Rihanna - "Fading"

[Grenade]

“Fading Away” - A beautiful ballad that likely references her relationship with Chris Brown. The song includes the lines, “Ready for change, baby, Open up my eyes and finally realize you’re fading away. Too late… Running your mouth. So fed up, don’t press your luck today. What’s a girl to do when she’s crying inside?”

Are all of her breakup ballads going to be typecast as Chris Brown-related for the rest of her career? I mean, I got it with Rated R, but everyone sings breakup songs - Rihanna did before her incident with Chris - and not every single one is written about a single relationship.

Mariah has been writing Tommy songs forever as well as Eminem with his Haileys, Kims, Mariahs, Moms, and everyone else he writes about. The album after this will be the true test I'm thinkin'.
