Grammy winner for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Umbrella”

Black Vinyl LP

Rihanna’s third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad, was released on May 31, 2007. The dance-pop, pop and R&B album with 1980s music influences represents a turning point in Rihanna’s career — a departure from the Caribbean sound of her previous releases, Music Of The Sun (2005) and A Girl Like Me (2006). Apart from the sound, she also projected a new image for the release, going from an innocent girl to an edgier and more sexual look. The album debuted at #2 on the US Billboard 200 and received seven Grammy Award nominations. Good Girl Gone Bad spawned five singles, including the international hits “Umbrella” and “Don’t Stop The Music.”
