Her greatest asset is herself – even when the music falls short, the sheer force of her personality more than makes up for it.
Talk That Talk tries too hard to send a more one-dimensional message and ends up falling flat
It’s an album that merely perpetuates, without enhancing, the Rihanna narrative, rendering ear-catchingly awesome cuts and flop-tastic sonic duds alike.
Surprisingly the “fillers” are better than the singles. Rihanna has never been more shallow. This is purposefully made to impact the Hot 100, still it’s fun material and solid individual songs.
