Tha ish: Rihanna

Just when I was about to count Rihanna out of the game, she releases an infectious pop song, “Only Girl (in the World), and restores my faith in the Bajan beauty.



After her less than stellar cd Rated R, I thought that I would never listen to another Rihanna track. Her songs were dark, depressing and just bo-ring! None of her songs had that spark like her previous albums (*except for her single Hard), and in my opinion, nothing was worthy of a download.


Then, she released this upbeat, fun, playful song. I heard it just a few times and already knew all the words. I proudly sang it at work, in the car and in the shower. That’s when I know I’m feelin’ a song.


So I guess I’m back to being a Rihanna fan. I hope her next single is just as hot.

Tha ish: T. I. + Rihanna

I’ve been wanting to write about the song, “Live your Life” ever since I saw T.I. and Rihanna perform it at the MTV Video awards show about a month ago. It was the very first time that I heard the song, and I immediately fell in love with it.

The hook is definitely tha ish! It totally sells the song. Rihanna gives the track a shot of edge and griminess and undeniably creates the year’s best hook! Yes, I love me some Rihanna and she can do no wrong in my eyes, so it’s no surprise that I’ve become obsessed with the song.

I was finally able to track down the link to the official video. Check it out!
