This is what the Guardian had to say about Red Lipstick! I am ready to hear this one:

Originally titled Saxon and produced by British duo Chase and Status, this sounds like an off-cut from Rated R, which is exactly what it is. Not that it's not a good song, it's just the big gloomy beats and the drip-feed tempo is reminiscent of G4L or Wait Your Turn. It's much more aggressive than the other tracks and there's one bit where Rihanna growls: "Let me grab my dick while you sit on top." Oh my.

And here's "Fool In Love"... for me "Do Your Thing" sounds kind of bleh from their review, so I won't post it here. But here's what they said about "Fool In Love."

"Mama I've found a man who loves me and understands/ Papa he's quite the man, he adores me, he's my biggest fan," opens this stately, downtempo track about how Rihanna's in love with someone other people might not like (I wouldn't mind betting some reviews will mention Chris Brown at this point). Again, it has a big, echoey drum sound and once again she sounds much better when she gets to really open out that voice. For the first 90 seconds it's just Rihanna and some synths, before the drums kick in and the whole thing takes off. There's a great moment when the music drops slightly and she sings, "Papa, are you ashamed of how your little girl turned out?", sounding quite vulnerable.
