Stubborn is an R&B song with some synths.
Let Me Go is too urban And Slower is like a total R&B song. 
Side Effects Of You may be the most pop song Fantasia ever recorded, but the melody isn't strong enough for pop radio.
Livin' It Up but goes along with what I said earlier about Overdose, but I think Overdose would need to proceed it and be a hit first
Besides LIU, none of these songs would be hits even if a white person or Rihanna performed them. Like I said none of these are in line with current dance-pop/EDM or even the kind of HAC ballads that are big right now.
Rihanna is the only black girl who is actually keeping up with these trends accurately, so it's not surprise she's the only one with success. |
-I agree, but with right promo she could have gotten some single success.
-Stubborn sounds like Bieber's ALAYLM, which was totally pop. The song could smash TBH.
-Let Me Go is Urban and Slower is R&B, but it also has that Brandy pop flavor.
-Side Effects Of You does have a strong melody wtf. It's super catchy and screams a smash.
-I agree with Ciara.
But she's really not. Rihanna's just the only one who has built a brand on pop music. Other black girls are TRYING pop music, but there names aren't associated with "white" music so they're forever unknown to the GP. Honestly, it's gotten to the point that if a black woman releases ANY song to pop radio, they run a massive risk... like WTF.
