Review

Entertainment Weekly (p.p.79) - "Rihanna's tangy tremolo is unmistakably reminiscent of early hip-hop-soul divas Monica and SWV's Coko....A thrilling throwback to more than a decade ago."
Uncut (p.110) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] shiny, trans-atlantic blend of Europop vim, R&B grit and Caribbean bounce."
Vibe (p.69) - "[A]n adventurous reinvention....Rihanna's strength still lies in uptempo numbers..."

Title Note

Personnel: Rihanna (vocals).

Additional personnel: Jay-Z, Ne-Yo (rap vocals).

The music of Barbados-born singer Rihanna--a breezy blend of hip-hop, commercial pop, and Caribbean flavors--made her a bona fide superstar before the age of 20. Given her immediate success, one had to wonder if Rihanna would be a flash in the pan, but her third album, 2007's GOOD GIRL GONE BAD, is a winner. Interestingly, Rihanna avoids the Caribbean tinge that made her breakthrough single "Pon the Replay" a massive hit, sticking instead to more straightforward dance-pop designed for the club and the singles charts. More interesting still, she pulls it off with assurance and skill.

It doesn't hurt that heavyweight producers such as Timbaland (who contributes several tracks to GOOD GIRL) are on board, or that Rihanna is backed by the Def Jam empire. In fact, Def Jam president Jay-Z appears on the album's lead single, "Umbrella," an irresistible, stomping dance anthem that does exactly what a single should. Another highlight is "Shut Up and Drive," which works a powerful groove based around a sample of New Order's "Blue Monday." There are notably fewer ballads here than on Rihanna's sophomore effort, which is a welcome change, and makes the album more focused, energized, and danceable front to back.

4 out of 5 stars The Evolution of Rihanna, February 19, 2008
By Carlo
GOOD GIRL GONE BAD is the third album by Rihanna. Im impressed on her change. MUSIC OF THE SUN was a completely Reggae album, while A GIRL LIKE ME started the transition to a more-Pop move... and this album was the final stage. At first I thought: This chick is going directly to the overexposure, but when I first checked the album I was like: Hell no! Shes just evolving. So whats next for Rihanna? What do yall folks expect coming next from her? Id love her to return to her Reggae roots but remaining with her R&B side (Like A GIRL LIKE ME). The album is a good mix of sounds (And an improvement in her voice... She doesnt sound like a chipmunk anymore.) ranking from Pop and Rock to R&B and Hip-Hop. Recommended
