Album of the month: Rated R by RIHANNA
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Lara Atson
She’s back with a vengeance with her fourth album - her first release since the February altercation with ex Chris Brown. RiRi started working on the album a month after the incident. “A lot of people are saying things like it’s dark but it’s an honest album. You’ll learn a lot about what’s going through my head,” she says. The 13-track album features the Ne-Yo-produced lead single, Russian Roulette, and highlights such as Photographs and Te Amo, a song about another woman falling in love with her. Rihanna shows with her latest offering how she has grown and is taking more risks. A must-have for fans.
94 HITS IN A ROW by Various artists
Rating: 4/5
Reviewer: Jared Orlin
With three CDs of 64 head-bopping tunes this is the definitive summer dance album. Mixed by Vin Deysel of Highveld Stereo and pre-mixed (pop in and play), there’s plenty to listen to - from commercial hits such as Flash Republic’s Twister and Bob Sinclar’s Love Generation to old-school favourites Wamdue Project’s King of My Castle.
