OT Telefe New music: only girl-rihanna

OT Telefe
Rihanna is back with yet another hot track. 'Only Girl' is set to be the first single from Fenty's 5th studio album: 'Loud' (set to be released mid-november). The single will be released to U.S. radio in 13 days. The song centers around a girl who wants her guy to make her feel special and cherished. She is return will do things like; make sure that she knows his heart, make him feel like a man, etc.
The song is definately very danceable and upbeat. Should do very well in the U.S. market and especially in Europe. The album overall sounds like it is going to be more fun/youthful and lighter than her preview album 'Rated R', which really was a good album. The only thing that messed up the sales was the order in which the singles were released... 'Hard' should have been first (it's upbeat and just the type of image that she would want to project after the event that happened earlier in the year), then 'Rude Boy', 'Te Amo' (there was room for cross-over into the latin market w/ a single like that. she could have performed it at some latin new years celebrations, etc). and then they could have kinda played around w/ the order of the next singles, b/c by then the public wud have been eating out of her hand...
Just hope Rihanna is taking control of her career, calling the shots, educating herself on the different aspects of the industry and not just being a product. When you're at a level such as hers, it's easy to not focus on the small things, but you definately need to be in creative/financial/conceptual control of your career. Def Jam did a really good job of sticking with her and crafting an image for her, but what can she do to maintain that image and take it to the next level?
