With?ANTI,?Rihanna hopped off of the factory line, destroyed the mind-control machine, added some salt to the cafeteria’s chicken. She took risks and freed herself from mainstream pop expectations, cementing herself as a risk-taking, boundary-breaking godhead. Her eighth album moves from jarring, atonal Rock to lackadaisical dancehall before switching up into sultry, sex-positive R&B. She bounces into a stoned torch song in which she’s all but crooning on top of a piano before, whiplash: a weird but brilliantly faithful cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Old Mistakes,” just because she can. Every left turn is delivered with her inimitable attitude and empowerment; every shrugged decision leads to a fascinating new journey.

憑借《ANTI》，Rihanna跳下生產(chǎn)線，摧毀了思維控制機器，給餐廳的雞肉加了一些鹽。她敢于冒險并擺脫了主流流行的預(yù)期，使自己成為一個敢于冒險、打破界限的神性人物。她的第八張專輯從震撼人心的無調(diào)性搖滾到懶洋洋的舞廳，然后轉(zhuǎn)到性感的R&B，在這里她獻上了一曲迷幻的火炬之歌。在此之前，她幾乎是在鋼琴上哼唱《whiplash（爆裂鼓手）》，這是對Tame Impala的《New Person, Same Old Mistakes（新人，老錯誤）》的怪異但精彩的翻唱，因為她做到了。每一個轉(zhuǎn)身都是她獨特的態(tài)度和力量，每一個看似無所謂的決定都會導(dǎo)致一個迷人的新旅程。

Upon?ANTI’s release,?the New York Times?called it the “record you make when you don’t need to sell records” but, really, it’s the album Rihanna made when she no longer had to sell Rihanna. When it was released, she was enjoying the most Freedom yet in her career: She’d been through her Saturn return, she’d swerved Drake, she’d jumped from Def Jam to Roc Nation and started her own imprint there. She’d acquired the masters of all the songs she’d recorded at Def Jam and was fully independent. She was ennobled to take a big, ambitious swing that could have broken at the seams, yet?ANTI?proved her modern rewriting of that old adage: Freedom’s just another word for no fucks left to give. –Allison P. Davis

《ANTI》一發(fā)行，《紐約時報》就稱它為“當(dāng)你不需要賣唱片時所做的唱片”，但實際上，這是Rihanna在不再需要賣Rihanna這個名號的時候所做的專輯。當(dāng)它發(fā)行的時候，她正享受著她職業(yè)生涯中最自由的時光，她經(jīng)歷了土星回歸，她轉(zhuǎn)向了Drake，她從Def Jam跳到了Roc Nation，并在那里開始了她自己的印記。她獲得了在Def Jam錄制的所有歌曲的大師頭銜，并且完全獨立。她經(jīng)歷了一種巨大的、雄心勃勃的轉(zhuǎn)變，這種轉(zhuǎn)變本可以在關(guān)鍵時刻被打破，但《ANTI》證明了她對那句古老格言的現(xiàn)代改寫:自由不過是別無他求的另一種說法。
