The Barbados-born singer's full-length, MUSIC OF THE SUN, performed well on the strength of the single, and offered more of Rihanna's commercially tailored dancehall-pop.\nA GIRL LIKE ME, Rihanna's sophomore release, is less overtly dancehall-influenced than its predecessor. Instead, the album makes a more straightforward play for mainstream R\u0026amp;B appeal. The album's lead-off single and video \"SOS,\" for example, centers on a sample from Soft Cell's version of \"Tainted Love\" (including the immediately recognizable laser-gun sound), making for a bouncy, sexy pop confection. \"Unfaithful\" is an R\u0026amp;B ballad that finds Rihanna in torch mode, and sounds like a hit in the making. While there's nothing quite as striking as \"Pon the Replay\" here, there is plenty to power Rihanna's rise up the charts.","brand":"Rihanna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44583670644969,"sku":"EAFRWY-8M3F-00","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/rihanna-a-girl-like-me_AhBnT.jpg?v=1742346619","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/rihanna-a-girl-like-me","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
