Just listened to the song twice!
Highlights:
- A lot better than I thought It would be, judging from the snippet.
- I can feel the mixture between rock and reggae. Its like that the sounds, and not just the voices, of both singers got mixed! That said, its refreshing, not EDM but not too retro (like Bruno and Justin).
- Rihanna adds an different touch to the song; it wouldn't be so interesting if it was just Shakira.
- Lyrics: good, not WOW, but good. Love the mind/memory references!
Downsides:
- The middle 8 should have a different instrumental; being similar to the verses makes it a bit boring.
Overall: 8/10
It sounds like a grower too.
