Goog song is out, and here's the hatred. So much of it.
So because you think it's great, everyone else has to?

Get a grip.

I am not saying it's great.

But it's very very good, a kind of step up for Rihanna as a singer, which I am pleased to see. If you prefer WFL... So be it, I never did like this song, though I love Harris.

I like her for put this in her catalogue of hits.


As for the song, I can't recall it's melody or smth. But when I listen to it, I love it. So it does has that flaw. As lots of good songs.

I don't know whether it's a remix, or a final mix of a song.
too much happening with the sounds, it's faster

Nice review http://www.muumuse.com/2012/09/rihanna-shines-bright-on-diamonds-single-review.html/


It’s fall, which means two things in accordance with the laws of nature: The air’s getting cooler, and a new Rihanna era is beginning.

And just has she’s done for years now–with 2009′s “Russian Roulette,” with 2010′s “Only Girl (In The World),” and with 2011′s “We Found Love,” the Bajan beauty’s come guns blazing with a brand new beat for her Navy: “Diamonds,” penned by Sia and produced by Benny Blanco & Stargate.

From the very first moment, “Diamonds” presents itself as something entirely different from anything on the radio: It’s not the killer club cut many might have been expecting from the “We Found Love” songstress–instead, it’s a gorgeously soulful, triumphantly striding midtempo.


“Find light in the beautiful sea, I choose to be happy,” Rihanna confidently declares, showcasing her vocals in a way that she really hasn’t explored since…”California King Bed,” maybe? She sounds incredible. Her wailing toward the end of the song, especially, is a real triumph–no doubt thanks to the guidance of Sia.

Speaking of, that springy, silly Sia-inspired enunciation which Rihanna imitates throughout just cracks me up in the best of ways (“Shayn brayght like a diamond!”) This is very obviously a Sia-penned gem, and that shines through (like a diamond.)

Even the beat itself doesn’t feel like a “typical” Stargate or Benny Blanco production (just listen to Ke$ha‘s own Benny Blanco-produced comeback track from two days ago.) Instead, it’s a gorgeous dose of swagger (hearing Kanye West‘s “Flashing Lights”) meets soul (hearing subtle shades of Jessie Ware, Sade and Blood Orange, of Sky Ferreira‘s “Everything is Embarrassing”) that feels endlessly repeatable.

This is Rihanna leading the charge in pop, rather than simply following the trends: There’s no dubstep, no post-chorus beat breakdowns, no “radio-friendly EDM” whatsoever–she’s been there, done that.

“Diamonds” is a risk–and an absolutely brilliant one, at that.

I don;t think it's a bad song. It's no lead record from a new campaign, but it's okay.

Comparing Beyonce to Rihanna is like comparing a cat to a jellyfish. Make of that as you will.

And nice comment from atrl :)

How in the world does she keep outdoing herself? I couldn't even imagine her outdoing WFL a year ago, but look what she gone done and did. Imagine what we'll get September 2013....


I like autumns!

That lead "record" just hit #1 on iTunes in 15 countries in two seconds so far.

Guess Rihanna's team knows what they're doing.

As far as I'm aware of, this is her best ever debut.

Of course it's going to be huge...it's beyond simple.

It's also uneventful, repetitive and goes nowhere.

Rihanna must wake up and praise God every single morning that she emerged in the era of chavs and their downloads.
