LOUD was such a perfect album cover. simple, it's clearly a Rihanna album, and it catches your eye with all of the red. LOUD was executed perfectly in terms of visuals. we need that type of forethought and planning with R8
Firework, Part of Me and Roar have me feeling some type of way right now. Rih could use an inspirational song. I hope Katy ghostwrites on HOME and gives us an inspirational bop.
Roar is a bop but that type of song is not for Rih. I'd much prefer something that feels soaring or euphoric (WFL, Diamonds, All of the Lights, etc.) than something "inspirational."
Songs with a great melody, big chorus, and a chance for her tone to be shown off > something basic and cliche. Rih's unique voice already uplifts things and makes them seem grander imo. She doesn't need simple lyrics to do that.
