This works as the final interlude before the songs which will close the album. It was a tough decision, but we felt like taking it back with Unfaithful would be a good move at this point in the album.ĩ.
RIHANNA SLEDGEHAMMER WRITING CREDIT FULL
Full disclosure, we were stuck between Stay and Unfaithful. It's been a few songs since Work, and we have to keep the energy up. (At some point we need to talk about how talented a songwriter The Dream is, but now's not the time.) Pon de Replay and Don't Stop the Music take us back to the club. Umbrella is the song that some would say put Rihanna over the top. Umbrella, Pon de Replay, and Don't Stop the Music are the perfect songs to follow each other. This is to transition into another part of the album where we'll take it back a little bit.ħ. This song is under a minute and thirty seconds long, so we used it as an interlude. Between this and Better Have My Money, you now know better.Ħ. Can't get close to the halfway point of the album and not have Rihanna remind you at least twice who she is. Rihanna, with the help of Jeezy had to remind you she's not one to be played with. Considering we haven't danced yet, track four is as good a place as any. We knew a Drake feature was going to appear eventually. With co-writing and co-production credits by Kanye West, Bibi Bourelly, and Travis Scott, this song hits different.Ĥ. After two slower songs, we had to take the energy up and bring in this gem of a song. This song was done for Star Trek Beyond so it has a very cinematic feel.ģ. This isn't as popular of a Rihanna song, but as a ballad, it may be one of her most poignant. The production and music can take the album in any direction.Ģ.

As an opener, it just made sense to set a tone. The drums carry her, and with lyrics by Sia, it's a powerful song that sees Rihanna's voice shine more and more with each verse.

This song is a quality mid-tempo Rihanna track. So without further wait, here we are with our Rihanna album followed by playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.ġ. It also made this much more difficult because of the already extensive catalog. We realized that could be an album in and of itself. Disclaimer: We did not use any songs that she's featured in.
