I know the Rih base might not be for me to post in, but I just wanted to ask, If I wanted to get into Rih's discog, which Album should be my starting point? |
You know what, start from 'Music of the Sun' to 'ANTI'.
Just to feel her growth as an artist and to live again in every year from 2005 to 2016; because with every album it will tell you exactly what was in Rih's mind at that time.
"Music of the Sun"
A young girl from Barbados having her best time of her life by releasing her debut not knowing what to expect.
The album is underrated with great dancehall tracks.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- The Last Time
- Music of the Sun
- Let Me
- Now I Know
"A Girl Like Me"
Baby Rih trying to figure out her sound by releasing her only album that was filled with amazing R&B/Pop ballads.
Unfaithful was my first love when I started stanning for her back in 2007.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Kisses Don't Lie
- Dem Haters
- A Girl Like Me
- P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)
"Good Girl Gone Bad"
The **** you album. The album that brought to us our badgalriri.
As she said in the title track: "you better learn how to treat us right cause once a good girl goes bad... WE DIE FOREVER!."
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Push Up On Me
- Breakin' Dishes
- Sell Me Candy
- Question Existing
- Good Girl Gone Bad
"Rated R"
The album is Rih's most unique album. I don't think that she'll record something like that ever again due to it being a personal album that tells you about the man that she loved (her first love), and how he managed to ruin a good thing.
The album takes into a journey of good times and bad times on a relationship. In the most songs she sounds really angry, but you can hear a fun side, too, with the ultimate dance pop record, Rude Boy.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Fire Bomb
- G4L
- Cold Case Love
- The Last Song
"Loud"
I can only say about the album that is her Mary's No More Drama.
She wanted to forget the past and live the present with us by releasing a great POP record that shook the word by selling more than 6m copies WW.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Fading
- Skin
- Love the Way You Lie (Part II)
"Talk That Talk"
Her 'part 2' of having fun but with this album she started to become personal again talking about love.
I remember some of the Navy were bothered by the amount of the word "LOVE".
She even got back with Chris in terms of making music (I think they were hooking up at that time too) and it caused a huge backlash that lasted for a minute.
BTW, WHYB started smashing at the time, so it didn't end her career at all like some said back in 2012.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Drunk on Love
- Watch n' Learn
- Red Lipstick
- Do Ya Thang
"Unapologetic"
It was the beginning of a new era.
When Rih knew what she wanted in music.
She wants to make the urban sound her thing and she did it amazingly.
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Phresh Out the Runway
- Nobody's Business
- Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary
- No Love Allowed
- Jump
"ANTI"
When you listen to the album, you can hear that the last album helped Rih to record her best album to date.
It helped her to grow into the artist that we know today, IMO.
Besides, the three years break helped her, too.
The album wasn't rushed and it produced the holy track that is KISS IT ALLAH!!!!!!!!
Songs you should listen to them first (not gonna mention the singles):
- Consideration
- Same Ol’ Mistakes
- Love on the Brain
- Higher
- Sex with Me
So yeah, listen to them from the beginning to the end.
forever relevant 
I need to repent 
Thank you, T3 and G3B sound good places to start.
