Bio
Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she exhibited a certain star quality as a young child, often winning beauty and talent contests. Because she lived on the fairly remote island of Barbados in the West Indies, however, she never foresaw the sort of stardom she would later attain.
That stardom came courtesy of a fateful meeting with Evan Rogers. The New Yorker was vacationing in Barbados with his wife, a native of the island, when he was introduced to Rihanna. Rogers had spent years producing pop hits for such superstars as *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Rod Stewart, and he offered the talented Rihanna a chance to record. Along with Rogers' production partner, Carl Sturken (the other half of Syndicated Rhythm Productions), Rihanna recorded several demos that sparked the interest of the Carter Administration -- that is, the newly appointed Def Jam president Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. This led to an audition, and Rihanna both received and accepted an on-the-spot offer to sign with Def Jam.
Come summer 2005, Def Jam rolled out "Pon de Replay," the lively leadoff single from Music of the Sun. Produced almost entirely by Rogers and Sturken, the song synthesized Caribbean rhythms with urban-pop songwriting. "Pon de Replay" caught fire almost immediately, climbing all the way to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and contesting that summer's reign of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" atop the chart. The debut album spawned one other hit, "If It's Lovin' That You Want," which also broke the Top 40. Rihanna's follow-up effort, A Girl Like Me, saw even greater success and spawned three sizable singles: a chart-topper ("S.O.S.") and two Top Ten hits ("Unfaithful," "Break It Off").
Rihanna's third album, 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, continued her success while signaling a change of direction. Good Girl Gone Bad was a first-rate dance-pop album, stacked with several chart-topping singles and boasting collaborations with Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Timbaland, and StarGate. The lead single, "Umbrella," shot to number one, as did "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia." Its success turned Rihanna into one of the planet's biggest pop stars.
Rated R was released in 2009 during the wake of a physical altercation with romantic interest Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to felony assault. The album's lead single, "Russian Roulette" -- written with Ne-Yo -- was one of the year's most controversial singles, and it set the tone for the singer's new, dark direction. Rated R peaked within the Top Five of the Billboard 200, while another one of its singles, "Rude Boy," topped the Hot 100. Rated R: Remixed was released in the spring of 2010 and featured ten tracks from the album revamped for the dancefloor by Chew Fu.
Loud, Rihanna's fifth studio album, followed in November and was led by the StarGate-produced "Only Girl (In the World)." That song, as well as the follow-up singles "What's My Name?" and "S&M," all topped the Billboard Hot 100. In November 2011, shortly after Loud's "Cheers (Drink to That)" entered the Top Ten, the singer released Talk That Talk. The single "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris earned the top spot in the Hot 100, and the album peaked at number three.
Unapologetic, Rihanna's seventh studio album, featured some of her brashest material and was led by "Diamonds" -- her 18th Top Ten single. Unapologetic became her first number one album, and eventually produced further Top Ten hits in "Stay" and "Jump." By the fall of 2013, another record had fallen: her feature on Eminem's "The Monster" helped it hit number one on the pop charts, tying her with Michael Jackson for the most chart-toppers in Billboard chart history. The song won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. In early 2015, Rihanna released "FourFiveSeconds," a stripped-down single featuring the unlikely duo of Kanye West and Paul McCartney. It topped the Hot 100 and was followed by the cruder "Bitch Better Have My Money," which led the way to Anti the following January

There are a few who seem to have a good time. Rihanna and Jay Z were ultra close this weekend. But where is Beyonce?
It’s THE big event this weekend! Yes, as you know meltynauts, the grand ceremony of the Grammy Awards will take place this Sunday. Celebrities from around the world are expected for this exceptional evening. Several performances are expected. If we know that Beyoncé, pregnant, will sing well during the 2017 Grammy Awards , Justin Bieber confirmed that he would not tread the red carpet. Too bad, damage to the Beliebers. To get back to Queen B , we will finally see the international singer on the front of the stage and she will not be alone. Pregnant twins, Bey will make her very first official appearance since her big announcement on Instagram. It is an awaited return and carefully prepared by Beyoncé. But then, is that why she did not attend the Pre-Grammy brunch? In any case, Jay Z was there and he was very close to a certain Rihanna …
The return of Beyoncé is highly anticipated by the Hollywood all . This is Queen B anyway! Did the preparations for his comeback have been a hindrance to his presence during the traditional Pre-Grammy brunch? In any case, this did not prevent Jay Z from going there, just like Rihanna. As we know, the relationship between Riri and the American rapper has always been more than professional. Both celebrities would have even had an affair in the past. In any case, the gossips about them do not seem to have been right with them. During this brunch, Rihanna and Jay Z spoke quite a lot of time together and even shared a hug. One wonders what Beyoncé must think of all this? In any case, today, we wonder if Rihanna is ready to go back with Drake . Separated from JLo, he would do everything to regain the love of the interpreter of “Diamonds” . Good Luck Drake!

I've liked bits of Anti for a while (Kiss It Better/Desperado/Needed Me in particular), but now I'm appreciating it a whole lot more :lovedup: Consideration is fantastic
It's just a masterpiece tbh. Idg why people say it doesn't have a clear concept... like discounting the bonus tracks it is just amazing how the first seven tracks are so gutsy and just bops tbh and then it fades away to Very emotional vibes - honestly, Close To You is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard :flutter:

NEW MUSIC COMING SOON!
The Bajan-beauty looks set to launch an epic comeback in just a few months time.
While RiRi has been keeping schtum about any new tracks, Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw has let slip her plans.
Chatting to Daily Star Online backstage at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Grimmy said: "Rihanna won't come in live.
"She will do an interview but we can't... she has never come in live so I hope that we are going to get her on like - this year."
Appearing to let slip the superstar is planning a surprise comeback, he added: "I heard she's got new music soon.
"I think like Chris..."
When pushed as to why RiRi insists on pre-recording her interviews for the station, Grimmy continued: "I don't think she likes waking up early, which to be fair if I was Rihanna I wouldn't either.
"As if you would be like 'yeah definitely, see you at seven."

Don't get the liking for this woman. I think she does women a great disservice the way she uses sex to sell records. Male singers rarely do that.
To sell records for the right reasons helps to stop reinforcing the stereotypes that womens' value lies in their looks, ornamental value and sex appeal. Says it all about her for me.

When it comes to the Met Gala, Rihanna does not mess around. Whether she’s holding court in sumptuous Guo Pei as she did in 2015 or pulling off deconstructed Comme des Garçons just last year, Vogue’s June cover star always stays over the top and on theme. In keeping with the exhibition’s “Heavenly Bodies” motif, her 2018 look channeled the grandeur of Catholic vestments with a cream bejeweled gown layered beneath a flowing overcoat from Maison Margiela. With designer John Galliano’s extreme design sensibility taking the idea of saintly dressing into artistic territory, the outfit went beyond the literal thanks to its exquisitely detailed construction.
Finishing things up with a bishop’s hat by Stephen Jones millinery and sleek hair and makeup, the star began the night on an epic high note. Never one to be reined in, Rihanna probably won’t be trading her decadent wardrobe for a habit any time soon, but her inventive take on the night’s fashion message shows why she continues to inspire the fashion faithful.

Scuttlebutt claims that Rih's next lead single will feature Cardi, with the album to follow shortly thereafter (August). It has a "dancehall vibe"

RiRi is like Adele i think, good bops take time to produce, but when they are released, she can deliver so be patient
Riri needs to go back to ha roots and just buy some good tracks, record them and give us the bops
