I would be lying if I said I wasn't dissapointed that it wasn't a club banger but this song just makes up for it. It has the urban beats of a midtempo but the piano and lyrics of a ballad, which match well for her.
I just can't stop listening to this, its so great.
I dunno if I'm mentally ready for Rated R, I think its gonna defeat my soul.
yeah... he said it would have to grow on him. He pretty much likes almost everything that Z100 plays, and considering it's Rihanna it's so disappointing. She's one of the biggest pop stars of the decade.
You can vote as many times as you like on Perez's site so that is not a true indicator of how it wil perform. Some of those people have probably voted 100 times.
It could still do ok if z100 doesn't like it but that's definitely a big blow.
My personal opinion... Your average 20-somethings and soccer moms will probably percieve the song to be morbid and depressing... so I kinda don't see this smashing on radio.
The song is good, but it's one of her weakest singles ever and i don't like the look she's going with. If someone else were to come out with this some of the same people worshiping it would call it boring, but whatever..
i think its actually a really good choice. Remember tricky said she has another MONSTER song. so shes really gonna show her versatility and appeal to Urban/R+B/Pop/Dance listeners
