REVIEW: TALK THAT TALK

Rihanna released her 6th album on November 21st on iTunes & worldwide. It was a big release and a lot of people were excited especially the #RihannaNavy. I have lots of comments about this album and I will tell you that the album is WONDERFUL, it's probably one of Rihanna's best releases ever. I will say though that Rihanna released this album VERY VERY quickly, but for a album that took probably 2 months to make, it's DASHING!! :) Talk That Talk has a lot of R&B, pop, electro etc and she did some collaborations like with Calvin Harris, Jay-Z.



1. You Da One
The song is a nice up-tempo song. I like it personally, it's one of those songs that you first listen to and go, "ugghh I don't like it", but it's addictive. It has that hook that runs through your mind. It also has some Carribean flavour and I love it!! It has potential of being her next hit.

2.Where Have You Been
I was a bit disappointed with this song, I won't lie. I don't really like it as much as I thought I would. It's okay. I kinda like it. But I think it is one of those songs that you listen to and you are gonna get bored after a while. But it's just okay, nothing special, nothing terrible. It's just okay.

3. We Found Love
We Found Love was #1 in lots of countries, the song is truly what defines this whole album. It's a wonderful track, one of her BEST songs she has ever sang. It is also something new to her genre. If we go back to songs like "What's My Name", "Only Girl", it is a new type of music for Rihanna and she nailed it with We Found Love.



4.Talk That Talk
There is a reason why Rihanna named her album after this song, it's the BEST song on the album in my opinion. When you hear the chorus, it makes you dance. It's energizes you, Jay-Z had a good rap verse also. A great track. I hope she releases it as a single, she has to.

5. Cockiness
I love this song, however I feel it isn't really age appropriate. I mean, no mother would want her 3 year old singing "I LOVE IT WHEN YOU EAT IT". however, I like this song. It has a great hook to it, it's definitely a song Rihanna would sing.

6. Birthday Cake
I absolutely love this song, but I don't get why it would be just a minute. Was it incomplete? What was the intention Rihanna had making it a minute? I'm a little bit confused, but I love it while it lasts. I really hope she makes a complete version, because I think it has potential of being the track IF it was like over 2 minutes.

7.We All Want Love
Ummm...this song is a nice ballad but there is something I don't really like about it. It's an okay track. Rihanna doesn't have many ballads in this album, I would want this to be like a Fading type of ballad. But whatev...I think I like it.



8. Drunk On Love
I LOVE THIS SONG! it's awesome and it is one of those songs you see people on youtube making a cover for. It showcases the vocals Rihanna has. The background beats is made beautifully. It sounds beautiful and the lyrics depicts a situation many people can relate to.

9. Roc Me Out
I LOVE THIS!! I feel like this song is like Rude Boy from Rated R. It is so sexual, so hot, it can pleasure somebody. I love this song, it's one of the best songs on her album in my opinion.

10. Watch N Learn
Another song that I love in this album. It's wonderful. It has a little bit of a Carribean feel to me, and the lyrics are so sexual which I like.

11. Farewell
It's a great song. I love the lyrics of the song and the most best part of this song is the chorus. I feel like this song puts you on a journey to somewhere exotic. When I hear this song, I think of two people kissing in the water of a beach and they are underwater with fishes and dolphins. It's so romantic. A song that plays when two lovers are about to separate.

Overall, the album is GREAT! I think it is EPIC and one of the best albums released by Rihanna. It's going to be a great success. A hand clap for her.
