Her latest album, the Nov. 18th-due Talk That Talk, promises to extend her global-wide pop reign for at least another year, coming jam-packed with slick ear-worms galore, plus a Jay-Z cameo, a the xx sample, and some deliciously dirty ditties with titles like “Cockiness (Love It)”, “Birthday Cake” and “Watch N Learn”, all of which spend quite a few lines exploring what we can assume is the Bajan sensation’s favorite activity these days (Hint 1: “I love it, I love it, I love it when you eat it”; Hint 2: “Dive head first if you wanna/ Sing to my body/ Hold me tight Mr. Lover”; Hint 3: “Just because I can’t kiss back/ Doesn’t mean you can’t kiss that”). Official second single/ opening cut “You Da One” keeps it relatively clean in comparison to its raunchier album mates, but it’s also the album’s surest shot at a second No. 1 after lead Talk release “We Found Love”, following the basic premise of simply Xerox-ing much of what worked about previous Rih chart-topper “Rude Boy”. Boasting bright and poppy production with a lil’ island seasoning, repeated phrases that enter the brain and never leave and some boy-obsessed songwriting (“You shouldn’t-a give it to me good like that/ Shouldn’t-a hit it like that/ Had me yellin’ like that/ Didn’t know you would’ve had me comin’ back”), the song might as well be named “Rude Boy (Once More)”, but interestingly, the slight laziness of it all doesn’t make it any less irresistible, with small touches like Rihanna’s flawless delivery on the verses, her leaning on her accent through the chorus’ “ey-ey-ey” and a dubstep breakdown that succeeds in not being the eye-roll the increasingly omnipresent production trick has become helping ease “You Da One” into arguably one of her best singles yet. “You Da One”: BONUS: Rihanna featuring Wiley “We Found Love (Remix)” (DL): |

“Hotter than a muthafucka drippin’ like a sauna/ Swag on a zillion yup/ Check out my persona”, she boasts on this rumbling, Missy Elliott-esque anti-hater banger, before sending out more than a few slice n dice messages to those less-than females, or, to be deliciously more specific: “‘Can’t Pay Your Rent, Scared of Airplane’ bitches/ ‘Had To Get A Baby Daddy, No Hustle’ bitches”. Yes, yes and yes.

Oh yeah, and he’s apparently thirteen (with a birthday that falls on Valentine’s Day, no less), clues which combined with his somewhat mature-leaning voice and the even more questionable fact that we can’t find a pic of him anywhere around the vast World Wide Web lead us to believe we’re being served a big chunk of PR Make Believe. However, based in truth or not, we’re willing to play along, if only because the kid’s (or “kid”‘s) tender puppy love ode to “Phylicia”, complete with lovely kiddie choir doo-wop harmonies and simplistic poetry winners like “When I’m with you skies are never grey/ Everyday I spend with you is the best day”, does sugary Tiger Beat bubblegum pop so damn infectiously well. P.S.: If you really are thirteen Fairchild, learn a lesson from the Biebs and beware the groupies. They’re nothing but trouble. “Phylicia” (DL): This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
