To be honest I have never thought of Say It as urban... but its true she does show a softer side.
Rihanna's tough side can be created into something more 'genius' than her soft side, Rihanna commanding things is what the Navy loves. Only Girl, whilst not necessarily 'tough', is still Rih taking control of her man and forcing him to please her. (
) This is why Only Girl is still one of Rih's best songs. Just an example I thought of, haha.
My favourite song, Te Amo, is Rihanna taking control of a relationship with a woman and how she breaks the other woman's heart.
Although these songs are Rihanna being in control, *some* songs of hers where she is vulnerable are really amazing that would go down in the "Rihanna's best song" books. (Excluding the Rated R ballads) The song I am thinking of is Disturbia, where Rihanna is controlled by the mind and how it envelopes her.
Feel free to add more examples, haha.
