Rihanna Goes Hard On New Album!
Filed under: Rihanna
Finally! A song off RiRi's upcoming release that we actually like!
THIS should have been the first single!
The song is called Hard and it features Young Jeezy. We're told it was purposefully leaked online after second single, Wait Your Turn, was met with disappointment and first single, Russian Roulette, failed to catch on at radio or with digital sales.
It is obvious that Rihanna is going in a very different direction musically than she did in her last album - and all her previous albums before that too.
We're not sure we love this new direction, though.
Do U????
Listen to Hard (below).
Thoughts???

Poppa Lohan Says He'll Shut Up If LiLo Goes To Rehab
Shut Up, K-Stew!!!!
Oh no…I don't like it. Maybe she needed to take some more time off to heal and get herself together.
Its ok…ive heard better. Shes weak vocally…1st!
lame ,horrible ,she's over! Queen B and Godney FTW!
I love the song!
1st
1st!!!
i love her ):
nah. sorry RiRi but your old songs are better
got rape?
Yes.FINALLY a good song from her. I'm not sure if I like all of the ah yeah yeahs in the beginning and throughout the song. LoL I like her accent. She is definitely better than anything Chris Brown can put out. chris beat em down brown is overrated.
These songs dont do anything for me.. it amazes me she decided to use her accent on this song…lol I really like her and i still listen to her first two cds… gggb was a great cd, but it just seemed to reflect her "new" style as determined by whoever made it… i really dont know if she even knows who she is anymore… i miss the little island girl…. like Jay Z said… Hollywood is a drug… when you get it do you really want it?
Love it.
=]
i like this new albun of rihanna the direction of this album in new and diferent thus we did not become bored of rihanna in conclusion i love all of rihanna god or bad
I give up.
thats so shit i think she shouldve just released all her songs off the past album ha ha these are getting worse
great, now I'm angry
Nahhhhh!! i dont like it. What's wrong with her? I really like the old stuff. Russian Rullette was ok.. the 2nd song WACK!!! this 3rd one sucks too.
goin all Kanye on us.
Topping Good Girl Gone Bad is not an easy task. Now she is Bad Girl Good Gone.
Chris Brown fucked her up baaaad.
Like it. Good sample in the background. But prefer her previous album.
i'm trying really hard to like but nah..
This one sucks a fattie bigger than the last few! She'll get played on US radio because the US has no taste and because of her name but, musically, she just died.
Ah man…I am a big fan of hers but this track is also a bit to Hard…the correct word is Dark…Even the MC sounded so so…This track is an be considered and Rap song that is an Album track and not a single…The production sounds like a Dr Dre track but Darker and without crispness that Dre tracks have….She got some bad advice because an album is a team effort…The remixes are going to have to save these album if it doesn't do better with other songs…
And GOD said let it be SO HARD that the ”Yea Yea Yeahs” turn to ”Yes Yes Yes”!!!
Nevertheless Approved!
ok she has completly lost the plot! these songs of hers are really bad! and you would think after what she has been through she would come up with strong music! what a waste
No. Sorry to say, I do like her but not so much this. The 2nd single that u had out before was at least a little better.
Talk about repetitive
I CAN ALREADY see the queens on the dance floor touching themselves to the chorus of this one, not to mention male go-go boys. It will nauseate me.
Rihanna is a legend ! Love this song!!! And all the others! Shes gonna kill it once this album comes out.
where are miss UMBRELLA !!! ???
…………………This song is more like we know Rihanna..but its still bad..she can never have hits like Take a Bow and Umbrella again…!!I dont like it … its na na nah!!…and i dont like her on person side either after i haerd that she is a Satan WORSHIPER…its so dark..she just f* it up for herself…!! Listen 2 Chris Browns Crawl…the girl in the video is CASSIe…how crazy is that!!!
I THINK that she should begin again to be inspired by beyonce
Wow, this song is horrible. Good luck with your career, Rihanna!
not that good
ew! it's so gross
It sucks hard. She is trying to hard to be a tough ghetto chic. And what the f@ck is up with her hair? She needs to take a permanent vacation.
It's better but still not great. I feel like all my fav artists have been disappointing with the newer songs they have out. Oh well.
this is pure garbage. when i heard jay-z's song "run this town" i was like oh ri ri is coming back with a bang…. more like EPIC FAIL. smh. it almost sounds like she is rushing before her times up. quality ri ri quality. with the mentors she has why is she putting out redunkulous music? i want to know who is leaking this and do they actually think those 3 stupid songs are good? at least pull a kayne and make an awesome video that metaphors what happened with chris and the public eye now that would be awesome oooh or make a GOOD song with chris that's something worth talking about.
There was nothing wrong with the other two songs … go to hell. Fast music does not equal to good music. You people are so delusional. YOU have such a double-standard when the Will.I.Am incident you begged for FORGIVENESS yet it appears you have no heart to report on Chris Brown new album. Such as asshole … if people don't go on other sites BLACK blog sites they wouldn't even know that both their teams are cross-promoting them. Some of his family members work for her. Delusional Perez and his lackies who think the industry that love money so much is against both kids. Total Domination for the both of them as she said in Wait Your Turn and this one. What happen to her Glamour interview Perez?
Song is fire just like my baby.
Jezzy is off the hook as always.
P.S. stop paying your friends to talk ish on here … yes it is your site but it has become pathetic. Stop talking crap about these black artists … I don't know why you think you are bigger than life and your word is bond … Good thing someone who you swipe information from said that Lady Gaga will soon be a has-been that comment killed me literally and don't worry I love Gaga but I just have this stinky feeling that she is a fad that will fade away after a few years like Pink did and I love love Pink. As far as Rihanna's voice goes people we all know her vocals are ruff so get over it. If the song matches her voice and it sounds good to you then support her if not then keep your uneducated hating to yourself or NOT.
sounds like a strangulated Donald Duck - Crapola!!!
She's the new Madonna/Janet Jackson/Britney Spears … lol at this stupidity I just said well maybe Madonna - cause she can't dance or have the best of vocals … hmmm Britney too still can't understand why Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson didn't make it further in music than she did … I'm still mad at that …cause I don't see no talent in Britney … come at me Britney fans … don't care … stated my hating like you did on RiRi and now I'm exiting for good.
Kinda better but not her best.
I don't think that any of her new songs have been played in the UK, although I will be proved wrong.
This song sounds "raw" as though it's not been finished yet.
I don't know what some people are saying about her accent. I must be deaf, but I can't tell any difference.
Overall I'm sure about the song, but it'll probably end up being a grower.
Re: MJBambino – she will NEVER EVER be any of them. btw i am black and i still think her music officially is crap. and i honestly think they paid him to say "hard" was good. lmfao hating? i have her albums. i HATE how because we don't agree with her new songs it's hate. how uneducated are you using "hating" lmfao.
It's got a alright sound, but jeez, could her producers BE more lazy? It's EXTREMELY repetative and even the rhyming is lazy. I love Rhianna and I really want her to succeed so I hope they go back get some better talents to fit her sound better than what we've heard so far!
no
Re: blahblehbloo. – What does using the word "HATING" have to do with an education … you sound uber stupid right now … Lawd help you psychos. You must be getting paid by Perez as well. How often do you correct him on his grammar? Probably never … HATING is not a grammar issue rather it is a slang you dummy.
bad… she was better.. its not the same Rihanna anymore..
mmmh… iDUNNO! I think she´s shocked yet :/
Rihannas' flame will burn out quickly….watch! Her voice is mediocre, her dancing minimal, her image is getting old, and while some songs and videos were great, I am afraid she was not the driving force behind them, just the prop that sold the ideas. That can only last for so long. While she is probably a cool chick, unfortunately, she is on the short list of pop relevance
This is horrible too!!! 3 terrible songs in a row??? Every song she use to touch was like magic, you could count on her, or her people to pick a hit, so what happened here???
Re: MJBambino – why would perez pay someone to simply make an opinion. you should feel stupid for that assumption. lmfao. calm down its not that serious. i think it's funny everyone uses that word when someone doesnt agree with them. and its not even the word "hating" you said "uneducated hating" wtf is that? so there is educated hating?
It's horrible.I hated. I always knew that she is a bad singer but I thought she would last in the business because she is edgy. But no. Lame. Good Girl Come Bad was an exception.
me like it allot
perez this is awesome. i just signed to your site and now some random person thinks you pay me. also i got in to my first net argument. so worth it. woot woot.
this is shit
It's a tad better but I still don't like it enough to buy the album. I just don't understand why she deviated from what she's good at which is pop music…this sound doesn't sound more mature rather boring and somewhat unpolished…
what happened to this album being more like disturbia?
it's not like all the other songs of rihana but it's a cool song I like it… =]
shes trying tooo "hard" l@lz! but google this - Lil Wayne, Alex King Ft Shanell - Play In My Band (Remix) - U wont be dissapointed
wow it's really terrible. is she talking about having a boner?
Not something that is going to stand the test of time. I think who ever is influencing her decisions should consider that she is an artist that could stand the test of time and make song choices that will allow for this.
My reaction to this song is What the hell?
She deserves better than to be exploited for profit in this manner.
wow this completely sucked balls. all of her songs did.
Hates it!
Better then Wait Your Turn..
UUUUM no…. disgusting
It blows.
blah. 0 for 3 with this one
Wow, that song sucks! I couldn't even get past the first half of it. No hook at all, and she sounds like she is trying too hard to sound gangsta. Back to the drawing board girl!
Rihanna needs to stop worrying about what she is going to wear everyday and focus on her dying music career. She has lost her Midas touch. Go style your hair differently or wear a revealing shirt because that is the only way you will make the news, NOT your music.
well, this is better than her other two songs… but it still isn't GOOD like disturbia or any of her other hits. i wouldn't want to listen to this on the radio, or in my free time for that matter.
Re: aliahash – she can't come up with anything good bcz she loved the attention she got from Chris hitting her. if she loved it how can she draw anything from it? instead of needing counselling she was frolicking on the beach, then began her stepping out everyday in the most hideous outfits.
plus u are thinking of her as an "artist." artists write their songs about their experiences. she does not. it's the same old shit from other people. she has a team. people who write her music, people who create her music. she is a manufactured pop star. and not a good one at that.
i just watched the beyonce experience dvd last night: bee and the concert was amazing!!!!!! rihanna can NOT, i repeat can NOT compare to beyonce. rhianna can't even dance. please.
u ppl who are in disbelief of why her songs are horrible, face the damn music!: bcz she is a one hit wonder!!!!! it's not rocket science ppl!!
LOL! rhianna thanks for the jokes! plz keep bringing these shitty songs so i can have some laughs! that song is so below average!!!!!!! and the beginning is horrible!: she sounds like a little african boy singing! but u could prbbly find an african boy with a better voice than her! how the hell did she get chosen by jay-z?! her voice sucks, music sucks, and fake "image" sucks!!!!!!!!!!
so she's going much more hard core rap-style, street reggae almost in parts. It's baaaad for her fans. Poor artistic choice. Poor Ri Ri she's trying to be tough, and it's not working.
OMG, What is she doing??? I love RiRi, but so far, i've hated alll the songs you have posted of her new album.
Oh my god, I hate this new rihanna's albun. I think she should stop.
sorry…but i hate it
that's totaly not her style
More of the same nonsense.At this rate Avril's going to own 2010.
Best I can say is I don't hate it! Don't think I would purposefully listen to it again. Perhaps those socks in the chops knocked the talent out of her?
ok… seriously people… she is bringing new material… She isnt going to do what Mariah did with EMC2… If an artist had a huge album… they really cant top it, Example Kelly, Christina, Britney, Mariah, Janet…… Why dont yall just f**** stop listin to the damn song and go listen to Gaga then… cuz damn We ALL KNow her and katy perry new records wont be good… and yall will be sayin the same shit again… SO QUIT Complaining AND GET BACK TO WORK… Thats if U EVEN HAVE A JOB
She looks kind of chunky.
Sucks! She has the worst voice ever!
nup, shit. its lacklustre, absolutely no fire.
IT SUCKS!!!!! i dont like it at alll….she shouldnt of gone in a new direction….horrible album so far…disspaointed riri!
Oh puhhhhleeeese!!! Garbage. She is just as done as Chris Brown.
DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL
this one isn't that great either… =/
SUUUUUUUXXXXXXXSOOOOOOHARDDDDDDD. I MEAN REALLY IT DOES.I LK THE OLD RHIANNA MUSIC BETTER,SORRY.

It's ok… not horrible. Weeeeird though
I'm more fan of her old songs
don't like this song either…really surprising too…
this is horrible. who does she think she is, 50 cent? go back to singing, sweetie, not this weird form of rapping.
Re: J-DOLLA – AMEN!
