We Ride is :wub:

This now sounds to me like Commander part 2.

Yeah I agree with the 'Commander' comparisons, sounds like a mashup of that and 'Sexy Bitch'.

 

That said, it does grow on each listen, the best bit is towards the end. :wub:

lol 'Fireworks' rehash

STAN ALERT STAN ALERT STAN ALERT

It doesn't sound like Sexy Bitch OR Commander. It doesn't really even sound like Firework.

 

It DOES sound like Million Dollar Girl (Trina ft. Keri Hilson). No bad thing.

The chorus is annoying. Her voice... it is grating my nerves.

 

I love the verses, maybe it will grow.

It doesn't sound like Sexy Bitch OR Commander. It doesn't really even sound like Firework.

 

It sounds alot more like Sexy Bitch or Commander than Firework LOL.

its a grower... loving it!

The verses are just 'Disturbia' as is the middle 8..."thief in the night"; would be funny if the thing didn't sound like 'Disturbia' in the first place :wacko:

Only just heard it (my internet has been down :( ) but I love it! :D

I'm not understanding some of the sensationalist hate on here, by no means is this her worst single, the dreary I Hate That I Love You and Rehab or the dated We Ride are far worse than this. I can see what people are saying about the vocals being grating, but I've always like the tone to her voice so that's not a problem for me. It it is a competent dance-pop song, by no means is this life changing, but it still makes me want to bop my head and get up and dance, so in my books that's a good thing. It is the in-sound at the moment, and with Rihanna's name of course still holding a lot of power, this should be a smash. While I like it at the moment, the lack of anything special means I will probably grow out of it way before commercial radio start bumming this to death.

Just heard her new song today. It's not bad, different to what I expected but think it will grow on me. Sounds more dancey and less of a hard edge but still fitting in with her urban pop sound.

THE SINGLE COVER! + More details on the single release.

It's a nice enough cover but it doesn't really suit the song, does it?

OMG WOW :o SEX-y ^_^

This is like the cheery light side of Rated R, keeping the R but changing it and the font is the same i believe?

The cover would be perfect if it wasn't for the tacky R.

I love the single cover and the song. :wub:

looks fan-made

Growing on me

I love the backing music of the verses. plus I've had it stuck in my head all day.

love that cover too. :wub:

 

wait, 21st september? is that here? :lol: seems too soon...

No, I assume not. It's a Tuesday, which is when songs are normally released to iTunes in the US. And yes, it would be too early for the UK release.
