专辑介绍

《Music of the Sun》是Rihanna的首张录音室大碟，曾空降Billboard 200第10名。此专辑的首单《Pon De Replay》曾在告示牌百强单曲榜中取得第二名的位置。

北美年轻的R&B/Soul女歌手Rihanna，1987年出生于加勒比海的小岛Barbados。年幼时的她就在一些场合表演以娱乐家乡大众。她的出道颇具传奇色彩，传说适逢纽约著名音乐制作人Evan Rogers和妻子在Barbados小岛上度假，Rihanna的朋友把她介绍给Evan Rogers，听完Rihanna的声音后，Evan立即就被Rihanna的演唱天赋所震惊，马上给她录制样片寄给各大唱片公司，最后，Rihanna签至Def Jam唱片公司旗下，并推出第一首成绩很不错的单曲“Pon de Replay 。而她的首张专辑Music of the Sun也于2005年8月30日上市。

很多人会把Rihanna归为传统的dancehall歌手，但其实Rihanna的音乐是dancehall和reggae的混合，并带有一些清新的R&B曲风。

首张专辑Music of the Sun获得Billboard节奏蓝调专辑榜第六位,同时获得流行专辑榜第十位,首支单曲Pon de Replay也在欧美两地获得很好的成绩。

Given the proliferation of young and beautiful urban dance-pop divas dominating the radio and music video airwaves in 2005, it initially was tempting to discount Rihanna as yet another Beyoncé-Ciara-Ashanti cash-in. But like her Def Jam labelmate Teairra Mari — another young and beautiful urban dance-pop diva who emerged out of nowhere in 2005 — Rihanna is winsome rather than wannabe, thanks in no small part to her producers. Just as Teairra Mari benefited greatly from irresistibly shrewd beat-making on her debut album, Rihanna benefits from the knowing production work of Syndicated Rhythm Productions, aka Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken, who together produced a laundry list of contemporary teen pop sensations during the prior decade. What these guys do that's so irresistibly shrewd is synthesize Caribbean rhythms and beats with standard-issue urban dance-pop: Caribbean-inflected urban, if you will. So while a song like "Pon de Replay" — to pick the most obvious exhibit — is driven by booming dancehall-lite beats and a reggae vocal cadence (and title spelling), it's a simple dance-pop song at its core, with standard English-language singing as well as a can't-miss singalong hook (and a glitzy, urban-style MTV video to boot). The best songs on Music of the Sun follow this appealing template, including the similarly catchy few songs that follow the aforementioned album-opening smash hit: "Here I Go Again," "If It's Lovin' That You Want," and "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)." As with most albums of this ilk, Music of the Sun descends into faceless slow jams after a while, overall consistency not being among its attributes, but thankfully it picks up the pace toward the end of its 13-song run and concludes on a fun note, with a remix of "Pon de Replay" featuring Elephant Man. The result is one of the more engaging urban dance-pop albums of the year (and one of the most infectious summer jams, for sure), as well as a nice Caribbean primer for those not ready or willing to jump on the increasingly trendy dancehall and reggaeton bandwagons concurrently sweeping through America's more fashionable cities.
