To deepen my previous talk about a tribal era for R8, i realised the chanting in OIFAN is very similar to the american indians chant and the W magazine shoot is build around that.
Let's hope i'm wrong because she will be accused of cultural appropriation. I'd rather see her go around african tribal ...
You mention these things as if Rih is consistent/makes plans in advance/doesn't have a million photoshoots from last year alone that contradict your theory. Beyond that, I don't think she's that dumb. Regardless, chanting is found in many cultures so idk how it could be pinned on one particular group...
Diamonds was written in 14 minutes according to Sia, and Calvin Harris said that Team Rih wanted a song done in two days for Unapologetic, so this isn't really surprising.
If R8 is a dark tribal era I will lose my ****ing mind. That is, like, my FANTASY era. All the visuals in the same vein as WHYB/a dark Rude Boy and all the music being a mixture of songs like RMO, WNL, NLA/PIU, Cockiness/Numb would just obliterate me.
Interludes are cool when its like 1 or 2, but not like on Tinashe's album aquarius. There are way too many and they are not even interessting except for Indigo Child.
but still mad house is the best interlude ever
True. I forgot about this tiny detail.
Indians, African american ... same team, both terribly mistreated by our narrow minded ancestors.
It won't be as offensive as if she was white.
If Rihanna's is covering something February then we should get the cover this week. MARC&Rihhyonce which magazine hasn't revelead their February issue yet? VOGUE Paris?

We all know that Rih and her team are behind her photoshoot ideas, maybe that day she was specifically into that after a juicy recording session influenced by amer-indian music.

Listen more carefully, and listen to some indian chants on youtube, it's the exact same thing.
Nothing comes closer.
