Rihanna killed it with this era.

Rihanna is one of the biggest pop stars of our time. However, she hasn't dropped a new album in over eight years. Her last project was the incredible Anti which came out in 2016. Overall, fans have given up on her ever dropping a new album. After all, she has moved on to other projects. For instance, she has been working hard on her Fenty Beauty line. Furthermore, she is a mother now, and that has certainly taken up a considerable amount of her time. Whether or not she drops another album, is anyone's guess right now.

With Rihanna's absence from the music world being felt by everyone, fans are now going back to her old projects. A great example of her early work would have to be Good Girl Gone Bad. This 2007 album is a classic that features a ton of incredible songs. Overall, there are so many tracks to choose from when it comes to Throwback Thursday. However, today, we have decided to highlight "Shut Up And Drive."
