What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.” I just felt like you have to stay close to the ground.
RIHANNA DIAMONDS OTHER RECORDINGS OF THIS SONG FREE
I felt like I just needed to be open and free and really just fearless with who I am. I was very guarded and it just didn’t feel safe to be like that. Not apologetic necessarily, just that I held back before. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic, because it’s the truth. It’s all the elements that I am, that I’ve grown to become so far. I had no intention when I was making this record, except the truth. Was that your intention when you made this record? One of the themes in the album seems to be about how people think they know your personal life, but they really don’t know the half of it. All the songs were fantastic but sometimes you’re like, “Maybe we need a little more this or a little less of that.” So I was getting worried in the end, right up to the very last second, then it fell right into place. I knew I would be able to finish all the songs I had so far, but I didn’t know for sure that that was the body of the album.
And I got worried that it wouldn’t be finished in time. I wanted this music to be so good because it’s number seven and you don’t get that back. All I need to make is a great album." And that’s where the pressure really laid for me. 1 album, then you’re doing it for the wrong reason.” It kind of snapped me right out of it. I put so much pressure on myself when I was making this album that Jay-Z actually spoke to me and said, “If you’re making this to be a No. I just want people to know that it’s good enough. Then, with the seventh one, I really was thinking to myself, “This album needs to be good enough to be a No. You know what? I thought about it for the first few albums and then, after you don’t get it, eventually it just goes out of your mind. 1 singles which is already a huge accomplishment, but how important was it for you to get that No. As much as they think I’m entertaining, they entertain me just as much, if not more.Ĭongratulations on your album. They’re definitely a fun group-they’re really funny. It’s hilarious even to just watch them. They started to find out things about me, I started to find out a lot of things about them, and you realize how much you really have in common with people. I guess we started building a relationship like that and getting really close. They would ask real questions and I would answer. Then I just started talking to them again. Twitter is just like a giant chat room that you can text. I was like, “Oh my gosh.” So I said, You know what? This is the same thing as Twitter. They were asking all these questions and I was giving them real answers, but they wouldn’t believe me. I actually first started on a chat room on my fan site.
I was so anti-social network, which is kind of ironic. Well, at first I didn’t really use anything in the social network world. How did you and The Navy become so close? You have a special connection with your fans. If you don’t live your life, then who will? Really, I want to encourage them to be that way. They know who I am, that’s why I feel comfortable being myself around them. īut you’re pretty comfortable with connecting with your fans on social media.
