Jay-Z signed the then 17 year old Rihanna to Def Jam and found her “Umbrella” back in the day so, after the relative death by boredom Rated R, it comes as zero surprise to hear that she has dropped her management and upped with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
“The Only Girl (In The World)”, Rihanna’s latest song, is a fine return to form and the buzz on her upcoming album Loud is deafening.Perhaps Rihanna has had to five up her artistic pretensions, but really, she wasn’t good as the face of battered women everywhere.
And sucked live big time.
I predict a huge, huge smash album.
