Discover new music from artists we think you'll like. Refreshed every Friday.

Part of what makes Rihanna stand out is how she took the bad-girl template and blew it up into something more complicated: an artist who could be unabashedly feminine but who could out-nasty her male counterparts at every turn, whose sexual frankness never got in the way of her tenderness or depth, who could be both dirty and genuine—you know, like a whole person. These are the tracks that highlight Rihanna at her most empowered and unapologetic.

Underneath her hard exterior, Rihanna’s just a soft romantic like the rest of us. And sure we all love her pop bangers and hip-hop cuts but her slower songs and ballads creep up on you, becoming fast favourites. Revisit her softer side in this collection featuring production from Stargate, Ne-Yo, Mikky Ekko and Justin Timberlake.

Not only has Rihanna made some of the best party tracks in recent memory, she’s arguably the biggest global pop star to really tap into the sound and feel of modern Caribbean music—a trend that has changed the course of pop as we know it. This playlist focuses on her fun side—songs that capture the joy and carefree sensuality that make her music a fixture at parties, from crowded kitchens to big, sweaty clubs.
