– Rihanna - A Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna will be taking over this summer. I’ve always been rooting for Rihanna since her debut, “Music Of The Sun.” This album approach is necessary for this summer. Rihanna album has something for everyone from pop, dance, alternative, r&b etc. Rihanna’s producers even sampled from popular club dance tracks. The album opens with Jay-Z taking shield under Rihanna’s, “Umbrella.â� � Then the album explodes in your face like pop rock candy. With fun dance tracks such as, “Push Up On Me,” “Don’t Stop The Music,” “Sell Me Candy,” and “Let Me Get That.” Rihanna puts down that good girl façade on, “Breakinâ€� �� Dishes,”as she goes off! For a more alternative approach check out, “Shut Up And Drive,” and “Good Girl Gone Bad.” Rihanna slows it down towards the end of the album with tracks like, “Say It,” “Rehab,” “Hate That I Love You,” and “Question Existing.” The album is solid. I like it. Purchase Album.

Common has the highest expectations set especially after the classic, “Be.” After listening to, “Misunderstood  ,” and “Black Maybe,” he is defiantly going to come close. The production for “Misunderstood  ,” was done by Devo Springsteen. Devo laced up with the sickest sample and the production is flawless. “Black Maybe,” was produced by none other then Kanye West and features Bilal. I’m hoping for nothing but the best and expecting nothing but the best with this project. Lyrically, Common content has always been satisfying. Tell me what you think?
