![]() The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it triple platinum. Supported by four singles, including the Billboard Hot 100 number one " Work", the album peaked atop the Billboard 200 and is the first album by a black woman to spend 200 weeks on the chart. At the 2017 Grammy Awards, the album and its singles collectively received six nominations, including a nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.Īfter the album's release, Rihanna embarked on the Anti World Tour, which ran from March to November 2016. Anti featured on 2010s decade-end lists by such publications as Billboard, NME and Pitchfork, and ranked 230th on Rolling Stone 's 2020 edition of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The production divided critics: praise centered on Rihanna's newfound musical freedom, and criticism on its unfocused track list. Released on 28 January 2016 through Roc Nation and Westbury Road, Anti received generally positive reviews for its emotional honesty. Critics noted the musical and lyrical shifts marked Rihanna's artistic maturity beyond her status as a pop star. Anti 's overarching theme is emotional authenticity, portrayed through a spectrum of emotions evoked from relationships, from endearment and longing to betrayal and liberation. The songs are characterized by lo-fi beats, distorted vocals, sparsely layered and atmospheric downtempo arrangements. The album spans genres including pop, dancehall, alternative R&B, hip hop, soul and trap. On Anti, Rihanna abandoned her previous radio-friendly dance songs for a soulful production she felt authentic and liberating. As executive producer, Rihanna recorded the album with producers including Jeff Bhasker, Boi-1da, DJ Mustard, Hit-Boy, Brian Kennedy, Timbaland and No I.D., at studios in Canada, the United States and France. She started recording in 2014 after ending her contract with Def Jam Recordings, who had released all of her albums since her debut in 2005. Anyways to me at least I know she is human and as a human being things ain’t gonna work out perfectly all of the time(unless you are Beyonce “wink”).Anti (stylized in all caps) is the eighth studio album by Barbadian singer Rihanna. However when ever she stand there and sings, she sounds amazing, but when she moves a lot her vocals will sound bad. As we all know sometimes her vocals can be so amazing and sometimes those vocals will give up on her, like no b**** not today lol. ![]() As for Rihanna I believe she doesn’t want to use any trickery to be a perfect performer, because she doesn’t mind being flawed. ![]() If we use our common sense we would know that they are human just like us so no matter how amazing they are, mistake will happen if they decide not to use any help or trickery when performing live. I believe every great performer finds a trick that works for them so they can avoid that human mistake that bonds to happen if they perform live all the time without help. (Example janet, Michael, Jennifer Lopez, and many more, who lip-synce as they dance to avoid sounding bad on stage), so no one can do it all everytime without any human mistake. ![]() Also to me no one is capable of dancing and having perfect vocals on stage each and every time without any help or trickery (well expect for beyonce which I highly question, but who cares she want to be seen as that perfect star so). To my believe no one is capable of giving perfect vocals with each and every performance, you will sound off sometimes especially if you are using your vocals a lot (example Alicia Keys who has been judge for sounding strain and pitchy at times, Jennifer Hudson who has been judge for screaming live, and many more that I can’t think of). However I think she has to use some trickery to be a perfect performer on stage all the time. She has the money and the power to do exactly that. Anyways I believe she can definitely be perfect like Beyonce on stage if she wants. I would love for someone to ask her why she sometimes sounds amazing live and sometimes don’t, would love to hear her take on it. I think she want to be the star that has flaws, so even if she does bad on stage she take it as being human with flaws. I understand what you are saying, but I think maybe Rihanna does not want to be perfect even on stage. ![]()
