Take a bowRihanna
Rihanna has now become the queen of R&B.
Her powerful voice really resonates in the heart.
Personally, I recommend R&B when you’re going through a breakup.
It helps you bounce back without sinking too deep.
Rihanna has plenty of other great songs too, so I highly recommend her.
Be sure to give her music a listen!
