Want to know what Rihanna works out to? Parties to? Plays when her heart is broken? The cover star of our inaugural Music Issue might be a world famous rock ‘n’ roll star, but when it comes to music Robyn Rihanna Fenty is just like the rest of us…

As human beings on planet earth, we need music as much as it needs us. The sounds we sing along to, spin along to and sob along to are more than mere background buzz; music is a key emotional connector, a way to bookmark both the important and insignificant moments in our lives, a means of bonding with friends old and new. The music always sounds better with you!
