Last week Chris Martin the lead singer for the group Coldplay called the singer Rihanna the "Frank Sinatra of our generation." I am going to have to agree. Now don't get me wrong, I realize there are some large differences. However they are very similar. Martin goes on to describe how Rihanna can make anything sound amazing with her amazing vocals. I love her voice in the songs where you are truly able to hear voice it is truly captivating. This is similar to Sinatra's signature, where smooth voice makes any moment better.
Rihanna has created several hot singles and albums, reaching audiences across the globe. Her Caribbean influence is something that is fresh and unique in the pop scene. Every album has its own flavor and is never dull. Rihanna has been a trendsetter from the beginning. From the ruby red hair to the cute pixie cut the masses follow Rihanna. She is always seen wearing the latest fashions and is always welcomed at the hottest shows during fashion week. She has recently released a sandal partnering with puma, which are currently out of stock because of their popularity.
But with all of those social accomplishments there is still a lot to be said about her music. It is so much and exciting that she truly enjoys making music. Her music is uniquely her, she knows her sound and her purpose. In 2013 she won the first ever AMA Icon music award. The music has touched so many that they made an award to describe how her music has effected the hearts of millions.
Sinatra has done the same thing. In his time he was pushing limits and breaking barriers. They both has used their music to really be uniquely them. Sinatra had many accomplishments as well. He received an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 1953. As well as being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1985 from President Reagan. This is the highest award a U.S. citizen can receive. He received this award from President Reagan acknowledging his societal contributions. His music is still used today in movies. His music has been able to transcend time and stay relevant 50 plus years later. I believe she will have the same success as she continues in her career.
