The "Late Show" appearance comes as Barbados beauty is currently in full campaign mode as her new album "Loud" was just released today.
As for the album's first reviews, in August Brown, Los Angeles Times commented, Loud is in other respects, a strong reminder of Rihanna's skills before the 2009 Grammys incident changed how we read her songs.
Meanwhile, Chris Richards in the Washington Post wan't quite so positive, opining, This album makes you wonder if Rihanna ever lived anywhere other than behind a microphone. She is a technician of all and can credit her success to a massive fan base who find such uber-precision irresistible. Loud is the opposite and impenetrable.
