It’s hard to fathom that Rihanna saw the release of her sixth studio album Talk That Talk in late 2011, surpassing pop veterans including P!nk, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera in terms of the frequency of her releases. Despite the prolific nature of her campaigns, Rihanna has maintained – and in fact built upon – her worldwide popularity and the quality of her output, and Talk That Talk shows no sign of the abating of this trend.
Lead single ‘We Found Love’ topped just about every international chart going, and set the tone for the dance-driven, aggressive record from which it was lifted. The strength of this dance influence is evident on ‘Where Have You Been’, an effortless anthem-in-waiting. The track sees the traditional pop structure thrown to the wind, replaced by an enthralling reversion between hands-in-the-air euphoria, an irresistible breakdown and slightly more calm verses. Outside of this dance motif, Talk That Talk also sees Rihanna flirt with dubstep, a genre she first tackled on critic’s favourite Rated R back in 2009.
Rihanna is hardly a stranger to sexual innuendo – the unsubtle metaphors of ‘Shut Up And Drive’ spring to mind– but on Talk That Talk Rihanna tackles sex with an unprecedented fervent enthusiasm. As the album progresses, the subject matter only becomes more of a focal point; the title track (which sees Rihanna return to collaborate with Jay-Z for a third time), ‘Cockiness (Love It)’ and ‘Birthday Cake’ form a sexually-charged trio of unabashed filth. This said, there are a few more emotionally focused moments.
‘We All Want Love’ acts as a refreshing counterpoint following the aforementioned trio, and contains a genuine, if rather grandiose, sentiment, as does album closer ‘Farewell’. Second single ‘You Da One’ sees a return to the singer’s Barbadian roots, as she happily, cheekily revels in the blossoming of young love. A sure-fire summer smash, the track is slightly reminiscent of previous hit ‘What’s My Name?’ in its Caribbean influence, but is more forward-thinking in its incorporation of dubstep elements. This is the beauty of Rihanna: she knows her strengths, and manages to capitalise on them time and time again, without ever letting her charms become stale.
