    I wish Rihanna had done an album with more tracks like Diamonds and Stay, which are my favourite songs.

    The now-24-year-old's voice may be simple, but it's distinctive--and as defiant as her album titles.

    Even when Unapologetic fails, it often does so in interesting ways.

    Sonically, the first half of Unapologetic picks up on the syrupy Southern hip-hop minimalism popular last summer, while much of the latter half is a grab bag of unwieldy balladry.
