alt Hacker NewsHow did Rhianna look him in the eyes and say "yes babe, good album, release it, this is what the people wanted after 7 years, it is pleasing to listen to and enjoyable"?

It seems the numerous leaks and trials took their toll.
I don’t disagree with you—I felt “Tailor Swif,” “DMB,” and “Both Eyes Closed” were all stronger than the tracks that made it onto this album.
But sometimes you’ve gotta ship the project in the state it’s in and move on with your life.
Maybe now he can move forward and start working on something new. And perhaps that project will be stronger.
Im sure it was more like, “hey babe, can I get a few millions to go in the studio and experiment/make some art?” And then she was like, “yeah go for it! Make some weird shit.”
If I was in his position I’d probably be doing the same. Why bother with another top hit that pleases the masses.
Because it was awesome. But also, leaks probably.
I prefer when artists make music they intrinsically want to make — not what others want them to make.
