Talk That Talk is the sixth studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna and was released on November 18, 2011, through Def Jam Recordings. The lead single from the album, "We Found Love" featuring Calvin Harris, premiered on Capital FM radio on September 22, 2011, and was released on iTunes U.S. the same day. The album is rooted in R&B, dance-pop, and pop, but also incorporates a variety of genres such as hip hop, electro, trance, house, and dubstep.

Lyrically, the album speaks of love, sexuality, and empowerment. The album received mixed to positive reviews from critics, many of which complimented its departure from the dark themes presented on her fourth and fifth studio albums, Rated R (2009) and Loud (2010), respectively. The album debuted at number 3 on the US Billboard 200, selling over 197,000 copies in its opening week.

Background and development

Following the release and success of Rihanna's previous studio album, Loud, the singer revealed via Twitter that the album would be re-issued with new songs and released in fall 2011, writing that "[t]he [Loud era] continues with more new music to add to [your] collection".[1][2] In September 2011, Rihanna took to Twitter to confirm that plans for a re-issue of Loud had been scrapped, with the singer tweeting "I [thought about] a [re-release], but LOUD is its own body of work! Plus [you] guys work so [fucking] hard that [you] deserve to act brand new."[3]

In an interview with Mixtape Daily, producer Verse Simmonds, half of the duo The Jugganauts, who wrote and produced the reggae-infused song "Man Down" from Loud, revealed that the singer was nearing completion of her sixth studio album in August 2011.[4] The duo also said that they had penned two tracks for possible inclusion on the album, saying "From what I understand, she is closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well" and also expressed interest in writing a third song.[4] On September 15, 2011, Rihanna confirmed via her official Twitter account that recording sessions for the album were indeed underway, tweeting "I can't wait to start filling u guys in on some details!"[5] The tweet was soon followed up by another, where Rihanna tweeted "*Zips lips*," implying that she would no longer talk about the project's development.[5] Although the tweet suggested that the singer would not give any more details about the album, a fan tweeted to Rihanna asking when the album would be released, to which she replied, "THIS FALL!!!!! [sic]."[6]

Title and artwork

As part of the promotion for the album, Rihanna created a Facebook campaign page entitled "Rihanna: UNLOCKED" [sic], whereby her fans on Facebook are given missions to complete, in the form of games, in order to "unlock" new information about the album.[7][8] On October 4, 2011, fans unlocked "Mission:5", which meant that fans had unlocked another piece of information from the album, with number five revealing the title of the album. The title, Talk That Talk, was announced via her official Facebook page.[9] On October 10, 2011, after the Loud Tour concert in Glasgow, Scotland, Rihanna gave a copy of the album's artwork to a fan.[10] The singer later tweeted to explain that the fan she gave the copy to was the only person outside of the singer's management to have seen the artwork up until that point, writing "One very lucky fan outside my concert just got the 1st album cover! She's the 1st to see it! Only 1 person in the world has it".[10] The following day, fans unlocked "Mission:6" via the singer's official Facebook page, which resulted in Rihanna officially unveiling two artwork covers for the standard and deluxe editions of the album.[11] The standard edition artwork features Rihanna "[licking] her coral red hued lips, posing in a camouflage sleeveless shirt with the album title tatted on her right arm".[12]

Upon on unveiling of the standard edition's artwork, both James Dinh of MTV and a reviewer for NME commented that Rihanna looks "seductive" in the image.[11][13] Gordon Smart of The Sun humorously criticized the standard edition artwork by saying that it looks as though the singer is trying to cover up a cold sore with her tongue, writing "It's easy to pick them up at this time of year – especially as she's constantly naked or attached to her new boyfriend Dudley O'Shaughnessy by the lips."[14] Smart continued, writing "Let's hope they had some decent soap on set to remove the album title Talk That Talk from her wrist as well".[14] The deluxe edition artwork shows the singer "[blowing] out a puff of smoke" and is shot in black and white.[12] Rap-Up commented that the deluxe edition artwork features Rihanna billowing smoke out of her mouth whilst staring into the camera with "piercing eyes".[15] Amanda Hensel of Popcrush noted that Rihanna is French inhaling the cigarette smoke, whereby someone takes a deep drag, then while the mouth is open and the jaw is slowly closed to force the smoke out, then inhales through the nose, thus inhaling the smoke drifting from the mouth.[16] Hensel also commented that the singer looks "fierce" in both the standard and deluxe edition covers.[16]

Musical structure

Talk That Talk combines a variety of musical genres, including hip hop, R&B, electro, dancehall and dubstep, a genre first incorporated on the singer's fourth studio album, Rated R (2009).[17] The opening track, "You Da One", which was produced by Dr. Luke, is a bouncy mid-tempo song with a Caribbean flavor, and features a dubstep influenced breakdown towards the middle of the song.[17] "Where Have You Been", produced by Dr. Luke and Ester Dean, runs through an acoustic beat and incorporates elements of trance.[17] The lead single, "We Found Love", is an electro house and dance-pop song.[18][19] The title track, "Talk That Talk" features rapper Jay-Z and samples The Notorious B.I.G.'s "I Got A Story To Tell".[17] The fifth track, "Cockiness (Love It)", was produced by Bangladesh features hip hop and dancehall influences.[17] The sixth track, "Birthday Cake", produced by Da Internz and The-Dream, is an interlude lasting one minute and eighteen seconds. It runs through a distorted electro beat.[17] The seventh track, "We All Want Love", is an acoustic song with shaking drum beats.[17] The eighth track, "Drunk On Love", was produced by longtime collaborators Stargate and Ester Dean features elements of trance influenced beats and clattering synths. It samples the song "Intro", originally written and performed by English band The xx.[17] The tenth track, "Watch n' Learn", features a flirtatious and playful hip hop melody with grinding synths.[17] The final track of the standard edition, "Farewell", is a ballad.[17] The first bonus track of the deluxe edition, "Red Lipstick", is a dubstep song produced by Chase & Status and The-Dream and features co-production from Rihanna.[17] The thirteenth track of the album, "Do Ya Thing", is an R&B song co-produced by The-Dream and Rihanna.[17] The final track of the album, "Fool in Love", is a midtempo song with acoustic guitars.[17]

The album has received mixed to positive reviews from music critics since its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 62 based on 26 reviews, which indicates "Generally favorable reviews".[36] Andy Kellman from Allmusic was positive on the album and worte: "Behind Good Girl Gone Bad and Rated R, this is Rihanna's third best album to date. Minus the fluff, it's close to the latter's equal."[37] Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a positive review, commenting that "it's a relief to find that on her blissed-out sixth album, ... [Rihanna's] stopped trying to play it so tough",[39] while also noting, "...apparently love has never come so easily to RiRi, whose new song titles include 'We Found Love', 'We All Want Love' and (yes) 'Drunk On Love'. Is she finally admitting that being young and crushed-out on someone might feel, y'know, kind of fun?"[39]

James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph echoed this sentiment, stating Rihanna's "sixth album in seven years [is] an adrenalised behemoth of a record which reasserts her position as one of pop's most compulsive pleasures" and "[t]he demons from her relationship with Chris Brown now sound fully exorcised – Rihanna sings as if she is in love with life, and wants to bring us along for the party."[47] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard also gave the album a positive review, but commented on its feeling of having been "rushed". "After reclaiming her crown on Loud... Rihanna is not about to take any sort of break to let her pop princess competitors catch up" He also said, "[Talk That Talk is] an oddly rushed-out release to the objective music fan. Why not wait a bit and let the buzz of Loud set in?."[48] Steve Jones of USA Today gave the album a positive review saying, "[she] may talk dirty when she's trying to lure you into the bedroom or out on the dance floor ... when driven by the intoxicating rhythms ... [she] compels you to listen. So while she revels in satisfying her carnal desires, she also craves a little genuine affection ... but probably the most potent ingredient in the mix is the Barbadian singer's charisma."[49] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times concluded that Talk That Talk places Rihanna "squarely at the center of the pop genre best suited for a singer of her fundamental evanescence — dance music, which conveniently is the mode du jour of contemporary R&B and pop."[41] Caramanica also wrote that the album was the "blithest Rihanna album" and noted "It has none of the dark, wounded subtext of her more recent albums."[41]

Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times expressed dissatisfaction with the themes of the album stating, "The singer works that NC-17 territory, but the sauciness sometimes borders on shtick. With an eye toward Middle America, it's mostly just insinuation.[40] Matthew Cole from Slant Magazine gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5, saying it is "pretty easily the worst Rihanna album yet, though I wouldn't be surprised to see her break that record next November".[45] Mark Graham of VH1 called the album "the dirtiest “pop” record we have ever heard".[50] However, Graham praised the track "Where Have You Been," stating that it "will almost certainly be Rihanna’s biggest club smash since "Don’t Stop the Music".[50] Lindsay Zoladz from Pitchfork gave the album a mixed review and commented: "2011 found plenty of pop artists still breathing new life into the format: "Beyoncé Knowles's 4 and Lady Gaga's Born This Way were probably the most solid examples - two bombastic records that also explore the nuance of their respective artists' personas. Talk That Talk tries too hard to send a more one-dimensional message and ends up falling flat". [43] Danny Walker of RWD Magazine gave Rihanna a relatively good review stating, "This is a short and (very) sweet outing from the Bajan boss..."[51] A negative review was given by David Amidon of the website PopMatters, who graded the album with 3 out of 10 stars and noted: "It's sure to sell on brand recognition alone, but I doubt a series of mannered and soulless hooks are going to find much life outside of the European remix circuit."[52]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 197,000 copies in the United States, slightly below her last album, which also debuted at number three with 207,000 copies.[53] In the United Kingdom, the album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 300,000 units after six days of sale.[54] Talk That Talk debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling more than 160,000 copies in its first week. With the album and "We Found Love" both at number one, it made Rihanna the only female artist in the UK to simultaneously have a number one single and album twice in the same year with different a album and single. The other double chart topper being "What's My Name?" and Loud in January 2011.[55]
