SnapTrakks: Listen To Rihanna’s “We Found Love” Five Different Ways

November 23, 2011 |  by

Every time I get wind of Rihanna releasing a new album my initial reaction is always the same. Again? So soon? And after one listen of that said album I understand why. Today’s pop stars have to be more mindful of output than their predecessors. It’s why Britney achieved what Madonna achieved in 10 years and Rihanna seemingly did what Britney did in a mere five. Last week Rihanna released her sixth studio album Talk That That. Clocking in at under 40 minutes, Talk doesn’t break much new ground, but when it ain’t broke don’t fix it, and Rihanna’s team of producers, writers, stylists and art directors get it right every time.

Pop Revival & The Rap Anthem: Our Favorite Albums Of 2010 Part 1

December 31, 2010 |  by

2010 may have sucked when it came to substance and clear common sense. Chris Brown I’m talking you. And of course underage four loko lovers around the world. But at least we had a full 365 days of awesome music. I can’t say enough about the amount of exceptional material artists put out this year. Indie darlings like Theophilus London & J*DaVeY kept us content with the most ingenious tracks and music heavyweights like Kanye West & Cee Lo gave us albums. Yeezy’s twisted fantasy, Katy Perry’s sugar coated pop bliss, Gil Scott Hering’s rebel anthem, this is our soundtrack for 2010.
