Rihanna, for some reason, is about to 'Take A Bow' for the re-release of her album Good Girl Gone Bad. The song is quite subtle and not immediatly worthy of being a single, especially if this means pre-empting 'breakin' dishes' yet again, yet for all that i really think it works lyrically and vocally to produce yet another Neyo penned / Stargate mashed hit.
The possible re-release of her third album seems to imply that a fourth is not gonna happen this year at least, this is no bad thing, hopefully her next album will be her best. I think that in retrospect this is an awesome album; the latter half stands up well a year on, and although the album ends with some solid album only tracks, unlike the single worthy smorgasboard of the first half, it still plays well as a great album.
In conclusion: if 'Take a Bow' is the only new Rihanna song this year it'll do. If it was a lead single from album 4 it would be a dissapointment. If it slowly builds up on radio and helps sell a re-release of the album then thats great but hopefully the repackage is not just for 'slow to buy consumers', those only just thinking wow that umbrella song is catchy, hopefully the people that do, do put something for the pop officianado on the album with some real bonus material, live/acoustic/covers/remixes/dvds...a duet with chris brown...?etc
