Even though I wasn’t quite feeling (and still am not feeling) her first single, Rihanna has quite the impressive team behind her, helping her crank out hit after hit.  Her latest effort and sixth studio album (out just one year after her last!) is damn good.  Still getting a review and taste of it (takes me a few spins before I really can start to repeat the album) but so far it has my undivided attention.  Here’s one of her power ballads from Talk That Talk, Farewell.

Being that it appears 2011 is the year of celebrities and musicians putting out their own scent for the masses, it only seemed a matter of time for Rihanna to join the ranks.  I will say this much, I could give a crap less about what her perfume smells like ‘cause her commercial is absolutely beautiful (and even a lil’ sexual).

Sex in the air

I don’t care 

I love the smell of it

God I hate that line, but this song still hurts so good.  Here’s Rihanna’s latest video for her new single S&M.  I really wish Perez Stinkteron didn’t make a cameo, however, seeing him being treated like the dog that he is bound to put a smile on anyone’s face.

Nothing like a chilled out mashup to get the Sunday Funday in you ready.  Here’s Britney Spears Hold It Against Me twisted into a beautiful ballad with Rihanna’s Unfaithful.  Enjoy!

Cover: Ellie Goulding does Rihanna

Damn this is good.  To take a top dance song and turn it into a beautifully orchestrated love song just gives me goosebumps!  Ellie Goulding recently covered Rihanna’s Only Girl In the World and gave it her own spin.  It’s that kind of cover that makes you want to wrap yourself in the electric blanket, sipping hot cocoa (perhaps spiked) by the fireplace.  De-licious!  This song is quickly becoming one of the most covered pop songs for 2010!

Newsflash: Rihanna’s 3rd Single to be S&M!

Team Rihanna has pulled Love the Way You Lie Pt. 2 from their radio push and has started to rotate S&M this morning.  This seems a smart move on their part, considering You Lie is not that danceable and lacks the flare of Eminem.  S&M should fair really well on the charts, being that the radio is still being flooded with dance beat songs.
