In fact, Beyoncé’s self-titled 2013 album has a lot in common with Anti in that it tamped down the expected dosage of fingernapping fun to instead offer Halloween atmospherics and nap-time BPMs. Beyoncé is probably the last artist to successfully pull this kind of move off (though, before you hit “comment,” know that I’m not trying to equate any of these titles in quality). They also, in their mediocrity, offer a reminder that self-awareness is a lot easier to achieve than a good pop song.īy ditching the sonic signifiers that made her popular in favor of something thicker and more complex, Rihanna joins a tradition that goes back at least to the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. Taken together, the two albums suggest that even pop stars are getting worn out by the industry they’ve profited from and the culture they’ve shaped. It’s an anti- Anti in sound, but somewhat akin in its intentions. Sia’s new album This Is Acting actually is meant to be a collection of spin-class jams-but also an exposé of how the modern song machine works. In what’s probably a coincidence, Anti has poached attention from another pop fixture’s attempted rebellion against expectations this week. She will glower and wail as the public thoughtfully nods, impressed by pop’s latest lightweight-to-heavyweight transformation. She will not stand by as critics label her a mere creator of product. She will not be providing any more songs for spin classes. As its title hints, Anti is an act of refusal. At 27, Rihanna doesn’t need anyone else’s coins anymore. It’s probably best to think about Anti’s carefree, socialistic launch as part of a larger demonstration of power and wealth. Huh? What happened to “all I see is dollar signs”? Is Rihanna feeling the Bern? Surely the wife of Tidal’s CEO isn’t being held for ransom right now. 0&((window.Elementary Education Has Gone Terribly Wrong Natalie Wexler The tour for the album kicks off next month.
