SUN OR BLEACH- RIHANNA?

Published January 23, 2012 | By

From honey to Mustard……-Rihanna’s color change

In late 2005 when Rihanna rose to stardom with her song ‘’Pon de Replay’’ , with her distinct Afrocentric features looked amazing covered in a dark caramel that looked kissed by the Barbadian sun.

We could relate, even though being from different islands, we still felt a sense of pride at her escalating level of stardom.

Lately, it seems with every hit song, the hue of her skin has gotten lighter and lighter, while her wonderful, charismatic Caribbean accent has also disappeared. The accent that gave her songs their distinct sound. I took up a bottle of mustard this weekend at the supermarket and was thoroughly amazed at how similar Rihanna’s color was to the bottle and its contents. Could it be the change in climate? If it is, please put Vybz Kartel in a jail near there.

Digital cameras are good but they had good cameras back in ’05, so the change in color surely has nothing to do with film. With each change in hue, Rihanna’s behavior has become gradually more like Hollywood with no evidence of ‘’Caribbean values’’ in sight. Each video, each song, pushes an extra button, with a lighter hue in close proximity.

Before, there was hardly anything to learn from her songs, hearing them made you sing without thinking, should young women bleach without thinking as well?
