Love On The Brain

Love On The Brain is a 1950s and 1960s-inspired doo-wop and soul ballad by Rihanna from her 2016 album ANTI. The track features orchestral arrangements with guitar arpeggio, organ, and syncopated strings, exploring themes of toxic love through a classic soul lens. Its retro production style and melodic guitar work make it an engaging piece for electric guitar players interested in soul and vintage-inspired arrangements.

  • Released in September 2016 as the fourth single from ANTI, written by Joseph Angel and producer Fred Ball.
  • Features orchestral doo-wop and soul elements with prominent guitar arpeggio in its arrangement.
  • Explores the emotional complexity of a toxic relationship through vintage-inspired vocal and instrumentation.

Session guitarists use Stratocasters on Rihanna tracks for their bright, articulate single-coil tones that cut through dense synth layers without getting muddy. The versatile pickup switching lets producers dial in the right clarity for pop arrangements or warmer tones for darker ANTI-era material.

Telecasters provide the sharp, punchy single-coil attack that rhythm guitarists need to sit cleanly in Rihanna's highly produced pop mixes. Their bright, cutting tone ensures guitar details remain distinct even when layered with electronic production and vocal arrangements.
