ok, it's good. i listened to it a little bit louder

[Eóghan Scherzy]

It's nice.
It doesn't alter too much the original version.

[SpinThatShhh]

That remix seems to lose the trippy/ethereal magic of the song.

[Homebrand]

Doesnt there need to be a clean version aswell? That will sound messy

[Cherish]

Doesn't sound that great...

Reading comprehension is key.

[Santaus]

The mix is fine by me, but still prefer the album version.
Does that really make the difference though?

[Nein]

I like it

[Eóghan Scherzy]

Now i'm fine with this going full on all formats. The pop mix + relatable lyrics = smash.

Europe still needs a single. I know i'm annoying. The best part of the song: lyrics, is completely lost in the european market.

You can tell by the snippet that the chorus 'punches' more, which means pop is more likely to **** with it. It would have likely been played on Urban and Rhythmic no matter what but this makes it more likely to crossover.

I wonder which version will feature in the video.

There's going to be a clean and dirty. They're holding off on adding the vox to see if Rihanna will record substitute ones where needed.

That's why it was made like this.

[ELECTRAHEARTPOP]

Also... did we ever find out why Rih changed 'I wake up and act like nothing's wrong' to 'why you gotta act like nothing's wrong' in the Work video?

Omg Omg Omg. Now it sounds like a true smash hit

[Starkboy]

The more you listen the more you like it. It has more chances on Pop now imo.

I wonder if they'll use this or album version for music video.

That was the original line from the demo. She changed a few lyrics, but that one last minute, I guess.

[SpinThatShhh]

So, this version isn't finished?

Album version it is for the MV then.

Oh, that makes perfect sense. She really is the female Kanye, different versions for her videos because she works until last minute.

Yeah, since it's already in post, I think they'll use the album for the video, but who knows. The mix is for crossover radio potential, though, so it's not a big deal.

By the way, the date was pulled because they wanted a full (Pop/Rhythmic/Urban) release. I'm pretty sure she has two other videos shot, too, but I'm not positive.

Do you think they'll release it on iTunes/Spotify etc.? I personally think it's unnecessary. Not that it will hurt

Rooting for April 5th.
