Photographs - Rihanna (Best track on Rated R)

Really enjoying this one, it's very chilled out and her subtle vocals are much more pleasant than when she pushes her voice too hard:



I like 2:16 onwards best:

All I've got are these photographs
I remember when I used to make you laugh
I don't wanna be stuck in the past...
But you're all that I have, that I had
And I don't wanna lose what we've built this far
This is me and you, you're my superstar
I'll give anything baby, here's my heart
My heart..my heart...

This track, written by Will I. AM. for his group, the Peas, for their upcoming album. It was given to Rihanna, as soon as she heard it.

Like I said, the BEP's had all ready prepared it for their CD. Fergie's vocal's were replaced with Rihanna.

I don't hate it. But I'm not crazy about it either. I think Rihanna said that it would get the single treatment in the future.

She sounds alot like Fergie in the track, personally I like it alot. I think it's one of the few Rated R tracks that live up stand on their own.

Yeah, according to RiRi, Will didn't want to play the song. She had heard about it. She went to his studio and hung out. She kept urging him to play the song, and he finally relented. She said she was taking it, after she heard it.

She went on and on about how the song fit her life, and how it meant a lot to her blah blah blah. I just can't take the girl seriously. I was rolleyes all the way through the part of the interview I saw. (It was on FUSE.)

You know, I look at people like her and Chris Brown and I have realized that despite their celebrity, they are still young and immature kids who are trying so hard to act like adults but don't know how.

That doesn't even sound like Rihanna singing. Just like "Firebomb" sounds like someone else too. And though it's fire, lol, "Rude Boy" sounds like Beyonce. lol
