Both versions slay I'm happy for Tame Impala getting a little mainstream exposure from this, they're awesome.

How? They are a mainstream band. Their last album went top five and was a success in a few countries. They have major publications praising their work. They're very mainstream.
I will say this is one of the first covers I've heard where both the original and cover are comparable in terms of quality. But then again, they have the same beat, so... Anyway, it's easily one of the best songs on the album and fits her perfectly.
I don't understand what's great about it? It's the same track, except with Rihanna mumbling the lyrics. It would've been cool as a performance or something, but i just don't get why it's on her album.
Of course these hippies would be happy, no one checked them before and now they are getting their coins as well.
They are among the most successful and most acclaimed bands of today, stop the ignorance. Actually, they have sold more albums than any of the people on your sig this decade..
