ive always thought Diamonds was really weak, boring, and superficial. everyone bought into it because it was rihanna I guess stepping in a mid-tempo direction compared to the edm club hits that came off her previous 2 records. but in all honesty its just annoyingly sung and repetitive and it reeks of sia. her influence in the studio was so pungent and resulted in this putrid stain of a track. not to mention ive always felt like it ripped midnight city by m83. its like they just slowed it down a bit and removed the screeching synth on the back of the track.
