Rihanna has quite the extensive discography which consists of 8 albums full of hits. We all know those hits but Rihanna has released some underrated gems in her discography.

 

Here are some of my favourites;

 

 

We Ride - This song is definitely one of her most underrated songs. Definitely her underrated single in my opinion. The song is such a smooth R&B song. I love the 'We Ride We Ride' hook in the song. After SOS, it is my fave from A Girl Like Me

 

 

American Oxygen - Another underrated gem. The song and its video was quite the statement about America and its history.

American Oxygen is an absolute gem, I think if it was shorter it'd be more appreciated because I get how it goes on a bit. We don't talk about We Ride.

 

Good Girl Gone Bad

Wait Your Turn

Skin

Phresh Out The Runway

Loveeeeeee Song

Right Now (I'm afraid)

Woo

Pose

 

and the ultimate one, SLEDGEHAMMER. Completely paid dust by stans, the GP when it's flawless? The belting in the chorus :drake:

Hmm..

 

'California King Bed'

'Complicated'

'Fading'

'Farewell'

'G4L'

'Half Of Me'

'Lost In Paradise'

'Skin'

'The Last Song'

'We All Want Love'

'Woo'

 

All some of my favourites that don't get talked about a lot, imo.

American Oxygen was the first one to come to my mind tbh.

 

Others off the top of my head include

 

The Last Song

We All Want Love

Drunk On Love

Get It Over With

Half Of Me

Never Ending

 

They’re all quite mellow and not exactly pop numbers. But vocally I love all of these tracks :wub:

In terms of her singles I think Rehab may be my underrated pick ;)

'Complicated'

'Fading'

'G4L'

'Lost In Paradise'

Omg all these too, boppery.

 

Idk I might be imagining this but I think Rih is known by some as having albums packed with filler but compared to lots of other pop acts she really doesn't. So many hidden gems!

Fading

A Million Miles Away

Sell Me Candy

Complicated

Wait Your Turn

Fire Bombs

Loveeeeeee Song

Hmm..

 

'California King Bed'

'Complicated'

'Fading'

'Farewell'

'G4L'

'Half Of Me'

'Lost In Paradise'

'Skin'

'The Last Song'

'We All Want Love'

'Woo'

Complicated and G4L are my favourite non singles from Loud and Rated R respectively :wub:

 

When I saw this thread title, my first thought was American Oxygen. I was sure I was the only one on this forum to hail it as one of her best. SO HAPPY to see others appreciate it too.

 

Dropping some love for Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary

American Oxygen's production really puts me off the song. It's literally a mess! :(

I genuinely think 'Rockstar 101' is so underrated, the sheer attitude and sass she delivers. It's fierce!

 

They just shouldn't have tried to make it a single in any way, shape or form.

'Rehab' for me - quite possibly my favourite Rihanna song!

 

It's just such a breezy mid-tempo perfect for a chilled summer playlist. One of the songs I used to play a lot from AGLM.

 

 

How was this only a bonus track?! Such a gorgeous song and should've been given a push instead of HTILY. :kink: I used to think she was singing "I'm on a stone, I'm spinning round" :lol:

This too. In terms of her singles, it's her most underrated and my favourite too!

Te Amo is my favourite underrated single from her.

 

It was a top 20 smash! But even compared to Rated Rs singles and album tracks it’s rarely discussed.

Yes! A gorgeous track. Probably my favourite track on RR tbh.

Man Down is her best underrated song.

We Ride

Rehab

Good Girl Gone Bad

Russian Roulette

Cold Case Love

The Last Song

Drunk On Love

We All Want Love

Lost In Paradise

I would say Skin, but quite a few people have said that so maybe it’s not actually underrated? Ha.

Higher is another. I think people write it off for her voice being to strained on it, but I looove the quality to her voice on it, so raw.

Listening to this underrated gem tonight.

 

 

This song was truly ahead of its time.
