Concocting a persona of interest out of one dynamite musical trick and a bad patch I wouldn't wish on Lindsay Lohan ("Hard," "Rude Boy").?**

僅憑一張狂甩花招的王炸專輯和Lindsay Lohan似凄慘的低谷期便打造出一個鮮活人設(shè)。**

推薦曲："Hard," "Rude Boy"

沒評《LOUD》（《娜喊》）

Talk That Talk (Deluxe Edition)?[Def Jam, 2011]（《娜樣說》豪華版）
Musically, this is pop without shame--her hookiest and most dance-targeted album, decorated with a thoughtful assortment of suitably titillating blats, noodles, dubs, groans, hiccups, boom-booms, cut-ups, speed-ups, xx samples, and spoken-word bits. Lyrically, it celebrates the relationship of sex to love rather than pain, dipping predictably on the heart songs and theme statements that slow down the second half, especially on the standard edition. Associating carnality with love as I do, I prefer it to her earlier albums because I find its many porny moments titillating. Sure Beyoncé is sexier in principle--I like smart girls, not bad girls, especially bad girls with a thing for worse men. But I believe in taking my titillation wherever it raises its spongy head.?A-

音樂上，這是一張毫無羞恥的流行專輯——她最抓耳hook且最主打舞曲的專輯，深思熟慮的序曲排列中鑲嵌著恰到好處的連綿挑逗，面條、配樂、呻吟、打嗝、狂熱、片段、加速、xx采樣和說話片段。歌詞上，它頌揚靈肉相融的愛情，而不是疼痛，不出所料，專輯第二章節(jié)流露真情的歌曲和概念歌曲減緩了專輯的節(jié)奏，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)版專輯尤其如此。我把肉欲和愛情視作不可分割的整體，比起她的早期專輯，我更喜歡這張，因為我發(fā)現(xiàn)它的許多porn時刻都很撩人。當(dāng)然原則上Beyoncé更性感。我喜歡聰明的女孩，而不是壞女孩，尤其討厭壞男女在一起。但我相信只要它抬起海綿狀的頭，我就能獲得快感。

Unapologetic?[Def Jam, 2012]（《道歉太難》）
So much more provocative as an android than as a human being ("Phresh Out the Runway," "Diamonds," "Numb")?***

機器人比人類尖銳火辣得多***

推薦曲："Phresh Out the Runway," "Diamonds," "Numb"

Anti (Deluxe Edition)?[Westbury Road/Roc Nation, 2016]（《反了》）
The reason I like this record beginning to end has zip to do with whether it documents her sexual mood swings more proudly or soulfully. The presentational Rihanna is so unlike anyone I know that she can say anything she wants about her musical punany as long as she leaves Chris Brown out of it--with this artist, sex is figurative, symbolic, the mark of a pleasure taker turned pleasure provider. So?Anti?is her best album for a reason so simple it's tautological--despite its supposed rejection of track-and-hook mechanics, it features catchier songs. True, the main time they really make me go woo is when she breaks into gibberish at the end of "Work." But then some German hands her "Love on the Brain," the best new doowop song in decades, which segues perfectly to a power entreaty avec drunk violins, after which the album proper goes out on a piano-enhanced coda that adds a nice sweetness. Only instead of savoring this narrative arc, why don't you just proceed to the three bonus tracks, which top an M.I.A. move with none other than "Sex With Me"??A

我從頭到尾地愛這張專輯，原因與它是否記錄了她的“Sex”情緒波動無關(guān)，無論是更高調(diào)或是更深情的。視覺女星Rihanna與我認識的任何人都不同，在拋開Chris Brown后，她能在音樂雙關(guān)語中講述任何她想表達的事物——在這位藝術(shù)家眼中，“Sex”是具體的、象征性的，是享受者變?yōu)楣┙o者的標(biāo)志。所以《Anti》是她最好的專輯，原因很簡單，專輯主題高度統(tǒng)一——盡管被認為拒絕了傳統(tǒng)Hook熱單制作模式，卻做出更多更抓耳的歌曲。最讓我出乎意料的便是“Work”末尾處突如其來的胡言亂語；之后由德國人打造的“Love on the Brain”是幾十年來最好的doowop新歌，在強勢的懇求和醉醺的小提琴聲中完美拉開歌曲序幕。之后，專輯適得其所地在加強的鋼琴聲中走向末尾章節(jié)，增添了絕妙的馥郁氣息。不過，與其細品該敘事情節(jié)，為何不直接切入三首加曲呢？三首歌中只有“Sex With Me”比得上M.I.A.的作品。A

（注：doowop：經(jīng)常由4~5人組成重唱小組，由一人擔(dān)任領(lǐng)唱，其他人以密集和聲作伴唱）?
