2006 was the year when POP music came back with a bang!

Up until 2006, especially from 2002/2003 onwards, true pop music wasn't doing as well in the charts, with Indie & R&B music mainly taking hold.

In 2006, we saw two of the biggest pop bands of their time reform, we had the return of Take That & All Saints.

We also saw the return of Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera & Nelly Furtado made a triumphant comeback with her edgy Maneater.

Sugababes & Girls Aloud were still top of their game, with both releasing Best-Of albums later in the year.

2006 was also the year we saw Shakira's Hips (that don't lie), Infernal with their Euro-Pop anthem "From Paris to Berlin".

2006 was a great year looking back, and put the noughites on the spot for finally bringing out some defining tracks. It also was the year that the legend was discovered, who would later go on to big things, Leona Lewis.

When you have read through this journal, you're supposed to write at least one (but max. 4) band after every letter. You can put bands that you don't listen to anymore but you once listened to a lot, or bands that you've just started diggin' and of course; your all time favorites.

What exactly do they mean to accuse critics of being jealous of? Presumably the artist they are criticizing. But what do they mean, specifically? Their money? Their fame? These things are meaningless, a fact we were all supposed to learn from Disney movies when we were six. Their talent? That makes little sense—why would critics be jealous of something that they maintain doesn't exist? Unless they propose to know that critics don't actually think such-and-such pop artist lacks talent—but how exactly do they come by that knowledge? Why do these pop fans imagine themselves to be such brilliant psychoanalysts? How do they think they are able to establish such transcendent connections to the deepest psyches of other humans? If they are able to do so, why do we even have a CIA? Why not draft a legion of pop fans to extract intelligence directly from the very minds of our enemies?

My friends, I am merely asking the questions that need to be asked.

Here is the album review I promised on my twitter yesterday! Before I start, once again I want to thank you all for supporting my blog, both my music reviews and my personal entries. I really appreciate all the views and I hope that you'll keep it locked here because I ain't stoppin'! :) Thankyou.



You already know what I think of Russian Roulette, and the other 3 songs we've heard already from Rated R. Generally, they portray a darker, edgier side to Rihanna, both in the production (deeper, more menacing beats) and lyrical content that includes a bit of cursing, a lot of swagger and references to pain, trials and tribulations. "Russian Roulette", "Wait Your Turn" and "Hard" are more or less indicative of the album as a whole. In contrast to her previous smash Good Girl Gone Bad, it's a lot less uptempo. The songs are mainly midtempos and ballads, which may alienate a lot of fans who want her faster, danceable material (though "Hard" and "Rude Boy" cater to these needs, and do so well with swagger lyrics - the latter seeing Rihanna come on to a 'rude boy' as if she were the guy who is gonna "put it on you"). However, the slower material allows for two major things: one, to prove that Rihanna can actually sing. Okay, she's no Beyoncé, but she holds her own a lot better than many people might expect. "Russian Roulette" and closing standout "The Last Song" don't employ lots of vocal runs, but they emphasise strong, clear vocals that prove Rihanna's got a voice as well as a body - btw. the artwork for this era is immense! - and also go well with the more emotionally searching and vulnerable material. Two, it allows for Rihanna to delve into her pain, and although it's never made explicit that she's referencing her love, abuse and love lost with Chris Brown, songs such as "Stupid In Love" and the epic "Cold Case Love" immediately bring that whole affair to mind.

Not every song is concerned with love lost. "Te Amo" is about a girl who's infatuated with Rihanna, and its undulating beats have been beefed up slightly on the album version to make it more hypnotic and possibly (along with "Rude Boy") the song that would have slotted in nicely on Good Girl Gone Bad. "ROCKSTAR 101" is backed up by Slash's guitar work and like "Hard" and "Wait Your Turn", it demonstrates Rihanna's confidence in herself - something she perhaps wants to emphasise. She is fierce! However, compared to some of the other tracks, "Rockstar 101" falls somewhat flat, as it doesn't have as much depth as the emotionally-charged midtempos, nor does it ring as true as the harder-knocking songs. It does demonstrate that Rihanna is not an urban artist - she's a pop singer who encompasses a range of music. On this album, she combines elements of rock, pop, R&B and melds them together to create a dark album that works for the most part. And credit goes to her for trying to improve on each album - like Good Girl Gone Bad, the amount of filler on the disc is fairly minimal (in contrast to her first two records) and she's tried to do something different that has evolved as she has as a person. So I must applaud that.

A couple of the ballads such as "Stupid In Love" and "Photographs" (which benefits from will.i.am's synthed beats that kick in midway) are perfectly solid, but pale in comparison to the best tracks. These are, in a nutshell, first single "Russian Roulette", "Fire Bomb", "G4L", "Cold Case Love" and "The Last Song". These all work because Rihanna is putting herself out there vocally and emotionally. The producers do a fantastic job (praise must go in particular to Justin Timberlake and The Ys' work on "Cold Case Love", which shows a gradual building of beatboxing, standard beats, guitars and strings to an epic climax that fades out by itself and underline Rihanna's pain at a love misfired - "Release me now 'cause I did my time") more or less throughout, but Rihanna herself carries the songs. "Fire Bomb" has been compared to something by Kelly Clarkson, but in my opinion it knocks much harder and is a compelling contrast to expectations - most people would expect a club banger from the title, when in fact it's a slow pop/rock ballad which essentially says "if I'm going down in flames, you're coming with me". "G4L" is one of the darkest songs which shows Rihanna pledging to be "down 4 life", ride or die until the end. The off-key tweaks at the beginning signal something mysterious, and the lyric "I lick the gun when I'm done 'cause I know that revenge is sweet" is one of the best opening salvos I can remember. The track brings to mind the tiny gun tattoos on the sides of Rihanna's breasts, demonstrating that even if she may be a sweet person on the surface, she's also a strong and determined one - her attitude is reflected in her music as much as her body art.

"The Last Song" was the track that stood out to me most from listening to the 30-second snippets, and it doesn't disappoint - it's a perfect closer to the album, not only in name but in texture also. It employs a soaring guitar and heartwrenching lyrics, chronicling the realisation of a breakup. "The sad song ends up being the last song you'll ever hear." Rihanna's spare vocals almost seem to cry the lyrics throughout the track, and the buildup throughout the song until near the end where all the instruments fade out is done perfectly. Rihanna said that she wanted Lil' Wayne and Kings of Leon to like her album, demonstrating her desired blend of urban and rock. The album is definitely a mélange of styles, but apart from "Hard", I don't see enough hip-hop for Weezy to connect with, and the rock elements are nowhere near as indie-pop as Kings Of Leon. However, the soaring guitars provide something edgier and deeper within the context of a pop album, and the hard-hitting beats and synths knock plenty - the combination of which provide something quite extraordinary and special within itself. Rihanna should be proud of this record.

Rated R has a focused aggression to it that rings truer than it did on Good Girl Gone Bad. Despite the lack of uptempo smashes, it's a fantastic record that hopefully will have as much repeat-play value as her previous record. Whether it's because of her personal struggles, maturity as a young woman or desire to experiment musically (probably a combination of all three), Rated R shows growth. I pray that her label doesn't re-release the album, since it's perfect as it is and comes across as something sincere, rather than designed to make money as a light pop confection. Why I'm impressed with Rated R, beyond the simple fact that most of the songs are solid or better, is because it's cohesive. All the songs work together to make the album more than the sum of its parts. It has a big emotional impact, and it sets a musical mood (dark, edgy and yet heartfelt) that doesn't let up throughout - in her own words, from "Hard", "that Rihanna rain/reign". I didn't know if she had it in her to best Good Girl Gone Bad, but even if it doesn't have as many number 1 smashes and addictive beats, Rated R is a musical step forward that I personally value that little bit more.
