Talk That Talk
is the latest from superstar Rihanna and although there's plenty of predictable songs all about sex, this album shows off her vocals more than previous records.
I've been listening to this album constantly since I received it and I have to say, although many artists seem to dry out after a few albums, Rihanna just keeps getting better.
Talk That Talk is Rihanna's sixth Island Def Jam studio album.
It's the follow-up to Loud - an industry phenomenon, that went multi-platinum worldwide with global sales of nearly eight million.
That success seemed hard to beat with one hit after another, but Rihanna has produced another beauty.
I'm convinced this one is even better than her previous album.
Check out We Found Love featuring Calvin Harris, which is ruling charts around the world.
There are tracks on this album that are some of Rihanna's finest, including - Drunk on Love, Talk That Talk and You Da One.
Her work wouldn't be Rihanna's without strong sexual innuendo and she provides that on tracks Cockiness and Roc Me Out. You've got to love her sexual confidence.
The vocals she flaunts in Talk That Talk show this woman can sing. Rihanna is a star and there aren't many artists at her level.
