Product Description

 
Personnel: Rihanna (vocals); Elephant Man, Kardinal Offishall (vocals); Vybz Kartel, J-Status (rap vocals); Mikkel SE (various instruments); Carl Sturken (guitar, piano, keyboards, programming); Richard Locker (cello); Larry Glazener (bass instrument); Full Force, Sharina Sharpe (background vocals). Taking its cue from the rhythms of dancehall and reggaeton, Rihanna's MUSIC OF THE SUN is a dance-pop record with enough distinctive accents and flavors to make it stand out from the crowd. Rihanna's debut takes island-influenced beats and Jamaican-inflected accents and superimposes them on straight-up contemporary R&B. The combination works nicely, as evidenced by "Pon de Replay," the album's incredibly infectious lead-off track and single. Rihanna effectively synthesizes reggae's cadences into her singsong melodies, bringing some of that genre's sunny beauty to the urban pulses of modern dance-pop, making MUSIC OF THE SUN a perfect soundtrack for the club dancefloor and outdoor summer parties alike.

She's Bajan? Fooled Me for Sure

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: This ain't dancehall. This is Top 40 R&B and it gets five stars if you're young at heart, but an old soul like me ain't gonna buy into this crap.
Review: Over the last few years I've become very fond of Caribbean music, and if you appreciate Caribbean music as well, you'll understand why new artists like Rihanna upset me.

It's not that Rihanna was born in America and her parents are from...

If It?s Good Music That You Want, Make Rihanna Your Girl!

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: !____!____!____!
Review: You have to wonder what it was about then-16 year old Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty that impressed Def Jam/Roc-A-Fella CEO Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter so much. Was it her surprisingly strong soprano? Her naturally striking good looks? Her impressive footwork on...

Rihanna does Def Jam proud with her sun kissed debut!

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Rihanna has made a fun, summery album even though it's September. She definitely should have a future with her inviting vocals and distinctive sound.
Review: Rihanna, a Barbados beauty with green eyes and exotic looks, spiced up the summer with her highly successful dance single "Pon De Replay". An import from the islands, she grew up winning talent shows and beauty pagents and eventually had the chance...
