.5 Right Now - Rihanna/Guetta tracks are always less good than my expectations for them - so not TOO impressed with this. But a score lower than 7.5 wouldn't be right because a) I'm a loon and b) it is mildly enjoyable regardless. Could be a grower though. 8.5 What Now - Rather good, this album does leap between good and average-ish tracks a lot, really. 10.0 Stay - Beautiful, partly as expected, but pretty clear that it's a good choice for the second single. Will continue listening to this a LOT. 5.0 Nobody's Business - Awkward, sounds cheap but one redeeming factor is that Chris Brown is not as bad as he could have been and Rihanna still buoys it up. Still the weakest track on the album. 10.0 Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary - I LOVE THIS. Probably going to become a Rihanna classic for moi - the Love Without Tragedy part is slightly stronger but both are really good. 7.5 Get It Over With - A little bit anonymous. 8.5 No Love Allowed - Enjoyable but not GREAT. Catchy and a little bit more 'Bajan' than the rest, always good. 9.5 Lost In Paradise - Excellent closer for the normal edition, really into these dancey midtempos from her. 9.0 Half Of Me - Good bonus track, should really be on the main album So overall it's not solid gold all the way through and doesn't really have much cohesion.. but it's a Rihanna album so for me it has several excellent tracks that make it one of the better albums of the year. Unless she turns out 11 Nobody's Businesses I doubt I'll hate something she puts out. On a level with Talk That Talk atm. [/latereview] |
