TALK about striking while the iron is hot.
Barbados' finest Rihanna has been everywhere lately, boasting seven hit singles from last year's Loud CD.
Add to that collabs with David Guetta, Coldplay, Eminem and Kanye West and you have the hottest thing in pop music.
Talk That Talk is Ri-Ri's third album in as many years and sees the 23-year-old again blend house, R&B, reggae and pop.
Lead single We Found Love with Calvin Harris is hands-down one of the dance tracks of the year while a likely future single Where Have You Been features a very Aussie hook — "I've been everywhere, man".
Jay-Z mails in a rap in the title track. Despite this, it'll be a hit.
The buzzy mini-track Birthday Cake gets ultra-saucy, the ballad Farewell is a showcase for Ms Fenty's voice and the organic We All Want Love is hard to ignore.
RATING: ★★★
IN SHORT: Prolific
