Rihanna shed the weight of her emotional trauma when she returned with her next musical experiment: her fifth studio LP, "Loud," where she dove head first into her R&B and dance-pop era. The album was a clear declaration of Rihanna's freedom and control of her own destiny, from its striking red imagery to the then-redhead's happy and liberating lyrics on songs like "Only Girl (In the World)" and "Cheers (Drink to That)." The pop masterpiece turned Rihanna into a certified superstar who was finally letting her music do all the talking.
