Continuing the trend that began on Rated R, Rihanna's at her best when she's flaunting. Not only is Unapologetic just as varied as Rihanna's past albums - it's another timely refresh of contemporary pop music - but it's a little more exploratory and a whole lot deeper, too.
Even with that change of pace, the possibility of it signaling an overall change in direction was slight. She didn't go with a dramatic ballad like "Russian Roulette" or a big dance number like "Only Girl (In the World)" and "We Found Love." Instead, the nod went to a midtempo pop ballad, "Diamonds" - as in "We're like diamonds in the sky" (rather than stars in a mine), a simple and effective, light in meaning yet massive in sonics, quasi-processional. The singer took a different route with the lead single.
In 2012, right on schedule, Rihanna delivered her fourth annual November album. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
