Grammy Award-winning singer, Rihanna is known for her emotionally charged songs. Her songs in her earlier years revolved around attraction, love and having fun. It then transitioned to highly controversial topics such as drugs, murder, and sex. However, her latest song "Love on the Brain" brings back to her original roots, with a twist.
The song "Love on the Brain" sings is an extremely emotionally charged rendition of a love song. It is a powerful song representing one woman's desire to have a man, blatantly singing what the man needs to love her and to love her more intensely.
The song "Love on the Brain" also gives a 1940s or 1950s feel to it. It has a lavish and exquisite musical styling present during the said era, complete with the big band, not to mention a sexy and sensual voice enough to melt anyone man's heart.
According to Vibe, Rihanna left it all on the 2016 Billboard Music Award stage during her passionate and heart pounding performance of her sensual yet vulnerable rendition of "Love on the Brain." She performed in front of a packed crowd as she sang passionately about love she just can't get enough of.

Rihanna's "Love on the Brain" performance is one that is unforgettable. This time she didn't rock the stripper outfit, doing stripper dances. She just had to simply stand on stage, dress rather modern and classic with fur and shades complete with nothing but a dark background with a slight tinge of green adding to the drama.
As added by Billboard, the Barbadian singer seemed to savor the performance of the throwback lounge cut, drawing out high notes swaying with emotion during the song's chorus. She then drew uproarious cheers and applause from the audience as the stage lights up signaling the end of the performance.
The song "Love on the Brain" can easily be considered the best song of Rihanna to date. With a few F-bombs which is characteristic of the singer's song, the message is clear. The emotionally charged singing also makes it one of the best 2016 has ever heard.
