Good Girl Gone Bad is the third studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna. It was released on May 31, 2007, by Def Jam Recordings and SRP Records. Right after the release of her second album, A Girl like Me, the singer started preparing material for her third record. For the album, Rihanna worked with many record producers including C. "Tricky" Stewart, Terius "Dream" Nash, Neo da Matrix, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers and StarGate. Influenced by singer Brandy's 2004 studio album, Afrodisiac, Good Girl Gone Bad is a dance-pop, pop and R&B album and represents a departure from the West Indian sound present on Rihanna's previous releases, Music of the Sun and A Girl like Me.
Good Girl Gone Bad received generally positive reviews from music critics who praised its composition and Rihanna's new musical direction, however, some of them criticized the lyrics and the diversity of the record. Good Girl Gone Bad earned Rihanna seven Grammy Award nominations and won the accolade for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella" at the 2008 ceremony. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart and sold over 162,000 copies in its first week. The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and sold over 2.8 million copies in the country. It also peaked at number one in Canada, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. As of November 2009, Good Girl Gone Bad sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
Good Girl Gone Bad produced five singles, including the international hits "Umbrella" and "Don't Stop the Music". To support the album, Rihanna embarked on her first worldwide concert tour, the Good Girl Gone Bad Tour. To celebrate its first anniversary, the album was reissued as Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded in June 2008. The reissue featured three new songs, including the US Billboard Hot 100 number one hits, "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia". The reissue was followed by Rihanna's first remix album, Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes, in January 2009, which featured remixes from Moto Blanco, Tony Moran, the Soul Seekerz and the Wideboys.
Background and concept
[edit]Following the release of her debut studio album, Music of the Sun, in 2005, Rihanna started working on her second album.[1] For it, Rihanna worked with record producers who were involved in her previous release and also recruited new personnel.[2] In an interview with MTV News, regarding the album, she stated, "Vocally I've matured so much, and lyrically I'm speaking about stuff I would never sing about [before]. "Now I'm singing about experiences that I've gone through and stuff that other 18-year-old girls go through, so it's all about progression."[1] The album, which was released in April 2006 under the title A Girl like Me, was musically a pop oriented record[3] with dancehall and R&B influences.[4] Critically, it was met with mixed response; some critics praised Rihanna's new musical direction,[5] while others criticized some of the songs on the album.[6] Eventually, the album succeeded to sell over 587,308 copies in the United Kingdom[7] and over 1,330,000 copies in the United States.[8]
I basically took the attitude of the bad girl and I really got rebellious and just did everything the way I wanted to do it—I didn't want to listen to anybody. I didn't consult with anybody. I just want to have a little more fun with my music and be a little more experimental in terms of my image and my sound. I just reinvented myself.
—Rihanna, The StarPhoenix[9]
In early 2007, Rihanna began work on her third studio album.[10] In an interview with MTV News, she elaborated on the sound of her then-upcoming release, "So far, the new music is going in a different direction. Not on purpose, but I just want to hear something fresh and mostly uptempo. I think that's where I want to go on this one. You feel different every album, and [at] this stage I feel like I want to do a lot of uptempo [songs]."[10] Rihanna further explained that she wanted to keep the audience dancing and be soulful at the same time.[10] The singer spoke to Entertainment Weekly about it and explained how she wanted to make an album that people could listen to from beginning to end without skipping any tracks. According to her, the 2004 studio album Afrodisiac by American singer Brandy, was the biggest inspiration for recording her third studio album.[11] In early May 2007, Rihanna revealed that the title of the album will be Good Girl Gone Bad on which she elaborated, "We figured Good Girl Gone Bad was the perfect title because it showed people I'm my own [person] now. I'm not the innocent Rihanna anymore. I'm taking a lot more risks and chances. I felt when I cut my hair, it shows people I'm not trying to look or be anybody else. The album is very edgy."[12]
Production and recording
[edit]Good Girl Gone Bad was recorded in several studios worldwide including the Westlake Recording Studios, Conway Studios, Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, Battery Studios and Roc the Mic Studios in New York City, Phase One Audio Group in Toronto, Lethal Studios in Bridgetown, Barbados, Espionage Studios in Oslo and Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.[13] Rihanna spent the week of the 2007 Grammy Awards writing with American R&B singer Ne-Yo, who gave her vocal lessons.[10] They wrote and sang "Hate That I Love You", which was co-written and produced by Norwegian duo StarGate.[14] In an interview with MTV News, the singer said that "when it first starts off, you think it's a sexy song, but you have to listen to the lyrics. It's a really deep song."[12] During an interview with MTV News, Rihanna recalled the session and stated, "I don't understand how he [Ne-Yo] comes up with certain concepts and he just blows me away sometimes. He's just insane."[10] Ne-Yo told American magazine Vibe, "The best way to express an emotion like love is through storytelling. It makes it more 'I can relate to this character in this song, because I've been through something similar. You hear that kind of storytelling in the song that I wrote for Rihanna called 'Hate That I Love You'."[15]
In early 2007, American producers and song-writers Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and Terius "The Dream" Nash.[16] They wrote the lead single from the album, "Umbrella" with pop singer Britney Spears in mind. Spears was working on her fifth album, Blackout, so they sent a copy of the demo to Spears' management. However, Spears did not hear of the song because her label rejected it, claiming they had enough songs for her to record.[17] Following that, they attempted to give the record to Mary J. Blige who failed to hear the song in full due to her obligations to the Grammy Awards at the time and "had to sign off on the record before her reps could accept it".[17] Finally, Antonio "L.A." Reid, then CEO of Def Jam Recordings, managed to buy the record for his camp and subsequently forwarded it to Rihanna. Initially, Stewart admitted he was still reluctant as to whether Rihanna was the right artist to record the song, but following the recording of the "ella, ella" catch phrase, he felt they were onto "something".[17] Following Rihanna's recording, Def Jam CEO-rapper Jay-Z added his rap.[17]
"Rehab" is one of the three songs composed and produced by Timbaland for the album.[18] Timbaland was on tour with Justin Timberlake to promote Timberlake's 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds, which Timbaland had also produced. After completing a show in Chicago, they joined Rihanna in the studio, where Timberlake experimented with beats and melodies.[18] Weeks later, the three got together in New York City, where Timberlake had already conceptualized a song for Rihanna. Timbaland, who wanted to compose a song called "Rehab" for Rihanna, was producing a beat, when Timberlake came in and improvised the song over it.[18] Hannon Lane also co-wrote and co-produced the song.[19][20] Timberlake told Entertainment Weekly that he believed "Rehab" to be "the bridge for [Rihanna] to be accepted as an adult in the music industry".[21] Rihanna told Robert Copsey of Digital Spy that she enjoyed working with Timberlake, and learned much from the sessions. She said, "Working with Justin in the studio is just great. He's a fun guy and likes to make all the sessions enjoyable. He's also such a genius when it comes to lyrics."[22]
Composition
[edit]Good Girl Gone Bad is a dance-pop[23], pop and R&B album[24] with influences of the 1980s music.[11] It is a departure from the West Indian sound present on Rihanna's previous albums, Music of the Sun and A Girl like Me.[25] It opens with the lead single, "Umbrella", an R&B song and rock power ballad performed with drums and thundercloud synths. Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian compared the singer's vocals on the song with the voices of Ciara and Cassie.[26] The second track on the album, "Push Up On Me", features echo electro claps and surging synths.[27] "Don't Stop the Music" is a dance-pop and techno song[28][29] that contains a wide variety of rhythmic devices used mainly in hip hop music.[28] The song samples the line, "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" which is taken from Jackson's 1983 single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".[28] The fourth song on the album is "Breakin' Dishes"; Peter Robinson of The Observer called the song a "wronged-woman bonanza" and wrote that is a high point on the album, "packed with hooks, chants and flashes of lyrical brilliance".[30] "Shut Up and Drive" is a new wave,[31] and pop rock,[25] song, which incorporates influences of the 1970s and 1980s musical styles.[25] It samples New Order's 1983 single "Blue Monday".[25] "Hate That I Love You", the sixth song on the album, is a folky R&B song; Nick Levine of Digital Spy compared it to "Sexy Love" and "Because of You".[32]
The seventh track on the album, "Say It" samples the 1990s song by Mad Cobra, "Flex"; is is consisted of silky and warm groove and features island-oriented music characteristics.[27] "Sell Me Candy" features jumbled and noisy production, "beats rolling and colliding in chaotic fashion"; Rihanna's vocals fail to mash with the production.[27] The ninth song, "Lemme Get That", has boom bap beats and is produced by Timbaland. According to Spence D. of IGN wrote that, "Rihanna commands the track, no question about it."[27] "Rehab" is an old styled R&B track with a groove that is built around tambourine shakes, acoustic guitar swirls and a subtle backbeat. "Question Existing" it's an "eerie, smoky, destitute, emotional, and a wonderful sonic sidestep."[33] Tom Breihan of Pitchfork Media described the opening lyrics of the song as "puerile psuedoporn" inspired.[34] The album concluded with the title track, "Good Girl Gone Bad", a rife driven by an acoustic guitar. The chorus has a "killer line and a bass throb".[33]

Good Girl Gone Bad received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 16 reviews.[98] Uncut called it a "shiny, trans-atlantic blend of Europop vim, R&B grit and Caribbean bounce."[97] Andy Kellman of Allmusic said that it is "as pop as pop gets in 2007, each one of its 12 songs a potential hit in some territory".[25] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters called it "pure entertainment, a musical funhouse mirror that reflects today’s breadth of girl talk: a little bit of Gwen, a dash of Kelis, some Beyoncé, a shade of Pink."[99] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times wrote that the album "sounds as if it were scientifically engineered to deliver hits".[100] Peter Robinson of The Observer commended her "crew of collaborators" for "masking her own shortcomings" and commented that, "While Rihanna lacks her peers' charisma, she's a great vessel for exhilarating mainstream pop."[30] Pitchfork Media's Tom Breihan called the album an "unexpectedly varied and satisfying listen".[34] Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly felt that, although it "goes bad when Rihanna tries her hand at treacly ballads and glum sentiment", Good Girl Gone Bad is, "its finest, messiest moments," a "thrilling throwback to more than a decade ago, when upstart producers haphazardly mashed R&B with hip-hop to create chunky jeep anthems such as Mary J. Blige's 'Real Love'."[94]
In a mixed review, Rodney Dugue of The Village Voice felt that the album "never settles on a sound" and only cited its three Timbaland-produced songs as highlights.[46] Although he found the ballads improved from Rihanna's previous albums, Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani criticized the lyrics, particularly those written by Justin Timberlake, as "once again an Achilles' high heel for Rihanna".[38] Alex Macpherson of The Guardian found Rihanna to be "ill-suited" for its dance-pop songs and stated, "The gimmicky samples and pounding beats bury her personality, and the summery reggae of her first two albums is sorely missed."[95] Robert Christgau of MSN Music cited "Umbrella" as a "choice cut",[101] indicating "a good song on an album that isn't worth your time or money".[102] The song was also ranked number three on "The 10 Best Songs of 2007" by Time; the magazine's Josh Tyrangiel said that it was "the sexiest song of 2007."[103]
