MATADORA is pretty reductive. I hope the album is better

She killed the era for me after this disastrous music video. Good luck, baby girl x

She really ruined her chances Awful MV

Next single from A*POP

TikTok needs to do its damn job and turn this into a hit

SHE'S BACK

Rihanna fans are so obsessed that it's genuinely concerning. Or do they just have no other threads to comment in since she hasn't released anything in over a decade?

I can't stop playing this song after the performance She needs to activate Zara Larsson mode performing Midnight Sun at shopping malls and schools

No, it will get all data. Check your "Start Date" configuration

I've heard a few tracks, she's not distancing herself from Something Beautiful sound

Ok this is bad

Rihanna has always been very self-aware when it comes to her image, that's a fact. But she also basically pioneered the massive writing-camp culture focused on manufacturing hits in the pop music. She's a combination of all those things because she's a rare phenomenon And I vividly remember the radio spin updates for "Rude Boy" constantly climbing thanks to massive payola. The investment was huge because it always paid off

Please, do you REALLY think Rihanna made it big solely based on her talent? Just look at how many powerful people had backing her in the industry, not just a label, but an entire machine behind her. Which is incredible, because she deserves every achievement she has, and no one is going to come close to her catalog of hits anytime soon I mentioned Roc Nation because it's her most recent management company, but Def Jam always invested heavily in radio promotion, and she consistently had a competent team behind her That's exactly where Tyla falls short. She doesn't have a strong ear for hits or a good team to help her choose them, and Epic is absolutely pathetic when it comes to managing their roster. Imagine letting someone release a song like "IS IT LOVE" as a single

It's not even fair to compare Rihanna to Tyla at this point, Roc Nation basically has an A&R department dedicated to her Meanwhile, Tyla is trying to build an era with Epic's $20 budget, made her debut album with niche producers while she's relying on luck and Tik Tok trends

Can y'all fight while listening to the album? We need more successful Black female artists

You sound so stupid Rihanna's fans are doing the same thing to her that Beyoncé's fans did to Rihanna in 2006

She ate so hard with THAT GIRL performance on Today Show

Did you expect anything different from someone who's married to a man who teaches their own children how to shoot guns? Anyway, PinkPantheress has already demolished this ***** legacy

Red by Taylor because I was going through a terrible heartbreak when I was younger I had never liked anything by Taylor until I heard "Begin Again" and started respecting her as a songwriter

Someone needs to flight to Japan! WE NEED SELFISH

They're hiring just any gay to run major social media accounts these days, huh?

He's probably talking about the terrible mixing. It sounds like a voice memo

Is she inviting Dua to a car showroom?

Would this forum even be anything without the daily threads about Lady Gaga's collabs?
