Its tough to see Rihanna getting any great singles off this album after 'We Found Love'. She needs a break. Get in the studio and come back in 2013 ready to destroy the competition

Why should she give up on TTT? It has a few potential hits on there. Where Have You Been, Talk That Talk, We All Want Love, not to mention You Da One that will hopefully take off when the vid comes out.

Well, mostly because she's puking on stage but the album isn't well reviewed either. If she gets some decent remixed out she will be in a better position.

Got this for Christmas. :)

 

So far my favourites are 'Where Have You Been', 'Do Ya Thang' and 'Drunk On Love'.

I need answers!!!! #NEXTSINGLE #TTT

'Roc Me Out' is #1 trending and 'Talk That Talk' is #10 trending :o

Ok DONE!!!! I like what I see...and decisions are MADE!!! #NEXTSINGLE

 

Looks like 'RMO' will be the next single, I don't mind it but I'd rather 'WHYB' then 'RMO' then 'TTT' :( LOL

As long as it's not Talk That Talk, if it is I will CUT SOMEONE. It's just as horrifically overrated as WFL except not as good :(

Ok, Rih just confirmed 'Roc Me Out' isn't the next single.

 

BOOM!! @EpicRihanna

Cause non-fans are doing it so the good singles aren't released. u_u RT @aldotg: DEAD, Roc Me Out is a TT. Welp

Rihanna @rihanna

@EpicRihanna @aldotg lol! That won't be the next single

 

So it looks like its definitely 'Talk That Talk' sorry Liam :P

Thank GOD. 'Roc Me Out' is a poor man's 'Rude Boy'. At least 'Talk That Talk' brings something new to the table .... still any decision bar 'Where Have You Been' being a single is a completely stupid one!

please. no. not that. :( it's probably my least favourite on the album now, I can't get past jay-z's horrific rap on it. the chorus is good, but the rest is pretty meh.

my unreleased favourites on the album probably wouldn't make good choices for singles though. 'roc me out', while epic, is pretty much 'rude boy' mk.2, 'drunk on love' wouldn't really work and 'farewell' would probably be better on later in the year. so I'd go with the obvious 'where have you been' for the next single which is growing me at an incredibly fast rate. :wub:

she´s currently producing a video "Your da one"
so.. i guess there´s a single/video combination?

Right, I haven't got around to buying this album yet so I'm going to listen to it on Youtube and then rate the tracks.

 

You Da One - 6/10. It's a nice sweet happy little song, but, my god, it's SO annoying. Ruined further by her grabbing her crotch every 5 seconds in the video. This song had potential but it just wasn't marketed that well. It could have done well around Valentines time. It also looks like it might become her lowest peaking second single ever as well.

Where Have You Been - 10/10. One of the best things on this album and the energy the track has is amazing. I think this really needs to be a single...

We Found Love - 10/10. IMO, one of the best things she's ever recorded. Yes, there is a lot of "We found love in a hopeless place" but I don't really notice it too much and so it doesn't annoy me. Being so big, it's kinda acting like a bit of a curse though and overshadowing the next single.

Talk That Talk - 9/10. Another great track. It's difficult to describe but the song just works, well...

Cockiness (Love It) - 1/10. One of the worst songs by Rihanna, or anyone for that matter, I've ever heard. Completely unlistenable.

Birthday Cake - 0/10. Just why would you include a half finished song on Rihanna's sixth album. They shouldn't be able to get away with it. It just sort of fades out when she's singing. What a mess. I know there's now a full version out there but people have paid to listen to a half finished song.

We All Want Love - 6/10. A little dull but not unpleasant. It kind of reminds me of an inferior version of Say Hello To Goodbye by Shontelle.

Drunk On Love - 8/10. I also really like this one, for the sample and Te Amo feeling and she actually sings like she means it!

Roc Me Out - 8/10. This one's quite good and fun without being annoying.

Watch n’ Learn - 6/10. It's alright but a bit dull and forgettable.

Farewell - 8/10. Much better than We All Want Love from the slow songs album.

 

Seems a bit of an extreme album. I'm usually quite open minded when it comes to albums but I'm surprised how strongly I feel about some tracks.

 

If I end up getting the album, I'll probably go for the Deluxe one, in the hope there'll be a few more tracks that stand out to me. This album isn't weak by any means. Despite We Found Love, I really hope her management don't mess it up for her this era.

Well I'm not too sure they'll go with "Talk That Talk", the current urban single "You Da One" isn't doing amazing.
Doesn't mean 'Talk That Talk' won't do better. (Especially as it was more cherry picked than YDO at times, at the time of the albums release, after YDO was announced as the next single!)

 

I'm gutted 'Roc Me Out' isn't the next single! :( Really don't get the hate for that song. Been growing on me since the albums release. 'Talk That Talk' would be the next best single choice (along with 'Where Have You Been') so if it's that I will be more than happy.

Roc Me Out would be a step back, I hope she doesn't inflict it on the world. Such a depressingly boring 'banger'. Talk That Talk doesn't have a strong enough chorus to be a big hit either, although it's a better song than Roc Me Out... she really just needs to go with Where Have You Been and then end the campaign right there and take a break.

I agree, don't understand the hate for it. 'Roc Me Out' is my favourite out of the whole album - its like 'Rude Boy' meets 'Hard' which to me equals Rihanna at her best.

Except it's completely tepid and tame compared with Hard and has none of the feel-good charm of Rude Boy. Flat, recycled beats + boring vocals = non-event of a song.
