Though is it just me or are the parts of the song that sound like it's skipping!? It's kinda jarring. It has a nice beat with good lyrics and I enjoyed it, especially with the incorporation of the Spanish guitar instrumental. Rihanna here sings about being a woman heartbroken and scorned by her lover, not wanting the relationship to end. This is an R&B track that reminds me of a track off of Destiny's Child's "Writings On The Wall". The melody is pretty catchy, if not needlessly repetitive. Though I assume it means it's about being so in love your in a daze. Now what that "La, La, La" is up to the imagination. The album changes genres with this bouncy R&B track that sees Rihanna singing about a guy that got her singing "La, La, La". But there's nothing that stands out on this track, kinda fills like filler to me.
Vybz Kartel comes in for a decent verse when the beat become switches up and gets heavier. Rihanna sings of a man who doesn't love her and her yearning to be free from such a relationship. This is another nice (if not a bit forgettable) dancehall track. "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" Featuring Vybz Kartel Overall, a solid single that should have had more success on the charts and airplay.Ĥ. The beat is great, the lyrics are sweet and Rihanna sounds good.
I'd say it's one of her best pre-"Umbrella" singles with its great reggae/pop crossover appeal. I really enjoyed this track ever since it came out in '05. I really like the chill, cool vibe of the song and it's Caribbean charm is undeniable. This is a smooth dancehall track that sees Rihanna singing about a boy or former lover that does things to her she can't express. It was a nice introduction for her and I like to call this genre "teen dancehall". Then again, "Pon De Replay" was only a moderate hit compared to Rihanna's bigger hits even if it did reach #2 on the Hot 100 but it's one that shouldn't be forgotten. It's sad though that Rihanna seems to shy away from her pre-"Good Girl Gone Bad" hits. It has decent lyrics, a great beat and melody that's easy on the ears. This is a cute club banger!! It reminds me immediately of the summer of '05 when Rihanna first came out. It made me wonder: is Rihanna's music really that good? Well, let's started with her first album back in '05: I wonder how an artist like her has reached such a successful point in her career where she has more #1s than Michael Jackson and is one of the best selling artists of all time. So after the release of "Anti" this year, I decided I wanted to look back at Rihanna's music career the past 10 years.
