This Little Girl's Gone Rockin' (Complete Singles Plus Rarities) - Glenda Collins

Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna

Advantages: Slick production with some great party tunes, and some classic ballads
Disadvantages: The original release doesn't include Disturbia or Take a Bow and features a few weak fillers

Good Girl Gone Bad, marks the gear change for Rihanna from a run-of-the-mill Radio friendly act (see: SOS, Pon De Replay) into the international superstar class category that such a fine voice deserves. When my girlfriend first picked this album up I have to say I was apprehensive about being force fed a diet of nothing but Rihanna for the foreseeable future. Whilst Umbrella (Track 1) was undoubtedly one of the signature tracks of 2007, I was unsure whether the rest of the album would prove to be so good. Yet GGGB proved my doubts wrong - a largely upbeat, dancey fest of simple but memorable tunes, slipping straight from the slower opening track to the groovy club-friendly Push Up On Me (co-written by soul legend Lionel Ritchie). From there the album swings on to the Michael Jackson 'Wanna Be Starting Something' sampling mega ...

Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded - Rihanna

Advantages: A great catchy album, a variety of tunes and beats, a mixtures of pop, r'n'b, soul
Disadvantages: none

I purchased this album about a month ago and having been a big fan of Rhianna's music since her first single ponde-replay I was very excited to listen to her long awaited album. Rihanna's multi-platinum selling third album 'Good Girl Gone Bad' is re-released with a host of additional content for fans to enjoy. 'Umbrella', one of the biggest hits of 2007, sent Rihanna into the hearts of R&B fans across the globe, while her album proved she was no 'one hit wonder'. Her soulful and upbeat lyrics are complimented well here by appearances from the likes of Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake. The album is well put together and I enjoyed almost all of the songs on this nice album with one of my favourites being the ever so popular umbrella track which always get me up and dancing. I also really enjoy listening to Rehab and Disturbia as its has ...

Review of Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded - Rihanna

Bad Singer gone good

Advantages: Improved singing, Good songs
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

Girl Gone Bad** The Third album from Rihanna was released on 30th May 2007 and has featured a whopping eight singles with four of them turning into number one hits. She worked with well known producers Stargate, Jay Z and Neyo amongst other lesser known producers including Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. 1.) Umbrella This was the first single from the album and was a hugely talked about track with people either loving or hating it, At the time it was out I really could not listen to it for more than a minute without getting annoyed but I listen to it now and can appreciate it as a good club track which it was huge at the time in clubs. 2.) Push Up on Me Amazingly this uptempo track was co written with Lionel Richie, It has a very catchy feel and has a vibe that would go down well in a club. One ...
