I won't trust those "co-written by..." EVER again.
Why? The note could have had "please incorporate [insert phrase/hook] into the song," which would mean that they had input no matter how small. No matter how you smack it, if someone contributes even a word, their name will be smashed into the credits line.
How does that not make her a real artist? She still writes the songs herself. What that makes her is a good businesswoman, it has nothing to do with her artistry. That's literally what songwriters do. They go to writing sessions constantly day in and day out, writing for our faves, and they get rejected ALL the time. I'm sure any top industry writer has tons and tons of rejected demos sitting around collecting dust.
The only difference is they don't have as big of a voice or a platform as Sia, so she can at least still make money off of them. It's a no-brainer. That doesn't make her "not a real artist".
If anything, the real "unreal artist" would be the one who sits back and lets their manager contact songwriters with directions on what they're looking for. All the while the "artist" is laid back in VIP drinking tequila and living it up, while leagues of songwriters slave away in writing camps trying to make them a hit, only to have the artist's name added to the credits last minute. No shade, that's good business sense too. But if we're talking "real artists" here...
Rihanna is going for an authentic image with music that has soul, but she is putting nothing into it...? So bottom line is, Rihanna is a trend follower, as much as I use her music and like her.

Why are y'all ignoring the title of her album is "this is acting" common sense girls... lol most fo these songs were songs written for someone else not written for herself. That's why she named it that way but shade her I guess.
The most interesting thing was Kanye, the genious getting a crowriter credit when he wasn't even there but he left a note now he's credited

dd, punch ha!
The Navy usually uses Rihanna's laziness/lack of caring as a receipt, but now they're in here fuming because the "Queen slays effortlessly without lifting a finger!!!!!!!" Excuse isn't working?
