Rihanna scored 3 #1 hits from 4 top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with her ‘Loud’ album but despite her many successes, the sexual star is quite disgusted with the project. In fact, when asked if her upcoming November 21st release will be similar to ‘Loud’, Rihanna boldly exclaimed “EW!!!” in response.
Interestingly, the first single from Rihanna’s new LP, ‘We Found Love’, has been compared to the material on ‘Loud’ and several critics have presumed that the song was simply a leftover from that album. See what Rihanna had to say below:
So after boasting on Twitter for months about how excited she was about ‘Loud’ and having her team compare the project to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, Rihanna is now revolted by the album? This is yet another indication that she does not care about her artistry and it confirms that she simply makes the music that she is directed to record.
Although several artists, including Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, struggled for creative control in their early careers and made negative statements about their initial releases, they still have the tact to avoid expressing public abhorrence about their work without justification. Indeed, if Rihanna proclaimed that ‘Loud’ is her best work to date, then how does she really feel about her other projects?
Nonetheless, it could be argued that Rihanna was simply marketing ‘Loud’ by boasting about the record but truly wanted to continue with the sound of her ‘Rated R’ album. In fact, her team probably manipulated her to put forward more songs similar to the latter’s biggest hit, ‘Rude Boy’.
Regardless, until Rihanna gets more involved in the creative process and spends less time declaring her love for the word “c*nt” then she does not have the right to complain. Really, she needs to do what she is told and be happy that she still has a record deal.
