Though she is the voice of slumber parties for fickle lip-glossed suburban cheerleaders, or sorority girls with pink or lavender IMacs, Rihanna is positioned for the long haul. "Good Girl Gone Bad" places Barbados' favorite daughter in a more distinctive, matured style, free of the scattershot approach of the first
two albums. "Rehab" adds the moody introspection that makes such a female singer, but don't expect a string of lovesick slow songs.

"Good Girl Gone Bad" is more kinetic and aggressive, courtesy of dance grooves like "Breakin' Dishes." The Michael Jackson-sampled, perfumed thump of the
house-fused "Don't Stop the Music" will have drag queens knocking people over to pose and strut under strobe lights. Jay-Z keeps the world from forgetting
him with a guest appearance in the popular "Umbrella" (the remix, featuring Virginia's own Chris Brown is even more enjoyable).
