Mess at Rihanna making reggae global. Are Shaggy and Sean Paul chopped liver? Cus last I checked they started the reggae fusion revival in the 00s. Rihanna was one of the last of that wave, and she was lucky enough to stick around b/c she switched to pop.
I'm almost certain that person is trolling. So I played along.
don't be frightened & intimidated by the fact that even after releasing a solid album and having great sales and singles that are doing well both on radio and sales wise she still managed to grab the attention of the nation and got people talking, because you only look pressed and bothered.
the only musical trend rih started for popgirls is trap. pour it up just happened to come before drunk in love, jewels and thugs, & dark horse. birthday cake and wait your turn/hard also give slight trap teas before the genre blew up.

Beyoncé is inspired by Brandy's vocals whether you like it or not. The album vocally takes influence from songs on Afrodisiac.
But all in all, the album was more inspired by Brandy's "Never Say Never." The hooks, the production & the ballads.
Afrodisiac was the main inspiration behind many R&B records though. This you cannot deny
No. Stop trolling Sandy.
Nothing on IASF recalls Brandy to mind.
Not Radio, not Sweet Dreams, not Halo, not Disappear, not Hello, nothing.
The vocal production is totally different. Where are Bey's excessive runs?
Where in Bey's album did you find vocal layering like Focus & I Tried?
Where is Bey's nasality on the album?

Trap has been in southern rap since the mid 2000's tho.
But yes Rihallah brought it to mainstream in 2009. Like with her global and all.
