Listen: Rihanna's new album Talk That Talk


RIHANNA is back with her sixth album, Talk That Talk.

The record includes We Found Love, the song whose controversial film clip hit headlines earlier this year.

Running at just 35 minutes, Rihanna's latest album has gotten mixed reviews.

Billboard called the Barbadian-native's album "a fleshed-out statement that captures Rihanna's relentless drive and will likely keep her on top. This album's not a victory lap; it's a whole new race."

Talk That Talk is "an adrenalised behemoth of a record which reasserts her position as one of pop’s most compulsive pleasures," The (UK) Telegraph reported.

But, The Guardian was less impressed, calling Rihanna's record "a blast of obnoxious, filth-fuelled pop.

"Coming only a year after Loud, everything has been turned up, then up again, from its steroidal Ibiza synths to the smutty innuendo."
