Before Kanye became so over the top full of himself, I would have loved a Kanye executive produced album for Rihanna. However, he now thinks his stuff is a lot more brilliance than it really is. Something weird is going on in the industry, I am understanding any of this music

This album is shaping to be an absolute disaster. If she's intentionally putting 45S and timeless in one sentance it means she's totally clueless right now. Musical growth has nothing to do with releasing crappy demo track with basic lyrics and dreadful music video as the lead single.

Musical growth has nothing to do with releasing crappy demo track with basic lyrics and dreadful music video as the lead single. Well, that's your opinion, which I respect, but in no way, shape or form does it foretell inevitable doom and gloom for the entire era. There are clearly people who like the song judging by its Spotify streaming numbers and the fact that it's sitting at #3 in the US, to name but one country. And a disaster when you've heard ONE full song from the album. ??? Also, the snippets she posted may not even be final forms of the songs or even make the cut. I understand this is not the comeback many people wished for Rihanna or thought she should do, but just because she or her team do not let the world in on every step they take, does not necessarily mean things are not being planned behind the scenes or that they don't know what they're doing.

She's been going for the less is more approach and I can appreciate that. Even though she hasn't necessarily been hiding, she's maintained a lower profile in the last year than we're used to.

The HOME soundtrack is out on iTunes New Zealand and the rest of her songs are already online. "As Real As You And Me" is so beautiful and one of her best vocal performances ever caught on record. The other track, "Dancing In The Dark", is cute and catchy, but generic.bv

Even after an entire year of wondering if and when new music will come, I'm proud of Rihanna and I'm inspired by what she's got going on right now. She's exceeded what I thought was possible. Now I'm glad she took longer to start a new era, there's focus and dedication on her part. She looks great, her interviews are funny, and she's still keeping a mystery with the album release. A nice balance!

Her official site, www.rihannanow.com, has a new layout. This stuck out to me in her new bio: She's really out here making major moves.

Is the Home soundtrack worth buying? It's not on Spotify. :(

Is the Home soundtrack worth buying? It's not on Spotify. :( The clips on iTunes are pretty indicative of what the EP sounds like. I would suggest previewing it there. I highly doubt any of her releases going forward will be available on Spotify. It is available, though, on JAY Z's newly launched streaming service, TIDAL , and they have a free 7-day trial going on right now, if you wanted to try that.

I downloaded TIDAL, the soundtrack appears but when I try to play it, it says the label hasn't permitted streaming. I'll sample the songs on iTunes as ya said =)

I bought the EP because I pretty much buy anything Rih and J.Lo releases. I think it's pretty good.

(Yes, the Braille says "Bitch Better Have My Money" too and you can sort of see the lyrics in the background - at least, I presume so; I squinted and saw "better" and "y'all" lol)

Well it's clearly either the single cover or album cover - whichever it is, it's coming tomorrow.

Would make sense too considering we had that adds date for "Towards The Sun" that ended up being pulled, perhaps to make room for this.
