Aggressive, industrial, and weird. Rihanna uses her lower register to taunt an ex. It’s unsettling and brilliant—the sound of someone burning a bridge with gasoline.
"Sex With Me," "Kiss It Better," "Love on the Brain." Skip: Nothing. Even the interludes are essential. Verdict: Essential. The last great rockstar album of the streaming era. Have you listened to the Rihanna - ANTI -Deluxe- -2016-Album- recently? Drop a comment below with your favorite deep cut.
The lead single, "Work" (featuring Drake), initially confused radio programmers. It wasn't a typical four-on-the-floor dance track; it was a dancehall-infused, patois-heavy jam that sounded like a late-night club session rather than a manufactured hit. The rest of the album followed suit.
