So let down by this, not feeling it. Seeing as it's new Rihanna I'll give it a chance to grow on me, but usually she's so instant with me.

I've had this in my head ALL day at work and I ain't even listened to it since it premièred in the early hours of this morning. Such a great song. I wish it was just the rose tinted glasses talking, but I legit think this is gonna go down as a firm favourite of mine from her. Well, still in early days yet, but I can't get it out my head. :wub:

I honestly can't decide whether I love or loathe this. It really came from left of field and has left me a bit confused. Repeat listens isn't helping me either :(

This is NOT good :(

Not liking Rihanna's high pitched quirks and Paul McCartney's first part... :puke2: :(

Good god, her lead singles just get worse and worse.

Fully obsessed with this. I've got two pairs of loon glasses on of course but stillll :wub:

Prefer it to 'Only One' too :o

creme egg, i'm disinheriting you with IMMEDIATE effect

But it's WONDERFUL.

Also, creme egg – what a throwback :')

Based on this and the entire last album, I'm beginning to accept that she'll never do anything good again. :(

Outstanding. This is not at all what I expected from Rihanna but I can't get enough of this melody or the harmonies, just a fantastic effort overall. Even Kanye's singing doesn't diminish it too much! The denim in the artwork and the acoustic guitar on the track give me such 90s vibes :wub:

I wasn't really a fan of 'Unapologetic' and am left feeling a bit cold about this but this is a bit of a ridiculous statement given she is only 26. I know she is already 7 albums into her career but lots of pop icons release a lot of albums and seeing as she is so young and is such a massive star, I don't see why she shouldn't release something closer to 27 albums, re-inventing herself many times along the way. I hope so anyway.

WOW! Loving this very excited for both albums now!

I don't like it. :(

Lost in Paradise tho!

It's 'FourFiveSeconds' without spaces. It's very important.

 

Also, the song is so dull.

I wish I could have an OMG NEW RIRI I AM SLAIN reaction but this isn't really the comeback I was hoping for.

 

Her vocals make it better than Only One at least, hopefully it grows on me as it doesn't exactly sound instant.

This is such a let down on every level. I'm failing to see anything positive about this track. I hope this isn't representative of the rest of the upcoming album.

First US radio update with one day payola

Close to debuting on both Urban and Rhytmic as well

 

And the song is growing on me immensely as well! Just like Diamonds did in the end

This is failing to grow on me. :( If anything it's getting more annoying. The lyrics are terrible... that's possibly the most offensive thing about the song. The demo like production draws more attention to the lyrics too, and they're just not worth hearing.

 

Ready for the next single, wake me up when it arrives!
