NEW MUSIC FROM RIHANNA

Friday, March 14, 2008

♫ Rihanna - Take A Bow (listen)

Who knew that Rihanna was rereleasing her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad? She premiered her new single on KIIS FM’s On-Air with Ryan Seacrest this morning. Not exactly positive how I feel about this song, but whatever. Rihanna has really been going strong with this album. I was thinking that she perhaps would have made a little more noise with one of my favorite songs on the album, “Breakin’ Dishes,” which entered the dance charts some time ago.

Of course, the new tune is written by Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate, who are most known for their acoustic sound. In any event, the rerelease of Good Girl Gone Bad is set to drop in stores May 27th. Make sure you check it out.

I aqree with #1….every song Rihanna comes out with you have to listen to it a few times so it can grow on you…but it sounds okay. She should do a song with Chris Brown.

pretty good

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

I like it, but its not single worthy material like she usually brings.

nothing to write home about. and she sounds whack when she says “please”.

rihanna needs to sit down. she’s way to over exposed and people are gonna get sick of her pretty soon. i wish they would replace her with some one else on the glow in the dark tour.

JSCENE, I think the rereleases are an attempt to make up ground for all the bootleggers out there. If you havent noticed artists have to do twice the things they did before just to make the same money as artists in the past. I mean really back in the 80s and 70s and even early 90s how many artists did u see releasing albums 2 and three times, sellin “umbarellahs” and touring for 2years per album.

12.

alyssa

her voice sounds so good on this!!! i really, really like it. This will do very well on the billboard 100.

Go ri-ri i really like her there is alot of hater out there. She a beautiful girl got a nice style, yes she improve her singing of this song. So do you ri-ri get that money and be yourself.

14.

shannon

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

she should have made this a duet with chris brown. But other than that I love it, i will definetely be buying the rerelease.

still wish she would have brung breakin dishes out.

@11

Well i knew that, but what is the logic in it? If i didn’t like soulja boy on day one when the cd was originally released, i’m still not buying the crap 6 months later when they re-release it.

I happen to really like Rhi, and i already have her cd; but i just noticed this trend of re-releasing albums, and to me it just doesn’t make sense. So what, you might get 100,000 more copies sold…now what?

This is a good song, rihanna had to hop on this before. ne-yo gave it to anyone else.
She sounds so good, though.

I never doubted that she can sing, but I’m just not feelin’ this song at all…maybe if the track was different

kaykay

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

i don’t care for it. it sounds like some of her other songs that i’ve heard passing those Z hot 101.5 white/pop/mixed artist stations. i see her cross over appeal to say the least. she definitely has a sound, i just don’t like her sound.

24.

amber

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

its ok.

kaykay

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

right, i thought this cd already came out. i know old heads like ReRe and Ray Charles (RIP) are shaking their heads at this recycled thing ppl are doing in the industry. of course i was totally fine w/B’day being re-released w/a DVD, lol

i absolutely love it, and Im hard to please. Im glad she’s working on some new material, its only so long you can ride on one album. Plus, shes got a lot of steam behind her right now.

34.

Sharonda

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

Oh Stargate?Pass :)
It probably sounds like Hate That I Love You/Irreplaceable/With You/Because of You all mix together.Nevermind all those songs sound the same.

Riri shitting on them other bitches. get use to it Riri is not going no where. Pop radio are going to play the shit out of this. Need to go get my ticket for the glow in the dark tour with Kanye & rihanna. for all the haters, rihanna is selling out 20,000 seat arenas in Europe only 2 other black female can do that. Alicia and Beyonce

36.

Keisha

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

LOL @ # 23…

Rihanna doesn’t sound bad on here, she just gives me a headache for some reason.
I can’t listen to her ballads too long.

Ne-Yo is my favorite writer in the game so i really love anything that man touches.

I would have liked to hear Nivea sing this. She has a really good voice and needs a song like this.

P.S.

“Take A bow” by Madonna is definitely 1000x better than this one though..lol

37.

Scorpio

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

Lol @ y’all saying that this chick can sing. She is a STUDIO SINGER, real singers should be able to sing LIVE which she cannot! That’s all, peace.

38.

Keisha

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

LOL @ 35…

Rihanna stan, eh?

39.

Scorpio

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

@ 35, but can she do that ish in the US? I don’t think so.

40.

GO

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

She sound like how she sound on the unfaithful track. I don’t hear this vast improvement. It’s a cute song but a little dull for my taste.

41.

Juslisen

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

Ok song. Decent but not one of her stronger ones. She tends to do better with more upbeat songs.

Also, What’s up with artists constantly re-releasing albums. Rihanna’s GGGB album was pretty solid as it was and definitely doesn’t need this song, which sounds more like filler.

42.

Bored

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

You just heard the studion version, and the backup singers are doing there thing here. It took her almost 8 months to go plat in the US and they are bringing out a re-release? Sometimes re-releases dont help and I believe she will be one of those it want help.

She’s still selling like she been out for a year which is bad, especially when Fergis is still outselling you and has been out over 73 wks and you had a mega hit song. When they release it she will sell only 25,000 tops cause the original only went to 20,000 during the x-mas season.

Overseas was loving her but after the tour hey are heard how bad she was and a lot are saying they want buy her stuff cause of Bad performances.

We will see what develops in May.

43.

Scorpio

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

I tried to listen, I mean REALLY tried but I couldn’t get pass 30 seconds. I think somebody else, anybody else could and would kill this song. Her voice is hella annoying on ballads!

44.

babatunde

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

I’ll probably be crucified for this but… she is singing this song in the fashion of Beyonce IMO. I still find her voice extremely unbearable. It may just be because I want a talented artist to sing a song for once.

They are re-releasing this because of all the money they spent shoving her down our throats. They need some of it back, not that they will get very much of it. I noticed she has had a lot of time on her hands lately. Guess she will be getting dropped soon, since she isn’t recording a new album.

I am too ready for the albums from Usher and Whitney, talent at last, woooooohoooo !

45.

UM...I GUESS

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

LOVE the song LOVE her!! ♥

…and thank you #3!!

46.

Bad Move

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

She’s trying for an “Irreplaceable” like she did with Unfaithful (her version of DIL). Not a good look. This song wouldn’t be so bad if it were done by someone else that could actually sing. Not to hit high notes, but a person that can sing can play with their voice and add rifts, etc. where necessary.

They’re milking this album because as usual, the sales haven’t lived up to expectation. They’re also trying to get new material out for people to be excited about her being on tour with Kanye. Riri’s a wrap. She really needs to concentrate on her upcoming contract expiration because if they’re going according to sales, no one is going to be fighting to have her on their team.

It’s also a bad move for her because Beyonce’s dropping in June along with a few others.

47.

#42 you read one review and you acting like the whole of Europe wrote the review I can find more than one good reviews. All her tour dates across Europe are sold out. all the way to Moscow. so stop hating. some places she has to visit twice. because of popular demand. How many Black female artist can draw 30,000 crowd? yes, she did that in Eastern Europe

48.

malcolm

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

# 46 stop the madness. Rihanna was working with Ne yo and Stargate before Beyonce. so if anyone following anyone its the other way around. Stargate work on all of Rihanna’s album.

49.

Kelly

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

Is it just me that thinks she did a voice over Beyonces tracks. Listen really hard to the back ground because it sounds like its Beyonce. The way she pronounces her words sounds like Beyonce. Im not trying to be a hater but somethings wrong here.

Rhi Rhi is a cute girl with mediocre vocals! Singing is not her strong suit!

Bad Move

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

Malcolm - whoopie for her if she had them first. It’s still a copy of someone’s work. Also, you know the other chicks in R&B that’s selling has drawn a crowd of more than 30K on more than one occassion and sometimes at the same stop. No hate here - just reality. Rerelease or not - the chick is a studio artist that will never be taken seriously as a singer - she’s on the Britney level of respect in music.

NONE OF UR BUSINESS

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

@bad move,

which r&b chicks other than alicia and beyonce?

ciara does not headlin no tour, keyshia does not headline no tour. they join tours like scream, etc. tours that involved other black artists who are not headlining.

RIHANNA IS WAY BIGGER THAN ALL THE OTHER R&B CHICKS EXCEPT FUH ALICIA, BEYONCE, AND MARY J BLIGE, AND MARIAH. and she is 20 years old. it took more than five years for beyonce to reach mainstream status, it only took rihanna two to three years.

malcolm

Friday, March 14, 2008 /

#51 name a female black artist right now that draw a 30,000 crowd. I’m not talking show with 3 or 5 artist i’m talking headline their own show. Beyonce did not even do that on her last European tour. lot of these RNB females can’t even have their own tour unless they come as a package with other artistand still they can’t full an 20,000 seat arena. Rihanna has just been in the game for 36 months. and she’s shitting on them hoes

65.

freshman release “Music Of The Sun”. It has only been about three years
since the world has come to know the tiny R&B chaunteuse and she has already
sold nearly 7 million albums worldwide. With an unprecidented three albums in
nearly three years, Rihanna is one of the youngest entertainers to recieve such
an honor in album sales. It is clear the future for this special young lady is very
bright. As Rihanna continues to spawn out countless numbers of hits, the world continues to listen.

Ummm, Rhi Rhi is an opening act in the USA. She opened up for Akon,and now she will be one of many opening acts for Kanye. GGGB has only sold 1 mil in the USA. Keyshia Cole and Fantasia’s debut sold more than that in the USA.

@6 Toons
The reason people prbly wont get sick of Riri is because shes still a fairly new artist and more importantly she reinvents herself!!!! Thats something that not all artists do!!!

This song is okay it might grow on me but it doesnt please me like unfaithful and umbrella did. She should have released breaking dishes or cry, they are much better than this.

Artists need to realise that rereleasing albums isnt a good look, Riri isnt kelly rowland- Ri went multi platinum internationally. shes an international star now.

72.

DIANMONDS&PEARLS

@ 54

You missed out Alicia Keys, Beyonce and Mariah Care didnt you?

Now you can say Alicia, Beyonce and Mariah put together are making it rain on that hoe.

Age and ‘how many years they got to the top for success’ has nothing to do with it.

These ladies above has something Rihanna craves for, the talent and originality. And Im afraid Rihanna is not as good as you think she is. She can fake her way to the top which she is good at.

73.

A while back a couple blogs said that she was rereleasing this and it was said that her and beyonce recorded a song called so glamorous or glamorous (something like that). Don’t know if it’s true but thats what I heard I even googled it!

Also to the Bey and Alicia stans, Alicia typically only released two songs off her recent album and she has a habit of having great singles but lackluster albums. Yes the album did well on the charts but that was due to extremely heavy promotion. I really like her as an artist and shes really talented but shes not perfect as some people seem to think.

Bey also rereleased Bday which didnt do as well as expected. In fact other than her stans no one else ikes her anymore shes dated and people would rather listen to Rirhanna or Alicia than her because Bey is extremely overexposed.

And to the person who called her another Britney, back in the day Britney was one of the biggest pop artists and even though shes now insane she has left her mark on the music industry. (even though she cant sing)
