ATRL is only here for gay-friendly generic dance-pop. Even then, they always drag Rihanna's singles until they are successful on the charts.
Look I can agree with you to a certain degree but c'mon really now, Rihanna is already a legend and has thus far managed to only get better with time. Her ability to keep her sound fresh and appealing to a wider audience is something rare and one of the things I praise her for. This is a regression in every way and I can't understand how any Stan can be blind to that. FFS is just alright but considering all of Rihanna's previous leads it just doesn't compare. This as the second single not only doesn't compare it doesn't make sense either. Love you riri. End of rant
