::: Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad :::

Rihanna is back with her sophomore album "Good Girl Gone Bad" and showcases her range as a still rising star. With the hit single "Umbrella" she shows that she definitely isn't a few hits wonder. Comprised of 12 singles, this album has songs that cover numerous genres of music. Songs such as "Push Up on Me" focuses on the fast beats and synthesizers of techno while the successful "Hate That I Love You" has an alternative feel. Rihanna stayed true to her dancehall roots with "Sell Me Candy" and "Lemme Get That". The last two tracks are like night and day, while "Question Existing" has a smooth sultry feel and is one of the better songs on the album, her closing song "Good Girl Gone Bad" that sounds like it has a little bit of country influence. Overall it's a good album and a few songs may be played in the club. Yet, it's not worth the purchase in that the best songs are already being heard on the airwaves.
