During this podcast, they breakdown Rihanna and her music
career. They play songs such as: “Pon de Replay,” “Umbrella,” “What’s My Name,”
and several more songs. I didn’t realize the amount of vocal range that Rihanna
herself had. It wasn’t until these guys on the podcast pointed it out in these
different songs. Rihanna herself mainly sticks with the lower vocals but on
certain songs such as “We Found Love” she explores those higher vocals and it
is fascinating to understand the range of her voice. If I do listen to pop
music, Rihanna would probably be one of my top artists. In the podcast they
also go over her musical achievements and it appears that Rihanna is one of the
all-time artists in the world. She even has the same number of charts hitting
singles as Michael Jackson. I am not really a fan of the person they keep going
back to who is a producer called Jenny Gathright. She is just kind of
describing the already visible and is brought up for clarification on what
seems the obvious. During the podcast they also bring up the song “Umbrella”
which personally I am not a fan of. I am not a big fan of constant repetition
of one word, so I don’t really agree with what they said about it being such an
important song. I was interested to learn that some of her songs were inspired
by some ill-fated relationships. Also, Rihanna spans over several genres as her
albums progress, which is impressive for Rihanna in demonstrating her
abilities.
