RihannaGood Girl Gone Bad
Confusion is written all over this album, and I mean that in the best way possible. In Rihanna's third album Good Girl Gone Bad, the emotions are somewhat contradicting, leaving the listener confused as to what message she is trying to convey to her audience. Unlike her first two albums Rihanna shows off a different side to her personality, shying away from songs such as "S.O.S" (A Girl Like Me) and "Pon De Replay" (Music of the Sun) and focusing more on songs that pull on your emotions.
Songs such as "Breakin' Dishes," "I Hate That I Love You," "Rehab," "Question Existing" and "Good Girl Gone Bad" truly show the mix of emotions that are associated with unhealthy relationships which many young females are faced with - boys, cheating, being misleading and manipulative. Ironically, that's what is appealing about this album. Part of growing up is making mistakes and learning from them.
Throughout the album, she goes from hating a lover, to not being able to be without them. In "I Hate that I Love You," featuring Ne-Yo, Rihanna sings, "So I despise that I adore you; And I hate how much I love you boy; I can't stand how much I need you." Talk about a contradiction, that's one right there! So many young women will relate to the emotions sprung from Good Girl Gone Bad, and that is exactly why this album will be successful.
Singing about the confusion of love versus obsession, Rihanna still manages to keep the album full of upbeat songs, incorporating pop, dancehall and R&B - in the case of single "Umbrella," sometimes all at once. The album exemplifies how talented and powerful of an artist Rihanna truly is. Good Girl Gone Bad will definitely boost Rihanna's status in the music industry.
