If only the music were compelling enough to back up the supreme bad faith, we’d have the R&B punk masterpiece Robyn “Can I Get a Face Tattoo?” Fenty is clearly aspiring toward, what with that cover art of her bare torso scrawled over with word graffiti, hashtags, and other labels that could be taken as either self-inflicted branding or armor from her fans who both support her and misinterpret her relationship with Brown. I guess it’s our fault for being so “interested” in what’s being shoved down our throats. Now that the bruises have healed and crazy/stupid love is reportedly once again blooming between Ri and Chris Brown, is she blaming her audience for her abuser’s continued PR nightmare? If so, the lyrical flirtations with disaster that pop up throughout Unapologetic represent one of the most grotesque distortions of “blame the victim” syndrome in pop-music history, a form of Stockhausen syndrome that passes the buck onto the casual bystander. As her private life continues to disappoint people for whom said incident is, according to the title of her new album’s best and most tactless song, “Nobody’s Business,” she conversely drops allusions to it in the most indiscreet manner. Why should we believe anything Rihanna says anymore? She seems disingenuously interested in using the incident tabloids regard (with some justification) as the most intriguing story in her life as an artistic crutch.
