IN ORBIT: An Album Listening Party Sound, movement, and discussion are combined to explore a seminal work by a revered artist. Each session takes place in 4 parts: Launch: An opening DJ set to prime the space Orbit: Uninterrupted full playback of the album on vinyl Atmosphere: A moderated discussion of the lyricism, production, cultural impact, and commercial success of the album with audience participation Re-Entry: A closing DJ set and live performance that expands outward from the album, situating it within a broader musical landscape For the sixth edition of the series, we explore Rihanna’s 2010 fifth studio album. Loud marked a vibrant new chapter in Rihanna’s evolution from rising pop phenomenon to one of the true defining artists of the modern era. The album trades the darker, more introspective atmosphere of Rated R for a brighter sound and in Rihanna’s own words: “an unforgettable energy.” Styled with her signature red hair, she sonically shifts between dance pop, R&B, and Caribbean influences, while touching on themes of defiance, celebration, and vulnerability. It’s a reclamation of joy and control while refusing to be confined to a single image or identity. Loud pushed Rihanna into superstardom, cementing her status as one of the era’s most influential architects of contemporary pop music. There will be DJ sets by Joopiter + live performances and a panel discussion featuring artists and super fans that will be announced shortly!
