Talk That Talk is the sixth studio album by Barbadian singer Rihanna, released on November 18, 2011, by Def Jam Recordings and SRP Records.

Following in the same vein as Loud, Talk That Talk is a dance-oriented pop/R&B crossover album that incorporates elements of hip hop, dubstep, electronic and house music. The album also contains subtle dancehall influences, whilst its lyrical content and themes revolve around a nihilistic, romantic and lascivious lover.

The album produced six singles, including the international hit "We Found Love" which was released as the album's lead single.

"You da One", "Talk That Talk" (featuring rapper Jay-Z) and a remix of "Birthday Cake" (featuring Chris Brown) experienced moderate success, while "Where Have You Been" reached the top ten of twenty countries around the world. A remixed form of "Cockiness (Love It)" (featuring rapper ASAP Rocky) was released as the sixth and final single from the album.

Background

Following the release of Rihanna's previous studio album, Loud (2010), the singer revealed via Twitter that the album would be re-issued with new songs and released in fall 2011.[5][6] 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."[7]

In an interview with Mixtape Daily, songwriter 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.[8] 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.[8] 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!"[9]

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.[10][11] Upon the 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.[12][13]

Recording and production

 
Westlake Recording Studios was one of many locations in which the album was recorded.

Recording sessions for Talk That Talk began in February 2011 and ended in November 2011. Recording for the album took place during the Loud Tour. Due to this, recording sessions for the album took place in various countries including France, United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark and Germany. Vocal producer Kurk Harrell estimates the album was cut in more than 25 cities. Rihanna recorded a total of sixteen to seventeen songs.[14] The singer would record late into the morning, sometimes until noon, before riding her bus to the next city. In May 2012, Rihanna revealed that whilst she was recording the album, she suffered from exhaustion, saying in part: "It was the best [shit] ever, it was some rock star [shit] This is the craziest schedule I've ever been on in my entire life. One morning I woke up and started crying so hard. I finally just got to my bed from the IV [drip] and I was just like, 'Good I can actually get to sleep tonight', because we stayed up all night' and I finished [the album] at 5 pm the day before..."[15]

Kuk Harrell, one of the producers of Talk That Talk, spoke on the recording of the album saying: "In addition to touring, we are recording Rihanna's new album. We have a portable studio that we set up at the different hotels that we are staying at. We set up shop anywhere in the hotel. Before we went on the European leg of Rihanna's Loud tour, we started recording the album in Los Angeles. Rihanna likes to work late hours, so she would come into the studio at 9pm and work until 6am."[16] Continuing Harrell stated "The show was the priority, and then the album. That's how the day was broken up." Expanding on this Harrell stated that Rihanna would perform every night, finish her meet and greet by 1 a.m. Then go to the studio for around two or three a.m. During these session Harrell stated "I’d make the decision based off [sic] where I felt her voice was. Knowing she just did two hours of a show and meet-and-greets, I would suggest capturing the stuff that was easier to get like the lower-range stuff so we wouldn’t hurt or damage her voice."[14]

Composition

Music and lyrics

Talk That Talk is a danceable pop/R&B crossover[3] album,[1] comprising uptempo club tracks, raunchy pop songs, and mid-tempo inspirational ballads.[17] It also incorporates elements of dancehall, hip hop, and house.[18] Most of the songs feature heavy bass and coarse sounds,[18] including electro beats and imposing synthesizers.[19] James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph cites Talk That Talk as Rihanna's "most club-ready album to date",[19] while Robert Christgau calls it "pop without shame—her hookiest and most dance-targeted album, decorated with a thoughtful assortment of suitably titillating blats, noodles, dubs, groans, hiccups, boom-booms, cut-ups, speed-ups, xx samples, and spoken-word bits."[20] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times writes that Rihanna's version of dance music on the album draws on "the club music of the early 1990s".[2]

The album's lyrics posit Rihanna as a nihilist romantic and lascivious lover.[23] The album also has subtle dancehall influences,[19] with slower songs that have double-snare riddims.[18] Music journalist Greg Kot observes that, along with droning electronic sounds, "Caribbean and Eastern touches from past Rihanna albums get recycled into bombastic dance tunes."[24] Apart from its sexual innuendo, Talk That Talk features odes to dysfunctional love and universal love.[18] Christgau interprets the lyrics to be "associating carnality with love" and writes that the album "celebrates the relationship of sex to love rather than pain," before leaning on "heart songs and theme statements" in the second half."[20]

Songs

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.[25] "Where Have You Been", produced by Dr. Luke and Ester Dean, runs through an acoustic beat and incorporates elements of trance.[25] The lead single, "We Found Love", is an electro house and dance-pop song.[26][27] The title track features rapper Jay-Z and samples The Notorious B.I.G.'s "I Got a Story to Tell".[25] "Roc Me Out" is set in "chugging" tempo and features heavy synths.[28] The tenth track, "Watch n' Learn", features a flirtatious and playful hip pop melody with grinding synths.[25] The final standard edition track of the album, "Farewell", is a ballad.[25] The song was written by Ester Dean and Alexander Grant, with production helmed by Grant under his production name Alex da Kid.[29] "Farewell" contains lyrics that revolve around saying goodbye to a lover who is not able to be physically present in the relationship for long periods of time.[30][31] Instrumentation consists of a rolling piano.

Additional tracks released on the deluxe edition of Talk That Talk include the songs "Red Lipstick", "Do Ya Thang", and "Fool in Love". "Red Lipstick" is described as a "dark 'n' twisted" dubstep number which was written by The Dream and Rihanna and produced by the two along with production duo Chase & Status, who first worked with the singer on her fourth studio album, Rated R (2009). "Do Ya Thang" is a contemporary R&B track with a subtle hook and a simple message. It was written and produced by Rihanna and The-Dream. "Fool in Love" is a rhapsodic[32] ballad which incorporates acoustic and electric guitars, synthesizers, and drums, and has received comparisons to Britney Spears' "Criminal".[33]

Talk That Talk received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 64, based on 27 reviews.[76] AllMusic's Andy Kellman dubbed it Rihanna's "third best album to date ... behind Good Girl Gone Bad (2007) and Rated R (2009)," and stated, "Minus the fluff, it's close to the latter's equal."[70] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that the album 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."[2] James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph called it "an adrenalised behemoth of a record which reasserts her position as one of pop's most compulsive pleasures".[19] Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian called it "a blast of obnoxious, filth-fuelled pop" and felt that "it works best when the music hall bawdiness is left aside in favour of bleak euphoria".[71] In a review of its deluxe edition for MSN Music, Robert Christgau complimented the songs' carnal lyrics and stated, "I prefer it to her earlier albums because I find its many porny moments titillating."[20]

In a mixed review, Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times expressed dissatisfaction with the themes of the album and stated, "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."[18] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune panned its "double or single entendres", and felt that it gives the impression of "a chintzy soft-core porn movie."[24] Andy Gill of The Independent said that Rihanna mostly "struggles to assert her vocal character against a sea of effects".[72] Matthew Cole from Slant Magazine panned it as "pretty easily the worst Rihanna album yet".[77] Pitchfork's Lindsay Zoladz wrote that the album "tries too hard to send a more one-dimensional message" than other pop artists in 2011, adding that it "ends up falling flat".[17] Priya Elan of NME found it "annoyingly safe" and wrote that it "leaves us with the impression Rihanna has spread herself so thinly that she doesn’t have time to record a cohesive album."[73]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 198,000 copies in the United States, slightly below her last album, which also debuted at number three with 207,000 copies.[78] In its second week, the album sold an additional 68,200 copies in the United States, dropping to number 7 on the charts and bringing its total sales to 266,400 units sold.[79] On March 26, 2018, Talk That Talk was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[80] marking shipments of over three million album-equivalent units. It has sold over 1,150,000 copies in the United States as of June 2015.[81]

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. Talk That Talk debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling more than 163,000 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 a different album and single. The other double chart topper being "What's My Name?" and Loud in January 2011.[82] On December 9, 2011 the album was certified two-times Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 600,000 copies in the UK.[83] As of May 2013 it has sold 1,000,000 copies.[84]

but LOUD is its own body of work Plus you guys work so fucking hard that you deserve to act brand new 7 In an interview with Mixtape Daily songwriter 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 8 The duo also said that they had penned two

into the morning sometimes until noon before riding her bus to the next city In May 2012 Rihanna revealed that whilst she was recording the album she suffered from exhaustion saying in part It was the best shit ever it was some rock star shit This is the craziest schedule I ve ever been on in my entire life One morning I woke up and started crying so hard I finally just got to my bed from the IV drip and I was just like Good I can actually get to sleep tonight because we stayed up all night and I finished the album at 5 pm the day before 15 Kuk Harrell one of the producers of Talk That Talk spoke on the recording of the album saying In addition to touring we are recording Rihanna s new album We have a portable studio that we set up at the different hotels that we are staying at We set up shop anywhere in the hotel Before we went on the European leg of Rihanna s Loud tour we started recording the album in Los Angeles Rihanna likes to work late hours so she would come into the studio at 9pm and work until 6am 16 Continuing Harrell stated The show was the priority and then the album That s how the day was broken up Expanding on this Harrell stated that Rihanna would perform every night finish her meet and greet by 1 a m Then go to the studio for around two or three a m During these session Harrell stated I d make the decision based off sic where I felt her voice was Knowing she just did two hours of a show and meet and greets I would suggest capturing the stuff that was easier to get like the lower range stuff so we wouldn t hurt or damage her voice 14 Composition EditMusic and lyrics Edit Talk That Talk is a danceable pop R amp B crossover 3 album 1 comprising uptempo club tracks raunchy pop songs and mid tempo inspirational ballads 17 It also incorporates elements of dancehall hip hop and house 18 Most of the songs feature heavy bass and coarse sounds 18 including electro beats and imposing synthesizers 19 James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph cites Talk That Talk as Rihanna s most club ready album to date 19 while Robert Christgau calls it pop without shame her hookiest and most dance targeted album decorated with a thoughtful assortment of suitably titillating blats noodles dubs groans hiccups boom booms cut ups speed ups xx samples and spoken word bits 20 Jon Caramanica of The New York Times writes that Rihanna s version of dance music on the album draws on the club music of the early 1990s 2 You da One source source A 17 second sample of You da One s chorus which features the mid tempo pop and electropop composition 21 22 Problems playing this file See media help The album s lyrics posit Rihanna as a nihilist romantic and lascivious lover 23 The album also has subtle dancehall influences 19 with slower songs that have double snare riddims 18 Music journalist Greg Kot observes that along with droning electronic sounds Caribbean and Eastern touches from past Rihanna albums get recycled into bombastic dance tunes 24 Apart from its sexual innuendo Talk That Talk features odes to dysfunctional love and universal love 18 Christgau interprets the lyrics to be associating carnality with love and writes that the album celebrates the relationship of sex to love rather than pain before leaning on heart songs and theme statements in the second half 20 Songs Edit 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 25 Where Have You Been produced by Dr Luke and Ester Dean runs through an acoustic

Story to Tell 25 Roc Me Out is set in chugging tempo and features heavy synths 28 The tenth track Watch n Learn features a flirtatious and playful hip pop melody with grinding synths 25 The final

rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications the album received an average score of 64 based on 27 reviews 76 AllMusic s Andy Kellman dubbed it Rihanna s third best album to date behind Good Girl Gone Bad 2007 and Rated R 2009 and stated Minus the fluff it s close to the latter s equal 70 Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that the album 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 amp B and pop 2 James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph called it an adrenalised behemoth of a record which reasserts her position as one of pop s most compulsive pleasures 19 Rebecca Nicholson of The Guardian called it a blast of obnoxious filth fuelled pop and felt that it works best when the music hall bawdiness is left aside in favour of bleak euphoria 71 In a review of its deluxe edition for MSN Music Robert Christgau complimented the songs carnal lyrics and stated I prefer it to her earlier albums because I find its many porny moments titillating 20 In a mixed review Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times expressed dissatisfaction with the themes of the album and stated 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 18 Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune panned its double or single entendres and felt that it gives the impression of a chintzy soft core porn movie 24 Andy Gill of The Independent said that Rihanna mostly struggles to assert her vocal character against a sea of effects 72 Matthew Cole from Slant Magazine panned it as pretty easily the worst Rihanna album yet 77 Pitchfork s Lindsay Zoladz wrote that the album tries too hard to send a more one dimensional message than other pop artists in 2011 adding that it ends up falling flat 17 Priya Elan of NME found it annoyingly safe and wrote that it leaves us with the impression Rihanna has spread herself so thinly that she doesn t have time to record a cohesive album 73 Commercial performance EditThe album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 198 000 copies in the United States slightly below her last album which also debuted at number three with 207 000 copies 78 In its second week the album sold an additional 68 200 copies in the
