Drake was the one who brought the song to her, she didn't reach out to him. They recorded the song back in May. They are both friends in the industry so for you to make it seem like Rihanna is this desperate struggling artist seeking for a hit is ridiculous. The "sound" that you're referring to is a dancehall sound that Drake has been trying to push the past year with Jamaican born producer Boi-1-da. Drake, knowing Rihanna's culture and seeing as this song is more suited for a female lead of course would bring this to Rihanna's attention first. Producers and song writers bring songs to her all the time even when not recording an album. Thats just how the industry work. He brought "R.I.P" to her first but then she turned it down and Rita Ora recorded it. She doesn't need him for a hit. Its not like she's incapable of doing this on her own.
Thank God my iTunes library contains more than 370 albums.
Plus, I'm not a music snob like some other people.
That's why I'm not having a meltdown every single day.
I'm listening to Unapologetic right now after months and wooooWWWWWWW this slayage
HOW will this bitch top this album for me?! Nearly impossible
Me too.
Diamonds hit like a lightning from the sky.
Oh and having dusted for months, I gave 45S a listen and got hooked like it was Jan 2015 again.
She just sounds so good on it. I actually hope Seconds makes it with Bitch on ANTi.
I'd really love for something to come this Friday, even if it's just a release date or R8 opening or whatever. The tour is coming closer and closer, so she has less and less weeks to avoid releasing the album on.
