Rihanna was only 16 when she recorded her debut album 'music of the sun'. The album overall, is a very good album. Rihanna's smooth vocals blend well with the tracks, and she doesnt try to over sing, she knows her vocal range which is a good thing. The music isn't something you hear everyday either. The album contains a mix of R&B, Hip hop, reggae and calypso, which gives it a very summery vibe. You can just imagine lying on a beach under the sun listening to this on your iPod! This album will make you want to dance, even the slow songs could work in a club ( the last time and music of the sun) while the majority of the tracks will instantly light up the dancefloor, no matter where you are (Pon de replay and here I go again) Perhaps the only reason I didnt give this album 5 stars is the fact that the album may not suit the weather we are having. This may sound stupid, but this is the kind of album you listen to in the summer, not freezing in the winter! However the album is still of a great quality, and Rihanna is capable of shining on club tracks and slow songs, which proves she is a versatile artist. If she carries on making albums like this, she is sure to have bright career ahead of her. Matty's top 5 1. If it's lovin that you want 2. The last time 3. Pon de replay 4. Music of the sun 5.

brill CD , i have been lucky enough to go and see her live and this brings back meny memories , old an new
i love all Rihanna songs she is fab, my idol. i now have all the albums and there is no tone song that i dont enjoy listening too.
Her fisrt album,her fisrt success:The Queen of the Millennium concerning music! With caribbean influence and a mixe of sexy attitude and a beautiful voice,Rihanna appeared in 2005 with "Pon De Replay", a phenomenon in uk and in the US.Hail to Rihanna !
can only say for me the album lacks appetite to be a reach-for cd. its ok but no more, it didn't grab me as a must-listen-to-again offering. my feet didn't want to move nor the fingers snap. maybe it'll grow on me in time. we'll see.....
