In many cases the packaging is superior to, or at least more elaborate than the majority of vinyl releases. They are also known as LP replicas as they tend to exactly replicate the original packaging of the first vinyl release. What is a Mini-LP CD?Ī Mini-LP is a CD version of something that was originally released as a 12" (12 inch) vinyl LP.
However, as the format became more popular and began to be used by more manufacturers, the generic "digipack" came to be used to describe all soft CD packaging. Digipacks were first created by MeadWestvaco, and their product, called Digi-Pak, is trademarked. Released in the summer of 2007, this sexy woman as car metaphor track is one of four songs from that album to make it onto this list of Rihanna’s biggest hits.

Whether the album seems ridiculous or spectacular (or both), Rihanna's complete immersion in the majority of the songs cannot be disputed. The one exception is the wistful, bittersweet "Photographs," a rare instance of the singer dropping her guard, but it really sticks out since it is surrounded by material that has her taking the variably authentic roles of abused lover, dominatrix, and murderer. "G4L," over a low-slung and sleek production, is the most fantastical of all, in which Rihanna leads a band of homicidal women, opening with "I lick the gun when I'm done 'cause I know that revenge is sweet" and "Any mothaf*cka wanna disrespect/Playin' with fire finna get you wet." The breakup song, "Fire Bomb," even though it is also metaphorical, is a close second in terms of lyrical extremity: "I just wanna set you on fire so I won't have to burn alone." Some of the breathers - the songs that are less intense - hold the album back since Rihanna sounds detached from them. The closest the set gets to upbeat pop is "Rude Boy," and by any standard it is stern needless to say, there is quite a difference between "Can you get it up?" and "You can stand under my umbrella." Much of this daring album is absolutely over the top, bleak and sleek both lyrically and sonically, but it's compelling, filled with as many memorably belligerent lines - two of which, "I pitch with a grenade/Swing away if ya feeling brave" and "I'm such a fuckin' lady," set the tone early on - as a rap album made ripe for dissection.

And then there's an audible shudder followed by a discharged bullet - the abrupt end to one of Rated R's most restrained moments. Listen free to Rihanna Greatest Hits (Umbrella, SOS and more). Unapologetic, the Grammy-winning seventh studio album by Rihanna, was released on November 19, 2012, by Def Jam Recordings. Even with the realization that it is metaphorical, the song startles with its hesitant gasps, spinning cylinders, and verses that are glacially paced, where a cold piano line and the slight inflections in Rihanna's voice are front and center. "Russian Roulette," released weeks prior to Rated R, just hinted at Rihanna's sudden desire to provoke.
