Robyn Rihanna Fenty (/riˈænə/ree-AN-ə), (born February 20, 1988), known mononymously as Rihanna, is a Barbadian singer and songwriter. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning for its then-president, hip-hop producer and rapper Jay Z.
Rihanna (originally titled and alternatively known as Rihanna: The Last Girl on Earth) is a coffee tablephoto-book by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna and British artist Simon Henwood. Henwood envisioned the project as the depiction of a "journey", as it includes professional and candid photos by him, that show the singer's fourth studio album, Rated R's (2009) promotional campaign, alongside pictures from other live appearances. The publication features a preface written by French designer Alexandre Vauthier.
It was first issued in the United States as a hardcover edition including a CD, on October 15, 2010; also being released in paperback formats and a deluxe hardcover edition including a crystal monogrammed clamshell and a signed image print. To promote the book, Rihanna appeared at a Barnes & Noble store where she signed copies of it. Editors commented on the book positively, favoring Rihanna's looks and Henwood's photography.

I DO NOT own this song. This song belongs to Rihanna and Def Jam Recordings - none of this is mine - I am just a fan.

I changed some stuff in the song to make it longer, because this is an awesome song and I don't know why it wasn't longer. I am thinking Rihanna had planned on it being an intro to something, not a real song.

Mad House ― Rihanna: The Eras Tour (Concept)
Just a little concept for Rihanna: The Eras Tour... Imagine if she did a world tour where she celebrates her 8 eras of classic hits and even with some underrated gems added to the setlist? I might do a full concept for it in the future.

Something in her eyes is luminous An enormous surprise, she's darker than I, She's a fairy-like cat into the night A tune in her hair's reflecting white She's touching my hands through the forgotten lands A kiss won't be so bright again Horses and gnomes in the Madness Home By the sky Glowin'n'blowin' I felt like a clown when I saw'em By the light For certain, through the window I saw you looking at the mirror By the moonlight (so that's my story…) Gazin' at her, I've been underneath her Curtain of pearls, turning bright she appears Fading night around her, right where she stands But otherwise, comparing me twice with her I realized who's, instead of her eyes, Handlin'n'rulin' Twilight and I'm wondering why Horses and gnomes in the Madness Home By the sky Glowin'n'blowin' I felt like a clown when I saw'em By the light For certain, through the window I saw you looking at the mirror
