Rihanna is one of the world’s biggest stars, and if  “Talk that Talk” mirrors her career in any way, she truly deserves her fame. There is no stopping her now.  Rihanna’s new album “Talk That Talk” will fly off the shelves.

Everyone seems to love Rihanna except those die-hard Chris Brown fans that just can’t let things go. But, in all seriousness, Rihanna has earned her position on the charts and with this new album, she seems to be getting better and better.  Ever since she cut off most of hair, she’s been asserting her bad girl image, and after “Talk That Talk,” her fans will know that the more rebellious side of Rihanna is here to stay.

Five out of 15 of the songs on the deluxe addition have love in the title, so it’s safe to say that love is this album’s theme.  She must be hyped up about her new boyfriend, model Dudley O’Shaughnessy.

There are ups and downs to every album, but Rihanna’s new album has more ups. Songs that have already hit the radio are “You Da One,” “Where Have You Been,” “We Found Love,” “Talk That Talk,” and “Cockiness (Love It).” “You Da One” and “We Found Love” have been making headlines with their controversial use of marijuana in their videos.

Rihanna, a native to Barbados, has a wonderfully unique accent that sadly has not always been reflected in her music. However, every song featured in her latest album, “Talk that Talk,” showcases her fabulous vocal talents. Songs such as “You Da One” and “Roc Me Out” are obviously dance songs, but they stay true to Rihanna’s roots.

“Talk That Talk” focuses on upbeat instrumentals that are combined to define the album as a dance record.  Each song is unique and utilizes interesting instrumentals and beats to create a substantial meaning for the album.

For example, “We All Want Love” opens with instrumentals that mirror classic 90s rock songs. Each song’s instrumentals find consistency in not only their dance quality but their message. The album is unquestionably about being passionately in love. Songs such as “Fool in Love” and “We all want love” clearly state the album’s theme.

The album is one of Rihanna’s best, however it probably could use some slower beats that would truly give fans a new appreciation of her voice. “Talk that talk” will sure top the charts for the coming weeks.
