"Love on the Brain"
(2016)

"Love on the Brain" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer Rihanna for her eighth studio album, Anti (2016). It was written and produced by Fred Ball, with additional lyrics by Joseph Angel and Rihanna, with Kuk Harrell serving as the vocal producer. The song was serviced to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radios on September 27, 2016, serving as the album's fourth single. "Love on the Brain" is a doo-wop and soul ballad, inspired by 1950s and 1960s music. Its instrumentation consists in a guitar arpeggio, swirling organ, a simple chord progression, syncopated strings, and orchestra. Lyrically, the song has themes of swinging back and forth between the highs and lows of a toxic love.

Rihanna's vocals on "Love on the Brain" were noted to be versatile by several critics, having lower and higher notes throughout the track, and were compared to those of Amy Winehouse and a range of soul artists. Commercially, the song has reached the top of the charts in Poland, as well as the top-twenty in New Zealand. In Canada and the United States, the song has so far reached the top-forty, peaking at number 34 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 46th top-forty hit and placing her as the third female with most top-forty hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Rihanna performed the track during her Anti World Tour, as well as at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards and the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.

Background and release

Norwegian producer Fred Ball co-wrote and produced the song.

"Love on the Brain" was the first song commissioned for Anti.[1] It was written by Norwegian[2] songwriter and producer Fred Ball and American songwriter Joseph Angel in late 2014.[1] The inspiration for the song were artists like Prince and Al Green; Ball recalled, "We wanted it to have that juxtaposition of an old school soul feel with modern lyrics. That's why Amy Winehouse was never pastiche or retro even though her music has an old soul sound."[1] Ball also stated that they didn't write the song with Rihanna in mind, however his manager at Roc Nation, Jay Brown, heard the song and loved it. Brown sent it to Rihanna and she also reacted similarly, and wrote additional lyrics.[1]

American producer Kuk Harrell did the vocal production of the song. Ball and Angel also supplied the song's keyboards and drums. "Love on the Brain" was recorded at the Westlake Studios in Los Angeles. The vocal recording was done by Marcos Tovar for Allfadersup and Harrell. The song was finally mixed by Manny Marroquin at Larrabee Studios in North Hollywood, along with mixing assistants Chris Galland, Jeff Jackson & Ike Schultz before being mastered by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound, in New York City.[3]

"Love on the Brain" was first announced as a recorded track in 2015, and was planned to be debuted at the 2015 Brit Awards, however Rihanna allegedly pulled out.[4] In early August 2016, Philadelphia radio personality Mike Adam stated that the "Love on the Brain" would be the album's fourth single.[5] On August 21, 2016, Rihanna confirmed via her Instagram account that the song will be the album's next single.[6][7] It was sent to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radios on September 27,[8][9] impacted contemporary hit radio on October 11 and the hot adult contemporary stations on November 14.[10][11][lower-alpha 1]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

According to some reviewers, Rihanna was channeling Amy Winehouse in the track.[12][13][14]

"Love on the Brain" is a mid-tempo '50s and '60s inspired doo-wop and soul ballad,[13][15][16][17][18] with a "rock edge".[17] Its instrumentation consists in "a guitar arpeggio," "swirling organ", a "simple chord progression,"[12] syncopated strings,[17] and "a wave of an orchestra".[19] "Love on the Brain" is written in the key of G major with a tempo of 57 beats per minute in compound quadruple (12
8
) time
. The song follows a chord progression of G–Am–Em–D, and Rihanna's vocals span from D3 to G5.[20]

Rihanna's vocals on the track were noted as being acrobatic and ranging from her "trademark snarl", to high notes,[16] being complemented by an all-tenor backing vocals.[19] Forrest Wickman of Slate commented that "Love on the Brain" seems designed as a showcase for Rihanna’s vocal versatility: She starts out singing high and sweet, then drops into her chest to show off the lower part of her range and finally get into powerful belting. She even does a few seconds of what sounds like Frankie Valli's falsetto."[21] Jordan Bassett of NME compared her high notes to those of Mariah Carey." [16] Jessica McKinney of Vibe and Maeve McDermott of USA Today agreed with the Beyoncé comparisons,[19][22] with the latter perceiving an "Erykah Badu-esque vocal quirks" on it.[22] Bianca Gracie of Idolator cited Amy Winehouse, Etta James' "Rather Go Blind" and Sam Cooke as other influences,[13] with Winehouse also being cited by other critics,[12] with Michigan Daily's Christian Kennedy citing Winehouse's song "Wake Up Alone" as the song that Rihanna borrowed "stylistically."[14]

Lyrically, "Love on the Brain" has dark lyrics that depict a destructive, yet addictive relationship,[19] with themes of "swinging back and forth between the highs and lows of love."[21] Bassett noted that the song was an "ode to a violent lover" which he believed was Chris Brown following their highly published domestic violence case. He stated that the violence themes were introduced in lines such as "It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good / Must be love on the brain,"[16] comparing to a 2016 version of The Crystals' "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)".[16] McDermott opined that the song's lyrics "may or may not reference a certain tumultuous past relationship", indicating the lines "I'm fist fighting with fire" and "It beats me black and blue but it [fucks] me so good" as examples.[22] For Adam R. Holz of Plugged In, the song "mingles nihilism, lust and at least the metaphorical presence of physical abuse."[23] Jessica Eggert of Mic agreed, noting that "Rihanna wears her heart right on her sleeve and takes no prisoners in expressing the pain of a metaphorically and physically damaging-yet-undying love."[24]

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic picked it as a highlight from the album, noting that "her voice is hoarse and ravaged, yet she's also controlled and precise, knowing how to hone these imperfections so her performance echoes classic soul while feeling fresh."[25] Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Billboard deemed it "a doo-wop powerhouse sung in a Prince-adjacent falsetto — and is proof Rihanna’s been working with some primo vocal coaches."[26] Idolator's Bianca Gracie was also complimentary of her vocals, writing that the "rough-edged, soulful ballad finds Rih at her vocal best."[13] Patrick Ryan of USA Today called the song an "easy highlight," noting the "cozy doo-wop nostalgia."[22] Emily Mackay of NME noted the doo-wop groove, deeming Rihanna's vocals as a "powerhouse vocal performance."[27] Jordan Bassett of the same publication called it "totally brilliant, with the singer showcasing the kind of vocals we’ve not heard from her before."[16] Safy-Hallan Farah of Spin was also favorable with her singing, while James Grabay of the same magazine named it an "effortlessly time-traveling track."[18]

Chris Gerard of PopMatters noted it for being "one of the more interesting tracks on the album," addressing her "Macy Gray-like drawl during the verses."[28] Corbin Reiff of The A.V. Club highlighted "the deep soulful tones" found on the track, and was favorable with her voice being "the undeniable focal point" of the track.[29] Nolan Feeney of Time declared that "Love on the Brain" and "Higher" "offer the most stirring vocal performances of her career."[30] Jessica McKinney of Vibe agreed, being positive about the "soulful performance that showcases her own range."[19] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph defined it as a "standard, mid-tempo retro soul anthem" that "in the context of Anti , it sounds like a work of pop genius."[12] Calling it "hypnotic," Eric Renner Brown of Entertainment Weekly remarked that on the track "she delivers some of her finest vocal moments yet."[31] Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe picked it as "essential", stating: "As she implores 'Don’t you stop loving me,' her performance has a grit, sweat, and weariness to it that’s unusual and humanizing."[32]

Live performances

Rihanna included "Love on the Brain" on the encore of her Anti World Tour.[40] After attending the show at the Wembley Stadium, Lewis Corner of Digital Spy called the performance "a triumph, as Rihanna's tone on the Motown sway is pure joy."[41] Michael Cragg of The Guardian claimed that the performance is "delivered with such conviction it feels like you’re watching a different artist."[42] On May 22, 2016, Rihanna performed the song at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards; the performance featured a low lit stage with Rihanna wearing a green fur stole and sunglasses. Her performance was described by Billboard as being a "standout".[43] Sarah Grant of Rolling Stone named it a "gut-wrenching solo performance," comparing her stage persona to those of Whitney Houston, due to the "storm of tour-de-force vocals."[44] Megan French of Us Magazine stated that she "slayed the performance with her impressive vocals."[45]

On August 28, 2016, Rihanna received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, in honour of the award she performed four separate medleys. The fourth and final medley consisted of Rihanna singing Stay, Diamonds and Love on the Brain, Rihanna wore a white dress, and performed informant of a full orchestra accompanied white grand piano.[46] Christopher Rosa of Glamour called the performance "breathtaking" continuing to state that the setlist was a "feat of vocal gymnastics,"which Rihanna "sang the hell out of."[47] Billboard's Joe Lynch ranked Rihanna's medley's the second best of the night and particularly praising the fourth stating "the absolute stunner was the final performance," continuing to say "her vocals, which are sometimes under-appreciated by critics and even fans, were gorgeous and impressive, reminding everyone that beyond the chart-toppers and DGAF behavior, there's an astonishing voice that propelled her to where she is now."[48] On September 24, 2016, "Love on the Brain" was also added to Rihanna's setlist on the 2016 Global Citizen Festival.[49]
