Loved the video for Umbrella and respect what it did for Rihanna but when it released I thought it was boring. SOS is basic bitch status. After the hype wears off Umbrella may take Diamonds place but I don't think it will.

stuck at #4

I agree, it's SUCH a genuine surprise.

Except Russian Roulette was (initially) severely mixed in reception cause of the fact it was a ballad. A lot of people were like "OMG BORING IT'S A BALLAD!!!111!!!!"

Death @ me thinking it would be a reggae song.

I like this more than Russian Roulette. I was underwhelmed when Russian Roulette premiered, it took me like a month to really like it.

Ugh, I love Rihanna but I hate this song. I want another One Girl or We Found Love.

This won't do well on the charts. I wanted her to get that #1

just because it's not a dance song doesn't mean it won't go #1 honestly stop

[theppy]

Watch the song start going down

[Last Boy on Earth]

When will they release it in the Uk and Germany?

both songs are awesome but not obvious first singles


RR is classic and still divides opinion but at least Rihanna is still taking the same risks with her singles

[FAN]

So I've had time today to listen to this a bunch of times and honestly I'm disappointed. This is not what I expected or wanted from Rihanna. But that doesn't mean it's not a nice song. I do like the song. And I have a feeling I will be loving this song soon, but it's such a nonevent. And I mean that in the least shadiest way possible. But I admire her for releasing something so left field.

This is going to sound AMAZING on radio.

[CroNich]

I really like the verses tbh, the chorus is just a bit flat for me
