With the international pop star and fashionista known as Rihanna currently being found glitzing up the cover of the April issue of Vogue, and stopping through Dallas for a gig at the American Airlines Center on July 8, we here at DC9 figured it high time to give the performer’s career a much-needed retrospective.
Lest anyone’s forgotten, Rihanna’s been at the forefront of the pop music landscape for the better part of a decade now, starting with the release of her 2005, gold-certified Music of the Sun album and its lead single, “Pon de Replay.” Musically, her style has changed plenty since the now-23-year-old Barbadian burst onto the scene with her then-dancehall-indebted sound. These days, she’s grown into more of an electro-pop diva, and her most recent, fifth album, Loud, released just this past November, has already gone platinum.
Yes, she’s changed plenty over the years — and as much with her fashion choices as with her sound.
So, on that note, let’s hit the jump and recall 10 stellar
