Rihanna's 'Diamonds' tops Hot 100, 'Unapologetic' to debut big
they have rekindled their romance, singing lyrics such as "your love is perfection" and "you'll always be mine."Critics have found more evidence of Rihanna drawing on her tumultuous relationship with Brown on "Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary," which follows "Nobody's Business" on the album. In it, Rihanna sings "felt like love struck me in the night," and makes references to "one drive, injured us fatally," possibly alluding to the night Brown assaulted her.
Rolling Stone magazine's Jon Dolan gave "Unapologetic" three and a half out of five stars, noting that Brown was "like a co-writer throughout.
"Rihanna made sure to capitalize on the success of her biggest hit to date, last year's Calvin Harris electro-dance production "We Found Love.
" On "Unapologetic," the singer brings French DJ David Guetta on "Right Now," a thumping dance track.
The singer also reteamed with rapper Eminem on "Numb," following their 2010 hit song "Love The Way You Lie." Unlike the emotional content of domestic abuse on their previous collaboration, the Barbadian singer and Detroit rapper lightened the tone for "Numb," singing about love in the club scene.
The songstress also softened up for two intimate piano-led ballads, "What Now" and "Stay," in which she recruited newcomer singer Mikkey Ekko for an stripped-down performance, using the opportunity to showcase her voice.
