$33.00Call to Order
The night before the album cover shoot, Rihanna chopped off her hair, and the Caribbean girl was gone. The sound pivots from island pop to polished dance-pop with '80s edge, inspired by Brandy's Afrodisiac. 'Umbrella' douses arena-rock guitars in that undeniable 'ella, ella' hook, while 'Don't Stop the Music' samples Michael Jackson's 'mama-say, mama-sa' into pure dancefloor euphoria. 'Rehab' grounds everything in old-school R&B with tambourine shakes and acoustic guitar. 'Umbrella' was originally written for Britney Spears, then offered to Mary J. Blige. Both passed. Rihanna's best-selling album worldwide.
