Glamorous shrug.

This is Rihanna's new single, Diamonds.

We mentioned in a previous post that the song in question was written by Sia and everyone on twitter is saying you can basically hear Ms. Furler singing it herself, with Rihanna singing over the top. We don't quite hear it.

What we DO hear is a song that doesn't stand 20 feet away and blast our face off with a cannonball. Why would you want a song to do this? Well, maybe because it's fun. Maybe because we expect to have our heads blown off by a lead Rihanna song. This song doesn't quite do it (for us). Maybe it's the repetitive nature, the irksome hook, the flat structure?

We expected more, but it'll do for now.
