I think that's the intention though... to regain lost ground

as much as I love Rated R I didn't want her to continue down that path and disappear in obscurity. she's too fun a popstar for that to be happening

I'm already tired of "Who's This Chick". It's just way too simple and repetitive.

Rihanna’s LOUD Album — Exclusive JustJared.com Preview

“S&M” - It’s definitely a club banger and the naughtiest song of all! Here are some of the sample lyrics as best I heard them: “I may be bad but I’m perfectly good… There’s sex in the air. I don’t care, I love the smell of it… Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me. I like it, come on, come on.”

“Only Girl (In The World)”: The whole room was dancing along! During the lyrics “hold me like a pillow,” L.A. hugged himself like a pillow, too. Funny moment!

“What’s My Name?” - It’s the second single off of Loud - listen to a bit of the track here! “Oh nah nah, what’s my name? …Hey boy, I really wanna see if you can go downtown with a girl like me. Oh boy, I wanna really be with you, you’re just my type… You’re so amazing, you took the time to figure me out..”

“Cheers” - The song samples Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You” and is so unbelievably catchy! Avril’s “yeahh, yeahh, yeahhh, yeahhh” are prevalent throughout. This song will be so huge in clubs, bars, and everywhere that serves alcohol. Everybody will be raising a glass! Sample lyrics: “Turn it around with a dollar round, there’s a party at the bar everybody put your glasses up… Cheers to the freakin weekend, I drink to that. Everybody put your glasses up. Don’t let the bastards get you down… Drinks on my mind and my mind on my money.”

“California King (Bed)” - A beautiful ballad! Lyrics include: “nose to nose, palm to palm, wrist to wrist, toe to toe…Feels like more than distance between us. In this California king bed, we’re 10,000 miles apart. I’ll be California wishing on the stars, my California king.” It’s L.A.’s favorite song off the album!

“Raining Men” - The fast and uptempo song features Nicki Minaj! There isn’t much of a chorus, but the song features a variation of the popular children’s phrase “eenie meenie miney mo”.

“Who’s That Chick” - Used for a Doritos ad - read more about the song here. There are two videos for this track!

“Fading Away” - A beautiful ballad that likely references her relationship with Chris Brown. The song includes the lines, “Ready for change, baby, Open up my eyes and finally realize you’re fading away. Too late… Running your mouth. So fed up, don’t press your luck today. What’s a girl to do when she’s crying inside?”

“Man Down” - The song starts off with sirens and sounds like a metaphor for deadening a relationship. Lyrics include: “I pulled out my gun… Ra pum pum pum pum. Oh mama, mama, mama, I just shot a man down in central station. Never thought I’d do it. Whatever ever happened to me. Why did I pull the trigger. What am I gonna do?”

Can’t wait for everyone to hear!!

Really??

I don't think it's a particularly interesting cover. The Rated R one wasn't great either. They're both very generic and not remotely creative. Not bad, but far from great.

'Rihanna confirms six 'Loud' album tracks

Rihanna has confirmed six of the tracks that will appear on her upcoming album Loud.

Earlier this evening, the Barbadian pop singer introduced five songs in person at a playback event in Central London, including the LP's lead single 'Only Girl (In The World)'.

She also confirmed that the album's second single would be the "sassy, flirtatious and fun" 'What's My Name', before hinting that a "badass" track called 'S&M' would also become a single by revealing that she had already devised a "completely unexpected" video to accompany it.

She proceeded to play the songs 'Cheers', dedicated to "all the semi-alcoholics around the world", and 'California King Bed', a ballad about "falling in love" and "feeling so close to someone but so far away".

Furthermore, in a brief Q&A session after the playback, she announced that a track called 'Raining Men', a collaboration with Nicki Minaj, would also appear on the record.

She described the album as a whole as "expressive", "attention-grabbing" and "filled with lots of different sounds", before summarising its vibe by saying: "You just have to play it really loud."

Loud will be released in the UK on November 15.

popjustice's review of the albums tracks previewed at the listening party in London:

Rihanna said that the songs were "five of the best, five of my favourite" from 'Loud'. Perhaps they take a few listens, perhaps they will make more sense in the context of the rest of the album, but if you think about the first best songs off 'Good Girl Gone Bad' and the five best songs off 'Rated R', the five songs we heard once on Tuesday night seemed nowhere near that standard. That's a pretty high standard, of course, and none of the songs from Tuesday were utter stinkers, but we felt pretty underwhelmed by what a lot of what we heard. This said, we look forward to hearing the songs again, getting to know them better, and performing a massive u-turn in due course.

They played Only Girl twice last night. God, what a great song.

Also they played Celebration :shock: The place went down, can't believe it wasn't a bigger hit.
