It was released on November 18, 2011, by Def Jam Recordings and SRP Records. In 2011, Rihanna decided to re-release her previous studio album ''Loud'' (2010), however she revealed that the idea had been scrapped and she would instead release her sixth studio album. The album was recorded between February and November 2011, predominantly during Rihanna's Loud Tour. As executive producer, Rihanna enlisted a wide range of producers including Alex da Kid, Mr. Bangladesh, Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, Cirkut, Da Internz, Dr. Luke, Ester Dean, Gareth McGrillen, Hit-Boy, No I.D., Priscilla Renea, Rob Swire, StarGate, The-Dream. Musically, ''Talk That Talk'' follows in the same vein as ''Loud''. ''Talk That Talk'' is a dance-oriented pop/R&B〔 crossover album that incorporates elements of hip hop, dubstep, electronic and house music. The album also continues to have subtle dancehall genres, whilst "Talk That Talk"'s lyrical content and themes revolve around a nihilist romantic and lascivious lover. Upon its release, ''Talk That Talk'' received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number three on the US ''Billboard'' 200, with first week sales of 198,000 copies in the United States. As of November 2013, the album has sold 1.12 million copies in the United States. The album peaked at number one in Austria, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, where it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, selling 163,000 copies in its first week. As of April 2012, the album has been certified three-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 900,000 copies.〔 Six official singles were released from the album. "We Found Love" was released as the lead single on September 22, 2011, and quickly became Rihanna's eleventh number one in the US, remaining at the top spot for ten non-consecutive weeks. The track also topped the charts in 26 additional countries. "You da One" was released as the second single, with moderate worldwide success. The eponymous "Talk That Talk", featuring rapper Jay-Z, and a remix of "Birthday Cake" were sent to radio as the album's third and fourth singles. "Where Have You Been" was released as the fifth single, reaching the top ten of twenty countries around the world. The sixth and final single of the album was a remixed form of "Cockiness (Love It)", featuring rapper A$AP Rocky. ==Background== Following the release of Rihanna's previous studio album, ''Loud'' (2010), the singer revealed via Twitter that the album would be re-issued with new songs and released in fall 2011, writing that "()he (era ) continues with more new music to add to () collection". In September 2011, Rihanna took to Twitter to confirm that plans for a re-issue of ''Loud'' had been scrapped, with the singer tweeting "I (about ) a (), but LOUD is its own body of work! Plus () guys work so () hard that () deserve to act brand new." In an interview with ''Mixtape Daily'', producer Verse Simmonds, half of the duo The Jugganauts, who wrote and produced the reggae-infused song "Man Down" from ''Loud'', revealed that the singer was nearing completion of her sixth studio album in August 2011. The duo also said that they had penned two tracks for possible inclusion on the album, saying "From what I understand, she is closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well" and also expressed interest in writing a third song.〔 On September 15, 2011, Rihanna confirmed via her official Twitter account that recording sessions for the album were indeed underway, tweeting "I can't wait to start filling u guys in on some details!" Rihanna created a Facebook campaign page entitled "Rihanna: UNLOCKED" (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/sic" TITLE="sic">sic'' ), whereby her fans on Facebook are given missions to complete, in the form of games, in order to "unlock" new information about the album. Upon the unveiling of the standard edition's artwork, both James Dinh of MTV and a reviewer for ''NME'' commented that Rihanna looks "seductive" in the image. Gordon Smart of ''The Sun'' humorously criticized the standard edition artwork by saying that it looks as though the singer is trying to cover up a cold sore with her tongue, writing "It's easy to pick them up at this time of year – especially as she's constantly naked or attached to her new boyfriend Dudley O'Shaughnessy by the lips." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talk That Talk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
