With just a span of a year, Rihanna is here once again with her latest album for Loud. I am really surprised for Rihanna as she adds the year 2010 under her belt in releasing a number of smash hit singles. Loud offers great club bangers that you will really enjoy from the beginning to the end. The album starts with one of my favorites and the standout track for S&M, such an addictive track with a crazy lyrics. Her collaboration with Drake for What's My Name? adds another #1 hit from Rihanna as the song does sounds like what the Rihanna we all knew about 5 years ago. Cheers (Drink To That) had a very irresistible sample of Avril Lavigne's I'm With You and that's why probably I had the heart to listen to it. The first single Only Girl (In The World) is one reason why I anticipated for this album, the song is so infectious especially the first and second part of the song, here Rihanna sings to his men telling that she should be the only girl in his life. The slow and beautiful California King Bed is another memorable song from this album, its lyrics are sweet in the verses while Rihanna delivers a powerful note at the latter part of the song. Other tracks that I enjoy from Loud are here collaboration from Nicki Minaj for Raining Men and Skin. The album ends with Rihanna doing a take of her smash hit for the year with Eminem for Love The Way You Lie Part II. Everyone is so in love with this song, I personally can't decide which part I like better. Rihanna definitely had a great 2010, she scored four #1 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 and two of those are found on the Loud album. This album is another achievement for Rihanna plus this will add to my collection of her hits which I can enjoy for the next couple of months until she released another album.
