It's Rihanna's New Single "Diamonds"

Thank god Rihanna has chucked the generic dance thump of many of her previous singles (though I still dig "We Found Love") and switched up the sound for her lead offering from her 723rd album, which is due out this November.

Sia wrote "Diamonds" (it was produced by Stargate and Benny Blanco), and the lyrics therefore display a bit more maturity — and far less of a sexual overtone — than RiRi's more recent offerings. The mid-tempo beat reminds me of slower '70s disco like "Love To Love You Baby" for some reason.



Anyway, really loving this track. Nice switch-up for Rihanna. Don't fuck it up with the album like you did with that grating pile of cack Talk That Talk, though, hooker.
