Loud is the fifth studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, first released on November 12, 2010 by Def Jam Recordings. The album was recorded between February and August 2010, predominantly during Rihanna's Last Girl on Earth Tour and filming for her first feature film Battleship (2012). Rihanna was executive producer on the album and worked with several record producers, including StarGate, The Runners, Polow da Don, Tricky Stewart, and Alex da Kid, among others. The album featured several guest vocalists, including Drake, Nicki Minaj and Eminem, who is featured on the sequel to "Love the Way You Lie", "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", where Rihanna sang lead vocals. Britney Spears appears on the remix of the single version of "S&M" , although she is not on the album version.

The album differed from Rihanna's previous release, Rated R (2009), which featured a prominently foreboding and angry tone with dark themes and incorporated elements of hip hop, rock, and dubstep music genres. Loud features up-tempo and pop genres, ranging from dance-pop to electro-R&B, and marked her return to her dancehall roots, which was prominent on her earlier albums Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl like Me (2006). The album also incorporates rock in "California King Bed" and reggae in the Caribbean inspired "Man Down".

Loud received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its upbeat material and Rihanna's vocal performances, with some critics calling it "...brilliantly sassy and exuberant at times" and praised "...the subtle West Indian flavor." However, some critics found the album to be "slapdash" and "...an unfocused assortment of poor-to-solid songs than a unified set." The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first week sales of 207,000 copies, the highest first week sales of her career to date. The album debuted at number one on the Canadian and Swiss Albums Chart. In the United Kingdom, the album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and was the fourth best-selling album of 2010, although it was released at the end of November that year. Loud was a commercial success internationally, and peaked at number one in Canada, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Scotland and Switzerland, and reached the Top 5 Australia, Denmark, France and Germany.

The album produced seven singles, including the international hits "Only Girl (In the World)", "What's My Name?", and "S&M". All three singles reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. "S&M" was Rihanna's tenth US number one song, making Rihanna the youngest recording artist to accumulate ten number one songs in the shortest time, surpassing Mariah Carey's record. In the United Kingdom "Only Girl (In the World)" and "What's My Name?" peaked at number one, whilst "S&M" peaked at number three. "Only Girl (In the World)" won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in February 2011. To support the album, Rihanna embarked on her third worldwide concert tour, entitled the Loud Tour.

Background and recording

The vice president of Def Jam Records, Bu Thiam, compared the album with Michael Jackson's bestseller Thriller.

In an interview for MTV, Ne-Yo, one of the producers on Rated R, said that he would not write songs for Rihanna that were about Brown,[1] but that it is normal for Rihanna to have a new, more edgy and angrier style for her next album.[2] The album was commercially successful and spawned five singles, including the international chart topper "Rude Boy". Six months after releasing Rated R, it transpired that Rihanna was planning a fifth studio album. Rihanna said that her new material will be "...more energetic" than her previous works.[3] StarGate's Erik Hermansen, said "Rihanna came to us before we started recording "Only Girl (In the World)" and said ‘I feel great about myself. I want to go back to having fun, I want to make happy and up-tempo records'."[4] Sean Garrett compared the sound of the new tracks with her previous hit singles "Umbrella" and "Rude Boy".[5] In an interview for MTV the vice president of Def Jam Recordings compared the upcoming Rihanna album with Michael Jackson's Thriller saying, "Rihanna is coming along incredibly. I’m trying to push her to where every song will be a hit from one to 12. I’m talking about NO album fillers. Our bar for this album is Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’."[5]

Recording sessions for Loud began in February 2010,[6] and continued for six months, overlapping with her Last Girl on Earth Tour and filming during her debut feature film Battleship (2012).[7] The album was recorded in various recording studios; Burst HQ in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cahuenga Pass Studio, Larrabee Sound Studios, The Village, Westlake Recording Studios, and East West Studios in Los Angeles, California, Effigy Studios, Electric Lady Recording Studios, Platinum Sound Recording Studios, and Roc the Mic Studios in New York City, New York, Glenwood Studios in Burbank, California, No Excuses Recording Studios in Santa Monica, California, The Hit Factory and We the Best Studios in Miami, Florida, Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada, and The Bunker Studios in Paris, France.[8] Singer-songwriters and producers Taio Cruz,[9] Alex da Kid,[10] Sean Garrett,[11] Ne-Yo,[12] Rico Love,[13] Timbaland,[13] Shontelle,[14] David Guetta,[15] and Drake[16] contributed to the album. Rihanna and L.A. Reid assembled a group of songwriters and record producers at several recording studios in Los Angeles for two weeks to write songs for Rihanna; they wrote approximately 200 songs, eleven of which were included on the album.[17] "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" was written for Rihanna, but the song was rejected and was subsequently sent to Usher.[17] With regard to "What's My Name?", Rihanna thought Drake could understand the melody of the song and invited him to work on the track when she played him the finished recording.[18] The collaboration was originally planned to be the remix, but later it was decided to use the original version.[19] In September 2010, during a webchat with her fansite Rihannadaily.com, Rihanna described how she had completed the album:

I'm done recording the whole album," Rihanna revealed during the chat, which took place on the official fansite Rihanna Daily. "I made sure not to let you down with my music! You guys are always defending me, so now you've got some great songs to justify it. I didn't want to go backward and remake [2007's] Good Girl Gone Bad. I wanted the next step in the evolution of Rihanna, and it's perfect for us.[7]

During the same webchat, Rihanna announced that the album would be called Loud, saying "get Loud everybody, get crazy, get excited, because I'm pumped. I'm just gonna be me, because that's what you guys love the most, and that's what makes me feel best. Just being normal, normal for me is Loud! Sassy, fun, flirty, energetic."[7] While Rihanna was filming Battleship, she explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "Loud is, the word, the name of the album definitely reflects the attitude of it, it’s really sassy and flirty and it grabs your attention and that’s why I enjoy it. It takes you through a really really interesting ride. So colorful the album.”[20]

Composition

Influence and sound

Loud incorporates up-tempo and pop genres, ranging from dance-pop to electro-R&B, and marks Rihanna's return to her dancehall roots,[24] which was prominent on her earlier releases Music of the Sun (2005) and A Girl like Me (2006).[25] In an interview with MTV News, Rihanna said "I wanted songs that were all Rihanna songs, that nobody else could do. I didn't want the generic pop record that Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or Katy Perry could just do and it'll work. I wanted a song, or songs, that were Rihanna songs, that only I could do, had that little West Indian vibe to it, had that certain tone, a certain sass and a certain energy."[26] During the promotion of Loud, Rihanna said that much of the music was born out of frustration. She explained: "When you go to a club and have to listen to bad music you revert to the liquor, because you want to have a good time. I hate having to skip a track. I wanted to make an album you can just play."[27]

Songs and lyrics

The opening track on the album, "S&M", is an up-tempo Eurodance song[28] produced by Norwegian producers StarGate and Sandy Vee. The song samples Depeche Mode's 1984 song "Master and Servant"[29] and contains lyrical thoughts of sadomasochism.[29] Andy Kellman of Allmusic praised "S&M" as one of the better dance-pop songs from Loud, for efficiently balancing "...Rihanna’s playful and sinister sides", though he wrote that it was not as good as her previous single "Rude Boy" (2010).[24] James Skinner of BBC Music criticized the use of sadomasochistic lyrics which he said were not synonymous with the flirtatious appeal that Rihanna was trying to create.[30]

"What's My Name?" was produced by StarGate and features guest vocals from Canadian rapper Drake. "What's My Name?" is mid-tempo, electro-R&B song,[31][32] and sees Rihanna's return to the "Island-pop" style of her early career with a backing track consisting of heavy reggae.[33] Megan Vick of Billboard said "As much as 'What's My Name' is a joint effort, Rihanna owns the song by delivering a more polished version of her pop persona."[33]

"Cheers (Drink to That)" was produced by the hip-hop producers The Runners.[34] Mark Savage from BBC News described the song as a funky, loping guitar groove for to a night out on the town, which Rihanna dedicated to "...all the semi-alcoholics in the world".[34] "Cheers (Drink to That)" contains interpolations Avril Lavigne's "I'm with You".[34]

"Only Girl (In the World)", the lead single, was the third produced by StarGate. "Only Girl (In the World)" is an up-tempo dance-pop song that incorporates elements of eurodance in its production.[22][35][36] Brad Wete, a reviewer for The Music Mix at Entertainment Weekly, described Rihanna's vocals as "...seductive" and reminiscent of a "...stronger, sexier version" of her 2007 single, "Don't Stop the Music".[22]

"California King Bed" is a rock ballad,[37][38] while "Man Down" incorporates a heavy reggae composition.[39] Ryan Dombell from Pitchfork Media commented that "California King Bed" is a "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" type power ballad genetically engineered to soundtrack a bi-coastal Kate Hudson rom-com."[40] Jon Pareless of "New York Times" commented that in "Man Down", Rihanna plays up her West Indian accent in the electro-reggae rhythm song about shooting a man in Central Station.[41] "California King Bed" and "Cheers (Drink to That)" were produced by The Runners, while "Man Down" was produced by Shama Joseph. "Raining Men" features rap vocals from Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj. Rihanna described the song as "...a really fun song. Nothing like the original. It's quite uptempo but kind of quirky and funny."[42] However, Allmusic described the R&B-Dancehall song as a low-point on the album, adding that it sounds unfinished.[24]

"Complicated" was produced by Tricky Stewart and Ester Dean. Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly said "Even while telling a recalcitrant man how hard he is to love, she [Rihanna] sounds almost buoyant, her newly expanded vocals eager to scale the song’s high-altitude house beat".[43]

The final track is the sequel to Rihanna's duet with Eminem, "Love the Way You Lie". "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)", which was produced by Alex da Kid, features Rihanna as the protagonist and lead vocalist, viewing aspects of a relationship from a female perspective, unlike the original, which featured Eminem as lead vocalist and was from a male perspective.[44]

Loud received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics.[52] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 given to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67, based on 22 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[52] Jon Pareles of The New York Times perceived a "...hermetic, cool calculation" on the album, writing that it "...works the pop gizmos as neatly as any album this year, maintaining the Rihanna brand".[41] New York Daily News writer Jim Farber gave the album four out of five stars, noting that it "...seems effortless and free".[53] Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt commented that Loud shows Rihanna "...undefeated by her worst circumstances — and finding redemption in exactly the kind of pop nirvana that made her famous in the first place".[43] James Reed of The Boston Globe called the album "...an unabashed return to where Rihanna belongs: the dance floor" and stated "As if liberating herself from the depths, she’s a force on these 11 songs".[54] Stacey Anderson of Spin commended Rihanna's "...full, healthy claim to her sexuality" and wrote that the album "...offers a confident female ethos on par with the best of Beyoncé or Shakira".[50]

BBC Online's James Skinner called Loud "...brilliantly sassy and exuberant at times" and praised Rihanna's vocals for "...elevating it from a hit-and-miss collection into something oddly arresting".[55] Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club gave Loud a B- rating and commended Rihanna for elevating its generic sound, writing that she "...does sound invigorated, delivering charismatic vocal performances of material that doesn’t always warrant them".[56] Los Angeles Times writer August Brown called it "...strobe-thumping".[46] Emily Mackay of NME gave Loud seven out of 10 rating and found that "...'Loud'’s experiments feel more organic, its tone better paced" than Rated R.[57] Chicago Sun-Times writer Thomas Conner commented that "...the celebratory atmosphere of Rihanna's sassy new jams are seasoned with some of the darker flavors from 'Rated R'".[58] USA Today's Steve Jones stated "The edgy music, which leans heavily toward dance and island sounds, fits well with her less than blissful romantic romps".[51] Pitchfork Media's Ryan Dombal complimented the album's "...effervescent pop" and stated: "Her laissez-faire attitude toward hit-making on Loud can result in too-safe moves or semi-experiments that come off surprisingly great".[47]

However, Andy Kellman of Allmusic found its material to be "slapdash" and "uneven", calling Loud "...more an unfocused assortment of poor-to-solid songs than a unified set".[24] The Phoenix writer Daniel Brockman gave the album two out of four stars and commented that "...just because it's louder [stylistically] doesn't mean there's more to hear".[59] The Washington Post's Chris Richards commented that Rihanna's performance lacks depth and called the album "...largely forgettable".[60] Andy Gill of The Independent noted that "...the more interesting tracks are those with less salacious demands on her vulnerability".[45] Despite noting some flaws in its production, Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani commended "...the subtle West Indian flavor with which Rihanna and company have smartly imbued" on most of the album and stated "Rihanna has always had trouble fitting into one genre  ...  and for better or worse, Rihanna continues to stylistically branch out on Loud".[49] Hugh Montgomery of The Observer commented that "Sonically, it's fairly unremarkable  ...  but its strident buoyancy is difficult to resist".[61] Rolling Stone writer Melissa Maerz called Rihanna "serene" and concluded "Maybe the good girl gone bad is getting better?".[48]

It's real VIP."[163] The North American leg of the tour began on June 4, 2011 in Baltimore, United States.[164] Originally, J. Cole and Cee Lo Green were planned as support acts for the North American leg. However, Green left the tour citing schedule conflicts.[165] Rappers Drake, Kanye West and Jay-Z made guest appearances on some dates to perform their collaborations "What's My Name?", "Run This Town", "All of the Lights" and "Umbrella", respectively.[166][167]

On July 8, 2011 in Dallas, Texas, a fire broke out after Rihanna performed "California King Bed". The audience was evacuated and the concert was forced to end early.[168] Rihanna performed one show in Barbados and four in Brazil, before the European part of the tour, which began on September 29, 2011, in Belfast.[159] The tour has gained critical acclaim, some calling it "Rihanna's best tour yet". Jane Stevenson of the Toronto Sun commented that "...the two-hour, larger-than-life show lived up to the billing."[169] Jon Brean of the Minneapolis "Star Tribune" remarked, "The Barbadian singer is more visually and vocally dynamic than she has ever been before."[170]
