Young, but promising singer Rihanna, started only three years ago with the Music Of The Sun album, but since that, she has won a firm position in the charts, while her cute face and slender figure have been decorating the pages of glam periodicals. At first, one can simply wonder how the artist managed to form her reputation in the celebrity society. However, if one overviews the volumes of the work, done by Rihanna, and the collection of awards she got - the wonder would be changed by the steady sure that the girl deserved all this not barely with her gift, but also with the help of her hard labor. Every year Rihanna released a good album and developed from the edition to the edition. Her third album Good Girl Gone Bad amused everyone with the total change of the singer’s image and transition from low-tempo ballads to the energetic dance tracks. The first single with Jay-Z, Umbrella, caused the surprise not only in the listeners, but also in the critics. However, the new studio attempt needed more time and work from Rihanna to get ready - it is planned only for 2009. Nevertheless, the restless beauty from Barbados does not want to leave this year without a disc - she released the new version of the hit-released of 2007, calling it Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded. Along with the favorite material by the artist, the listeners will find the new material.
The full-length opener is the magnificent hit Umbrella, performed by Rihanna along with rapper Jay-Z. The tuneful track demonstrates the full potential of the singer’s vocals. It is followed by the danceable compositions Push Up On Me and Don’t Stop The Music, the last one of which could be heard on the dance floors all the last years long. The aggressive and playful tune Shut Up And Drive precedes the thoughtful ballads Hate That I Love You, brilliantly performed in a duet with Ne-Yo, and Say It. However, this time the album is not closed with the title composition - as it is Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, not just Good Girl Gone Bad! The listeners can appreciate four more tracks that are fresh. The ballad, titled Cry, with the lyrical piano introduction and catchy tender tune is sure to be liked by everyone. The song Take A Bow is a ironical, bitter dedication to the unfaithful lover. Rihanna’s voice mixed a number of different emotions, starting with the well-covered mock and finishing with the disgust to the former boyfriend, who deceived her with the other girl. The title of the song is identical to the Madonna’s 1995 hit song - this singer also discloses the theme of love relations in her creativity. The following thing is the dancing track Disturbia with the elements synth-pop. The track If I Never See Your Face Again, featuring Maroon 5, also tells about problematic love. It differs from Take A Bow in the fact that the main characters love each other passionately, madly, crossing the lines of sensibility - one moment they adore each other and the other moment they feel bilateral hatred. The duet of Adam Levine and Rihanna is very sexual and wonderfully showed the changeable weather of emotions in such pairs, as the one described in If I Never See Your Face Again.
Looking at the career of Rihanna, one can observe that the artist follows the proverb that advises to strike while the iron is hot. Having come to the USA as a young and inexperienced in show-business singer, she immediately took the situation under control and started making her name. Of cause, she managed to find such a wonderful producer as Jay-Z, but every producer knows that polishing the diamond of the talent and making a star out of a simply cute girl are very different things. Such a beautiful and smart performer with strong voice like Rihanna would do even without a producer. Her new tracks on Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded proved that the fourth studio work by Rihanna is going to become a monster hit, almost definitely fulfilled in a danceable clue, like its predecessor. Besides, the singer achieved two goals at once -she did not slow down, releasing an album per year, and cheered up the fans with new hits, united under one cover. The release of Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded also showed to the dance music world that Rihanna is full of creative approach and innovative ideas - so, all the pop genre amateurs should follow the actions of the bronze-skinned beauty with attention, she always has a couple of tricks for the listeners.
