Yes! She experimented with what she wanted and this is probably what she wanted as a final product. Some songs on the album are her best of her career ("Love on the Brain" for example).
yes omg. It's like she got into my brainwaves and found the perfect combination of audio that would incite my most deepest sensorial pleasure receptors. also the vijewuhlz are amazing.
As a non-stan of RiRi, I say that yes, the album is surprisingly good. But if I stanned for her, I'd say no because the album is too short with some songs ridiculously short imo and not good enough to make up for 3 years long drought.
