The album begins with the species-typical "meet and fall in love" (You Da One), goes from there towards "Beziehungskiste" (We Found Love), to the point where the protagonist humiliated by her lover and as a mere sexual object is stigmatized (Birthday Cake). After this apparent separation of the two partners, sinking more or less the protagonist in a lethargy (We All Want Love), then learns someone know another who seems to give her new hope, but unfortunately also this relationship through a momentous farewell (Farewell) fell apart. Ultimately, it is the eternal circle of failure and over again-Anfangens.
Who the word "protagonist" now "gay" or "untight" should therefore come, those times should consider as far as possible, whether they are ever ready and mature enough for listening to the plates by an artist like Rihanna. For those who can discover no concept here can in my opinion (and so sorry this formulation does now) not older than 14 years of age. Measured at least in the spiritual format.
Namely, it is obvious that this woman speaks in her songs about things that a) they learn to own body and b) etc. report on many facets of the abysmal human (rape, drug abuse, failed love, self-destructiveness). Increasingly, the parallels with other like "Rated R" will be seen in this work, it has again this rather gloomy, moving atmosphere, the better personally many times as I like to characterize the shrill Partymaus.
Hottest Tip: The Endtrack "Farewell" - According to untwist, soak up, get goose bumps begin loszuweinen. Similarities to the song "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister are probably only inadvertently.
A great CD. The beats sitting, as well as the indirect criticism of today's money machine of the music scene, the synths are exactly where they should be, the 90 will be brought back to life. Even though I am of the opinion, in some places have both Riri and their producers soundwise can still hone. Nevertheless: strong buy recommendation. But nothing for teenagers)
4 stars.
