What do you mean by cohesive? Weren't Rated R and Unap both cohesive? Or you mean cohesive = uni-genre?

Loud is by far the most uncohesive album she has done, it has no direction whatsoever but it has the theme: loudness. All the songs in Loud were actually loud. Her albums have alwyas been a clash of genres. I never want her to do an album full of reggae, or full of edm, I want her to do what she do best, mixing genres. And in this album, I want her to discover new sound.

LOUD is actually cohesive.. In interview she said she called the album LOUD because all the songs were LOUD in their own way...

WMN ruled the radio for seven weeks straight but I think WFL is her biggest radio hit

.

It is cohesive for being loud but when it comes to it genres and tracklisting, it wasn't. Tracks 8-11 don't blend well with each other. It is an album full of songs thrown together. It was all over the place for that matter. Nonetheless, it is a better pop album.

My thoughts exactly! I started to love her with RATED R.

I need something experimental like LIP or DOL.

My little 13 year old cousin loves her and she said her voice is great. She put both of her hands beside her head and made a boom explosion in reference to Rihanna's voice.. And she said that everyone in her school love TM. Rihanna, her undeniable impact on this generation.

Not really sure how to feel about it. I can't imagine how their voices will fit together but I'm here for a heavy latin sound kinda like Hips Don't Lie meets Te Amo. Crazy!!! Bring it on ladies.

Rihanna wont collaborate with shakira knowing the fact that she has done a collaboration with Beyonce which was a huge hit .Personally i wont like them collaborating either

But that is the point if LOUD.. Lol

You're exactly right. I would like R8 as a whole to be cohesive similar to Rated R or Unapologetic.

I don't think RIh will ever do just one genre on an album. Variety is what she's good at so why stop now.

This makes absolutely no sense. Why would Rihanna support Miley on tour when Rihanna is the bigger act and they're not even "cool" like that

Navy look SRP just said this is the first photo they sent to DefJam along with the Demo.
