Intrigue...

So Rihanna's got a new single planned, recorded and announced and it doesn't even feel like she's finished promoting the last one yet (she hasn't even started). WILL SHE NEVER STOP ETC.? Of course some people will doubtless put this down to shortened attention spans, due to the internet, meaning artists are incapable of taking breaks without having to completely rebuild fanbases. But this is just not true, people do not have shorter attention spans these days. Oooh a cat pawing the air in a comical fashion! Look a ginger seal! Oh Ulrika Jonsson's looking haggard these days! Regardez over there, a fat person falling over! Oh a bigot said a naughty thing!

Where were we?*

Anyway. Rihanna's new single. As you can see it features Calvin of the Harrises, so will, in all probability, be ravey and guitary and synthy and euphoric but a bit one-note and shapeless with a very simple and unexciting structure and a fairly heard-it-before sonic pallette... but who knows, maybe it won't be. Maybe it'll be a baroque aria full of lutes and lyres. Give the people what they want!!!!!

Any which way, we are also intrigued by Riri's new style which is hot fierce, androgynous, retro. We quite like it.

Beyond that, your guess is as good as ours.

The end.




*DO YOU SEE WHAT WE DID RIGHT THERE? COMICAL N'EST-CE PAS?
