Rihanna good girl gone bad: Reloaded / Rihanna


Rihanna good girl gone bad: Reloaded is the self titled CD of contemporary music by a very popular musician. Rihanna has been in the news recently (early 2009) because of some troubles she has had with her boyfriend. Pictures of Rihanna have circulated with a black eye and bruised face and there is lots of talk of abuse and the possibility of a court appearance for Rihanna and her boyfriend. The personal lives of pops stars are great food for the hunger of the popular media and Rihanna's fame and her problems have her clearly on the popularity plate.

Rihannna's CD is very popular in its own right featuring hits like; Shut up and drive. Push up on me, Don't stop the music, Umbrella and more. The music on Good girl gone bad, is a mixture of Rhythm and Blues, Motown, and Disco with a strong beat, and the clear, strong leading voice of Rihanna. The lyrics of this album are predictably those that appeal to a young adult audience. Rihanna sings of love and relationships in a direct way and sex in a metaphorical manner. All in all this is a well done entertaining CD that most aficionados of popular music will enjoy.
