Arthur Rushmer's Album Reviews
Scattershot, but not without its appeal. There are genuine highlights on Anti and some of the most intriguing, honest lines Ri-ri has ever delivered, however, its tempered by the over-reliance on sexuality, most of which feels forced and one or two that are just complete drivel. It doesn't help with juvenile lines like "If you had a twin, I would still choose you".
Pop/RnB has exhausted the well of cheesy love songs, so much like hip-hop it seems that the unfortunate next step is to be as sexually explicit as radio will allow... its a sorry lack of originality. However, she sounds a lot more honest than anything Beyonce or Kanye has done, so that scores extra points for me.
My Top Tracks: Same Ol Mistakes, Love On The Brain, Higher
