And mind you, Rihanna has done four of them before now - none of them did anything. A few become massive acclaimed classics, but it's very night and day between ones that do and don't and only a few do. Wait drag Never Ending I was thinking while listening for the first time it kinda gave me an upgraded Never Ending I was just saying! This reminds me so much of Never Ending and Close to You, it's like a cross between the two

If she had launched a new era with her own content, I dont think anyone would mind this It’ll be taken as face value - a soundtrack single in service to a movie, a franchise and a deceased person’s legacy. Understandable, Curious what your definition of that moment is tho? Cause again Rihanna music is rarely received well upon initial release on here. We can go down a long list of songs and album (Anti) that was met with harsh criticism and drags initially and overtime when it became commercially successful folks acted brand new. So to see ppl in here talking CRAZY… career suicide … killed all hype, worst song ever…etc. She’s freakin Rihanna … been in the industry going on 18yrs this will not negatively effect her career in the grand scheme.

Can’t expect anything to resonate with people who don’t even understand the songs significance. She is a nearly 35 year old Mother now. Y’all are not getting Bad Gal Riri the way you once used to. She gave y’all 7 albums of ***** pops get over it. The excuses. I don't think anyone was expecting Pour it Up 2.0.

Wow bethenney wow. Some were bound to dislike but it isn't about not appreciating the song.

UnusualBoy Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 The song is gorgeous, the chorus has been stuck in my head since I heard it.

I can imagine it being really impactful at the end of Wakanda Forever. With that being said, I was expecting something more like this… A ballad with more ‘oomph’ behind it. Taste. i would have loved if Lift me up delivered with this cadence

Anti-Hero is def blocking on Spotify Global Potentially Unholy too depending on how Rih holds for the next hours… The song just isn’t what the GP wanted.

It’s simple; a single unencumbered by any extenuating factors. Yes, it may get polarising reaction but at least ppl will be gauging the song on its own merit. None of this … its a soundtrack song, its a tribute song malarky. Regardless of atrl’s reception. The song will do its thing. I dont think anyone’s implying her career will take a hit for this. Thats just silly. Multiple tepid soundtracks is pretty much a rite of passage for every MPG.
