After the ABYSMAL choice of You Da One, I'm beyond happy that Talk That Talk has been chosen as the next single. BEYOND excited!

I don't really like the art direction of this era. It's very trashy and unappealing, imo.

I prefer the neater, more consistent looks of Rated R (grimdark grim darkness) and Loud (flowers are pretty).

oh and Talk That Talk's chorus is hotmazing. I love the album itself, just not the look of it.

I too enjoyed the Loud Era's visual.

'Who's that Chick' was so eye-wateringly vibrant.

I haven't watched the You Da One video yet. I haven't heard anything good about it, plus I despise the song, so... I did quite enjoy the video for We Found Love, though. I'd be lying if I said I've seen any Loud era videos other than Only Girl and S&M.

I've seen all of them.

They were always on TV.

All the time.

Every day.

True that, I hope Birthday Cake "extended" version releases soon.
From wiki:

"Due to the high level of demand by the singer's fan to release a full length of "Birthday Cake", Rihanna posted a tweet via her official Twitter, promising that it was the top of her agenda to record and release a full length version of the song.

You Da One is actually enjoyable for me, eventhough the grammatical error bugged me a bit (I guess that gives it an "edge" seeing Riri wants to go gangsta and all).

Now for Talk the Talk, it's not as catchy, and the cursing felt like it's really trying too hard. Maybe it'll grow on me later on. I can only imagine how the lyrics will be censored though, they're quite strict over here.

Gotta be like this:

I be trying to chill, *silent sound* wanna *silent sound* me
Every little city I go, *silent sound* me
Shawty must've heard, got the word, I move that D
Had it by a bladder, she like "oh I gotta *silent sound*"






^LOL yeah kinda like this video.

I don't like the visual here too.. she looks like a ghetto trashy woman. And the smoking and drugs are dull as hell. They're good songs, pity lame videos.

In 'California King Bed' she looks absolutely amazing. Just why.

I was talking about You Da One with my friends yesterday and It irrirated me because I actually had pronouce "Da" instead of 'The'. Yes, I had problems saying it. I don't know why.

OMG, this. I hate the album cover for Talk That Talk and the music videos aren't great at all.

You said earlier you liked Talk That Talk.

Chimpan-Z isn't that great, ditto, but I think his part in the track is decent. Also, TTT got chosen because it's the top viewed track on Youtube after the singles (I'd imagine).

I like the TTT cover and direction, but I think Loud's cover and direction is MUCH better Red hair suits Riri the most, imo. Also, I usually hate jay-z, but his performance in Talk That Talk isn't THAT bad. It is quite good, actually.

I think the deluxe cover is okay.
The standard one should never have been conceived.
