The edgy, rebellious tone of both the album and her new personal style showed that Rihanna had more to say than what her record label was feeding the industry. ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’: Rihanna’s 2007 LP Was The Catalyst For Her Iconic Fashion Style… Just when critics were ready to categorize Rihanna as a throwaway artist who wouldn’t last, the singer proved she was here to stay with a single defiant chop of those Disney princess locks the night before she shot the album cover and the groundbreaking release of Good Girl Gone Bad. While this new project featured more challenging songs like “SOS” and “Unfaithful,” it wasn’t enough to shake off comparisons to the likes of Beyoncé, Ciara, Ashanti and Teairra Mari. We were first introduced to Rihanna with 2005’s Music of the Sun, which featured singles like “Pon De Replay” and “If It’s Loving That You Want.” She followed that up a year later with A Girl Like Me. “Uh huh, uh huh… yeah! Good girl gone bad!” Who knew a simple introduction by Jay Z on Rihanna’s “Umbrella” would shift the way we thought about her forever? The pop star’s third album Good Girl Gone Bad celebrates its 10th anniversary this week (May 31 was the international release, June 5 for the U.S.), which served as the catalyst that would transform Rihanna from the average girl-next-door singer to an icon in the making.
