This is the biggest disappointment for me. Yes it's a soundtrack song but it dilutes her comeback IF she makes a new album.

My expectations were actually at zero so I don't think it's AWFUL but yeah it's disappointing and nothing more than a fairly nice soundtrack song. I was kind of hoping for something more upbeat or solar to "All The Stars" sad.gif

It’s not going to go into the history books but I like it. I’ve really missed her voice and I’m a sucker for a winter ballad, this one will get a few plays from me.

If it was a lead single from a long awaited album I’d be disappointed but it’s a good soundtrack song.

This definitely feels like a Katy Perry - Rise moment.

Hopefully she has a single coming swiftly in the next few weeks so this doesn't take all the impetus of being Rihanna's 'big comeback'

I'm used to being disappointed by her at this stage, for me it's a shock if she actually does anything good.

Sure it's not one of her best but at this point it's great to just have anything from her and she sounds great on this,
as a ballad it certainly works better than the recent Lady Gaga soundtrack ballad anyhow.

Not really a fan of Rihanna but interested to hear a track from her after so long.

I guess people were hoping for a banger and got a tender ballad.
I thought it was nice. I couldn't help but compare it to Lady Gaga's Top Gun ballad and it was a better listen than that.

With every play it's growing on me more and think it's really beautiful, not what I wanted from her but it's a very strong soundtrac song!

I expected something EPIC, not dreary.

It’s terrible.

At some points of this she is unlistenable for me. I usually like a Rihanna ballad but as a reintroduction to her sound this is just not good

I'm finding the "it's a soundtrack song" comebacks a bit exhausting, some soundtrack songs are amazing, in fact, a lot of the last Black Panther singles were really strong. Rihanna also has the ability to really excel when it comes to ballads, and this really goes nowhere.

I think this soundtrack was always going to be quite a different release to the other one due to the situation surrounding Chadwick.

The only issue is, I think people were hung up on this being a proper Rihanna comeback for her album/era and weren't expecting a ballad. I got chills the moment I heard her voice on the track and the song itself is gorgeous and is going to be a real tear-jerker moment in the movie, I think. They've gone for what is essentially their interpretation of 'See You Again' (Fast & Furious 7) - a tribute song for Chadwick. I think it really works and can actually see it being a hit. 'All the Stars' "big"? Probably not. But it's definitely more accessible (I think Heart, Radio 2 and all the other adult contemporary stations will hammer it alongside Radio 1 & Capital etc..)

She has another song on the soundtrack apparently, I can see that being more to what we wanted/expected from her *releases another ballad lmao*

But yeah, I absolutely LOVE this. It's stunning and I just know its use in the BP movie is gonna destroy me.

Yeah, this is absolutely gorgeous and I suspect it'll be a real moment in the film. A bit flummoxed by some of the negative reactions tbh!

Am I the only person who thinks this song will make more sense given the context of the movie? I could see it being used for T’challa’s funeral scene.


Yup. Getting a little emotional just thinking about it!
