Rihanna - American Oxygen (new song)
Rihanna has debuted a song from her new album exclusively on the streaming service Tidal.
Listen here: http://www.stereogum.com/1792019/rih...n-oxygen/mp3s/ Unsure if this is a single or album track but it's my favourite yet from R8. Should satisfy those who wanted something more commercial. |

4th song in a row from her I don't like. Is this some sort of alternate reality I'm in or something? Come on sis up your game. I mean this song isn't terrible like BBHMM but it's nothing special either. It's messy

Music Video here:
http://www.vulture.com/2015/04/rihan...an-oxygen.html Powerful and unusually political video for Rihanna includes footage from 9/11 and the Ferguson riots. |

It's always a risk when artists go all political
America haven't fully forgiven Madonna since American Life, and The Dixie Chicks were once the most hated people in america at one point. Great video and song. Her vocals are stunning. I think this will do better than Bitch Better Have My Money Ignoring the crap songs she did for Home, I am getting such a good vibe for this album. I this maybe a winner with the critics, but will really divide opinion among casual fans who expect another Diamonds or Only girl in the world. I think another reason why she has done a different sound change is she is now with Roc Nation, not Def Jam, meaning Jay Z is much more involved with her work, where as he stepped down from Def Jam and wasn't entirely involved in her music from Loud onwards bar a few collabs they did. |

I like this song better than B*tch Better Have My Money. That was absolutely horrendous IMO.

Anymore thoughts on this? You were all quick to rip into BBHMM
. I'm not sure I like these Tidal exclusives. This song should be out there for everyone to see.

It hasn't made me sign up. I've heard the song and seen the video without it. Just would rather this song become massive than be hidden away as it has more potential to be big than BBHMM.

Wow, that video is really great. The song wasn't my favourite but I still enjoyed it. Cannot wait for the full album, I'm so hyped!

Such a disappointment this year. She's just completely bombed for some reason. First FourFiveSeconds now this crap? What's happened to her? :/

Regardless of whether you didn't sign up, it will make people want to sign up. From a promotional and marketing point of view.

i like but don't love it. And I'm not sure why someone from Barbados is singing a US patriotic song?

FourFiveSeconds has sold nearly half a million copies in the UK so it most definitely hasn't bombed. She's missing the killer single which her previous albums have all had though.

This song is so meh. Sounds like it's gonna be absolutely amazing then just kind of simmers out into nothing. I hope it grows on me.

It's sold a similar amount to Russian Roulette and the album that followed that was her best so I'm not worried.
Oh dear. |
