The title of pop princess is often thrown around in the music industry, with the holder of such a title remaining highly debatable, but Barbados-born R&B singer Rihanna has emerged in recent years as a strong contender, and these remarkable Rihanna innovations show she isn’t about to back down now.
Whether she’s stripping down in the backseat of a limo for a new Armani ad, or debuting an edgy new ‘do, Rihanna definitely knows how to stay in the spotlight and isn’t afraid of a little controversy. It isn’t often that stars are able to make full career recoveries after traumatic public breakups, but Rihanna seems to have only come back stronger after the domestic violence case with Chris Brown in 2009.
As a longtime fan of the now 23-year-old singer, I couldn’t be happier with where her career seems to be headed. If you haven’t caught the video for her latest single, We Found Love featuring Calvin Harris, you might want to take a seat and prepare to be blown away by the incredible imagery and fusion of pop, R&B and dance music found in the hit. After reading through these remarkable Rihanna innovations, I can’t wait to get my hands on her new album, ‘Talk That Talk,’ set for a November 21, 2011 release.
