Rihanna is most probably the hardest working (and hardest
partying) woman in pop - seven albums in seven years! Hollow cow! And her
latest offering is not bat at all. Actually it's quite good. It grows on you.
With producers like David Guetta and Stargate, Unapologetic is a mixed bag of
goodies. The first half, melodious vocals sweeten pushy dance club tracks full
of abrasively ear catching sound effects and often weirdly off centre beats.
The second half switches to ballads, disco, reggae and naff rock for a
gob-smacking defence of her confused love for R’n’B star Chris Brown, who
notoriously beat her up in 2009. The Mirror noted that Rihanna has "gone
for the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach". Describing the album as
mixed, they added that it hears her "flipping through more styles than
Lady GaGa at a sample sale", and concluded that "she's delivered just
enough to keep Brand Rihanna chugging along".
