Rihanna has revealed that she was worried about blending with other female artists due to a lack of creative control over her image and sound.
The Bajan star admitted to not having full control over her music or style before her 2007 album release Good Girl Gone Bad.
The 'Only Girl In The World' singer told Bang Showbiz: "I had a ridiculous schedule. It was kind of unfair. But I kept going. I was focusing on getting people to respect me as an artist, making my stamp in the industry.
"I wasn't 100% or even 75% in control of my image or my sound. I said, 'If you guys keep this perfect image of me, people will never notice me'. I kind of blended in. It was safe, the blonde, curly hair. It was a formula. I didn't want to be like all the other artists. I wanted to stand out."
"And the only way I could do that was by taking charge of my image and sound. And it worked. Good Girl Gone Bad was a big turning point for me."
