That squawky synth sample from Soft Cell's ''Tainted Love'' on sexy single ''SOS'' isn't the only thing that screams '80s on A Girl Like Me — a sophomore disc which drops a mere eight months after the modestly successful Music of the Sun. The 18-year-old also unwisely invokes the chest-pumping days of Diane Warren-ified soap-pop balladry. And since Rihanna's no Mariah (or Taylor Dayne, for that matter), her thin, still-maturing pipes are better suited for effortlessly cool reggae-lite confections like ''Dem Haters'' and ''Crazy Little Thing Called Love.''
