My only fear is I don't want any Lana comparisons.
Rihanna obviously worked with Mandler first (and probably shares a large responsibility for the success of his career), but there are many uneducated people out there.
Also I've seen comparisons between Diamonds and Lana Del Rey songs, so her working with Mandler now will only fuel those comparisons I'm sure :/

No, she would only copy her We Found Love video since Ride video is WFL Part II.

They're pretty solid imo. I like them all, but I can hear radio eating up the Dave Aude and Bimbo Jones remixes! They're amazing. Steven and Gregor are nice too.
If by sickening you mean bad then I agree. I think it's horrible. There's something wrong, like the mixing is just totally not appropriate. Very disappointed.
The others are okay.
The best thing I've heard was a mashup with Midnight City tbh.
Umbrella was not directed by Mandler. Only Girl is basic... Since her last album did not sell much, i'm expecting low budget videos this era.
My bad. Still RR, Disturbia and Man Down were great videos. OG was visually stunning. Only Girl was basic, boring and safe as a song so you can't completely blame Mandler for trying to make a video to match the song. I know where you're coming from because I was apprehensive about stargate producing again given his track record for making basic songs for Rihanna but I think we should hold judgement until the video releases.
