Rihanna's 'Unapologetic' Album Is A Love Letter To Chris Brown

Rihanna has released her seventh studio album in as many years — She’s a hard working woman and it certainly pays off! I’ve listened to ‘Unapologetic’ and I can tell you it’s one of Rihanna’s best albums to date!

Rihanna released Unapologetic on Nov. 19, an album that sounds a lot like a love letter to Chris Brown.

Not only is Rihanna’s duet with Chris, “Nobody’s Business,” the hottest track on the album, but every other song is filled with lyrics pertaining to her five-year tumultuous relationship with Breezy.

On “Jump,” Rihanna sings “When you f**k them other girls I bet they be wondering why you always call my name.” Could this be a diss towards Karrueche Tran? “You don’t need another lover,” she continues.

On “Love Without Tragedy” Rihanna seems to recount Chris’ deadly assault on her in 2009. She sings, “You took the best years of my life/I took the best years of your life/Felt like love struck me in the night/I prayed that love don’t strike twice/Red lip stick, rose petals, heart break/I was this marilyn monroe/Wrong nights, tuxedo, fast cars/A james dean on the low.” She then asks “What’s Love Without Tragedy?” If we’ve learned anything from Rihanna and Chris over the last five years, love without tragedy is not in the cards for them. Despite their hardships, they do truly love one another.

Furthermore, on “Lost In Paradise,” Rihanna coos, “It may be wrong, but it feels so right.” Of course, the media portrays Chris to be a monster, but Rihanna is only following her heart. To her, a love with Chris “feels” right. Can we really argue with that?

The lyrics on this new album are very telling. Also, there’s a good mix of club anthems and slower, emotional tracks that will satisfy any listener.

I strongly suggest purchasing the deluxe version of Unapologetic as you’ll receive her hot duet with Chris, a new track with Eminem, David Guetta and more!

Favorite Tracks: ”Nobody’s Business,” “Jump” and “Diamonds.”

I’m not a big pop fan but I downloaded this album after hearing “stay” at the Grammy’s. This album is definitely about Chris Brown, and it is very vulnerable. This is an honest album, which I respect. Let her live!

I love that u r back together

I like rihanna’s new album, they must stay together in their relationship they just need three things understanding, faith and trust

Stay, Nobody’s Business, What Now, Half of Me and Love Without Tragedy/ Mother Mary are my favorites. (I know…lol…half the CD. But those songs just seem to say so much). I want to cry just listening to some of her lyrics. She seem so lonely even while surrounded by so many.

But I agree with you Christopher R., this was for Chris. I hope he listens with open ears and an understanding heart. She seems to be telling him her struggles from the then to now. I also felt like for the first time she is doing something she wants to do with regards to her music (tempo) choices in this album. This one also seemed more cathartic…like she’s finally able to clear the air in the way most artist (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Kelly Clarkson, etc.) do. I really like this album. I wish her luck with it.

Her album is out today & I Love it

Don’t be a hater Jaki cuz nothing u say will change it

She should have recorded “I’m not your punching bag”.

Now that wasn’t nice. It was just plain mean and ugly. Remember; “God don’t like ugly.”

Do you feel good about your comments. You sound really ignorant. Get educated and I hope God shine on you. Have a blessed day.

shut up

Great Review. It was very positive and I can tell you truly listened to the album without judging Rihanna for the hardships of her relationship with Chris Brown.

Thank you. I did thoroughly enjoy listening to the entire album. What’s your favorite track?

I have so many but “Stay” and “Half of It” really does it for me But then “No Love Allowed ” comes on and blows me away. “Jump is also a favorite…I like NB but not my all time favorite. It is an amazing album ..She had done herself proud with this one. Its Rated R just not as dark. Love it!!
