It's just so terrible.

 

I'm embarrassed for everyone involved.

 

Just compare this to 'We Found Love' lead single...or 'Only Girl'

I can understand people being disappointed with it but I absolutely love it. One thing about Rihanna is you never know what she's going to do. It's a style I never thought she'd do nor suit it at that, but it's still somehow very Rihanna.

I usually know it's going to be something good, though :'(

I'm not a fan of this. :(

I really like this! The style suits her well for this song but I wouldn't want an album full of tracks like this.

 

Regarding the artwork, I like it and it does look very 'cool' but Paul McCartney looks so out of place it hurts to look at. He really did not need a credit.

1. "We Found Love"

(9. Take a Bow - but I wouldn't really consider this a lead).

I'm not entirely sure what I think about it. I mean it's good but it's so not Comeback worthy and defo not Rihanna good music worthy. On the other hand it's #2 on iTunes so it must be liked a little bit at least.

It's brilliant. I LOVE how raw it is. Her vocals are great on it! I agree in that as a lead single it's perhaps not strong enough and doesn't make enough of a statement, but as a song I can't help but love it! The melody is incredible!

1. Umbrella

2. Pon de Replay

3. We Found Love

For me right now. The top 5 are all 10/10 moments and FourFiveSeconds is probably at 7.5 now.

 

SOS remains an absolute dud in her discography tho

'Russian Roulette' and 'Umbrella' are always switching places. Both outstanding though. I can see FFS overtaking 'Diamonds' shortly too! I don't hate OG(ITW) it's just a very "7/10" generic, dance pop song. Everything else above though :wub: She has some stellar lead singles.

Someone needs to rescue you Tim!

Me and my flawless taste are perfectly fine Adam x
