Mon, 09 Nov 2026 - 12min - 444 - RIHANNA: PART 4 (with The New Yorker's Doreen St. Félix)
In the fourth and final installment of our Rihanna series, The New Yorker’s Doreen St. Félix joins DJ Louie to discuss the superstar’s final two albums, her transformation from hitmaking machine to critically acclaimed auteur, and her near-total retreat from music over the last decade. First, they unpack 2012’s Unapologetic, Rihanna’s first number one album, its blockbuster singles “Diamonds” and “Stay,” and the controversies surrounding her renewed relationship with Chris Brown. Then, they explore the long, messy road to 2016’s Anti, a daring, genre-defying left turn that traded Rihanna’s signature radio-ready bangers for something stranger, moodier, and more personal, ultimately becoming the most acclaimed album of her career. Finally, they consider Rihanna’s reinvention as a billionaire beauty mogul, her enduring stranglehold on pop culture despite a decade away from the album cycle, and the question that continues to haunt her fans: Will we ever get another Rihanna album? And do we even need one?

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 - 13min - 442 - RIHANNA: PART 3 (with The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli)
The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli joins Pop Pantheon for part three of our Rihanna series, digging into Rih's imperial era as the biggest hitmaker in pop. Joe and Louie explore her return to bright, carefree pop following the darkness of Rated R with 2010's Loud, which spawned three #1 hits, including “Only Girl (In the World),” “What's My Name?” and “S&M.” Then they tackle her rapid-fire follow-up, 2011's Talk That Talk, which featured her biggest hit yet, the EDM era-defining “We Found Love,” and pushed her sound and persona in increasingly sexually provocative directions. Finally, they discuss Rihanna's controversial reunion with Chris Brown on the “Birthday Cake” remix and how her relentless string of hits cemented her place at the very top of the pop hierarchy.
Join us next week when we'll dig into 2012's Unapologetic, Rihanna's then-unprecedented four year hiatus from solo albums, her return with 2016's magnum opus, Anti, and the ups and downs of the decade-long drought since then.
