Singing sensation Rihanna first appeared on the scene in 2005, with her summer smash "Pon De Replay" which quickly became an anthem of hot fun and sweaty nights. Since then, Rihanna has become the new face of Covergirl, Venus and won a plethora of awards for her chart-topping hits.

Now releasing her third disc in two years, Barbados native Rihanna unveils "Good Girl Gone Bad" and the evidence of her growth in those two short years is overwhelming and is reling on her art as a song stylist to commutate her message. On first listen to "Good Girl Gone Bad," one should realize that the girl of "Music of the Sun" (2005) and ""A Girl Like Me (2006) doesn't exist anymore.

The twelve songs that make-up "Good Girl Gone Bad" are all cutting edge material. Beginning with the hypnotic hotness of "Umbrella," which recently won MTV VMAs for "Video of the Year" and "Monster Single of the Year," Rihanna brilliantly captures the makings of a musical icon. The head nodding beat was crafted by Tricky Stewart. In addition, Tricky makes a second appearance with the equally danceable "Breakin' Dishes." One of the songs Rihanna bought to this groundbreaking project was the rock-out of "Shut Up and Drive." With the power of a rock goddess, this track will surprise many.



Pulling-out the big beats, Rihanna has recruited music man of the year Timbaland. Tim contributes three powerful tracks to "Good Girl Gone Bad." Using his trademarked electro soundscapes, Tim's fractured beats and futuristic sensibility fuels his collaborations with Rihanna. Beginning with the wild ride of "Sell Me Candy," Timbaland's art of funky noise mixes well with Rihanna's maturing vocal palette, along with the Justin Timberlake penned "Rehab" and "Lemme Get That,"

Teaming once again with label-mate, Ne-Yo, who is known as much for his stellar songwriting skills, (he penned her # 1 hit, "Unfaithful"), the two talents share the microphone on the heart-wrenching duet "Hate That I Love You," produced the Stargate. Ne-Yo also lends his writing hand to the Shea Taylor produced "Question Existing" and the bombastic title track.
