Rihanna's "Loud" Album Cover

I love it. I love how different (yet still not too far of a departure) this new era and album are shaping up to be. The dark undertones from her Rated R album are still there, but the message and sound is a bit more uppity and fun this time around. From the loud (no pun intended) colors (single and album covers, behind the scene video pictures, her hair) to her less depressing music, Rihanna is taking her fans in a new direction this time around and that is exactly what I like about her; she's not afraid to switch it up. And ever since her smash hit Umbrella, whether she's bad, crying, explicit or loud, she looks and sounds hella good. Loud will be in stores on November 16th.
