Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born 20 February 1988) is a Barbadian singer who debuted with Music of the Sun (2005) and rose to international fame with hits such as "Umbrella", "We Found Love" and "Diamonds".

Frequent collaborations with producers and artists (Stargate, David Guetta, Jay-Z, Calvin Harris). Publicly linked to a high-profile assault by Chris Brown in 2009 (widely reported). Known for genre-mixing, high-profile singles, and a heavily commercial pop image.

DeBaser's reviews present Rihanna as a massively successful pop chameleon, praised for hit-making and versatility but criticized for commercialism and uneven artistic focus. Reviews oscillate between admiration for specific songs and dismissals of albums as product-driven. Recurring topics: collaborators, genre-mixing, sexed-up image, and the Chris Brown episode.

For:Fans of mainstream pop, music critics, readers interested in production and pop industry critique

 the album is empty, empty, empty.

 No. Bah. Confusion. Some songs may even seem nice, but overall it’s an album that has no reason to exist: made just for the sake of it, to make money.

 Rihanna: for some the death of music, for others the heiress of spectacular pop, for still others a good onanistic pastime.
