April 6, 20169 yr This whole thing annoys me so much as it has all happened because RCA are so desperate for a hit. 'Aquarius' was the best platform to build from - the album got universal acclaim and became somewhat of a 'cult forum classic' in the space of a year. Sure, sales weren't too amazing, but her name was out there, she was getting good views on the music videos she was dropping and people were talking about her in a positive light due to the musical output being so strong. Now nearly 9 months after she first started teasing the follow up on social media we are no further forward. Constant pushbacks, singles being released without any real commitment to them meaning songs like 'Ride Of Your Life' are sat on less than 1 million view on YouTube after a whole 2 months of being released (I think Player had hit a million within around 3 days), postponing a tour half way through when shows were selling out and doing well (if they didn't want to tour before Joyride was released, they should have never have started it in the first place). Apart from getting T a feature on 'All My Friends' (which RCA are letting completely flop in the US due to not properly pushing it) I can't think of how else RCA could attempt to kill the hype for this anymore than they already are. I am very annoyed for her.
April 6, 20169 yr I wish they would push her material outside of the US. I mean, Player managed to go top 40 on iTunes in the UK without any promotion and radio play! It could have been a 'Do It Again' sized hit.
April 27, 20169 yr So a song called 'Joyride' has now been registered under Rihanna's name as a new track for R9, and according to screen-grabs Tinashe is claiming that it is indeed the title track for this album which RCA have now sold to Rihanna, removing all her vocals from the track. It is meant to be the title track and they do this? She just embarked on the 'Joyride' tour. It's as if RCA are deliberately trying to embarrass her, what kind of a move. They obviously have 0 respect and 0 faith in her, I'm fuming for her.
April 27, 20169 yr That's absolute bullshit. What kinda shitty move was that? :mellow: Well, at least we know a bit of the problem as to why 'Joyride' has been delayed so many times and is forever in production! :\ RCA are always quite shit though, aren't they? That is horrendous for her and heartbreaking!
April 27, 20169 yr I am praying the album still goes ahead. I am gutted for her, especially because it is the title track :(
May 1, 20169 yr Rihanna wishes she had an ounce of talent and as much creativity in her music as Tinashe does. So annoying.
May 2, 20169 yr Author i think we can all agree both Rihanna and tinashe are incredibly talented popstars
May 2, 20169 yr The backing track of that almost copies from Mariah's 'Fantasy' in the way Fleur's 'More and More' does from 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody'. (Kind of like it though) *Late* but that Tinashe song is essentially a cover of Tom Tom Club's 'Genius of Love', with some minor lyric changes. The reason why it sounds like a copy of Mariah is because 'Fantasy' heavily samples 'Genius of Love'! Tinashe's 'Genius of Love' was used in Target advertisements. I agree that it's not great, although it seems like they weren't aiming for it to be anything more than something cute & cheesy for the advert. It's a pity, because that song + Tinashe really could have been very cool. It's certainly a world away from Mariah's glorious 'Fantasy'. *.* ~ Eek at 'Joyride' being snatched for Rihanna! Have RCA completely lost faith in Tinashe? Album release date delays, tour cancellations, now a track of hers being sold (the title track, no less)... it's hard not to assume that her career is in major crisis at this point? :(
June 25, 20169 yr Announcement that new single should be coming in the next 2-3 weeks, the album should be coming late summer/fall and she has stated "I’ve got a lot of features coming up soon, on other people’s stuff" to look forward to over the next few months. Source: http://wwd.com/eye/parties/diesel-bad-mens...paris-10470032/ So glad that she is about to come back fighting after all the set-backs. Got faith that she can come back with something killer and get this era kick-started again, no more false starts please.
June 27, 20169 yr White blank pictures being posted all over her social media. Seems like something is definitely brewing :dance:
June 27, 20169 yr Yay! I've been missing her far too much. Still gutted about 'Joyride' being sold off too, but hopefully she'll have some new stuff that's better <3
July 20, 20169 yr Another fun collab whilst we wait: 9lWATuNmKsE I actually love her contribution on this, her voice is so naturally sexy that it goes so well.
August 16, 20169 yr Author the Enrique original is my song of the summer / the Spanglish remix is just life
