Rihanna stayed true to her word and premiered her new song, ‘We Found Love (Ft. Calvin Harris)‘, this morning. The track, which will officially impact Top 40 radio on October 11th, is the lead single from her new album, which is scheduled for release in the fall.
Listen to ‘We Found Love’ below:
Predictably, Rihanna ventured further into the trendy Dance/Pop territory instead of taking a risk by pushing for artistic growth. There is absolutely nothing about this record that reflects the fact that she has been in the industry for over 6 years or that she is one of the most successful acts of the last decade.
In fact, all Rihanna did on this record was lazily drift through her falsetto, which was bolstered by heavy reverb, over typical Dance production that could have easily been put forward by any other performer. This makes it obvious that she is indeed only focused on scoring a hit instead of being a true artist.
I am deeply disappointed by this record. Hopefully, someday Rihanna will realise the potential that she has to take West Indian culture to new heights and forge a niche in the music industry that none of her contemporaries would be able to emulate. Until that time I will politely ask her to stay off my iPod.
How dare you Rihanna.
