Rihanna’s latest single, the house-inflected “We Found Love,” has already conquered the world, and we’ve learned that her new album Talk That Talk features an xx sample and a Jay-Z guest verse. And now “You Da One,” the second single from the album, is making the internet rounds. Compared to “We Found Love,” it’s restrained and summery, with a happily summery chorus and some dubstep bass-rumbles on the bridge. And it’s worth noting how off-kilter the entire beat is. Bass-music production techniques, it seems, have finally subtly bled through into big-money pop. We’ll probably be hearing this song carpet-bomb the radio over the next few months, but give it its first listen at Just Jared.
Talk That Talk is out 11/21 on Def Jam.

Just put in a new one. Universal’s working hard to shut down any streams.
Eh, it’s decently constructed but still doesn’t make me think that there’s anything out of the ordinary going on here. For every good song on most mainstream pop albums, there’s 10 that hit it right down the middle in terms of quality. If you took every single great Rihanna or Beyonce single and threw them together respectfully on a greatest hits comp, you’d probably have a mainstream pop album that’s as good as anything the slightly less mainstream Robyn has put out.
I like it. She sounds much better when she has a reggae-tinged sound than with just bland, straight pop songs like Cheers (Drink to that) and California King Bed.
great tickets for concerts, sporting events, theater and broadway, right here at http://www.frontrowking.com !!!
just read that jay-z is selling occupy shirts that don’t benefit the protest in any way. i know that this is somewhat off subject but i just wanted to take this opportunity to say FUCK jay-z!
