not the mixtape smashing i-

Such a forgotten underrated classic - it deserves a resurgence!

 

 

[Dekkan]

How random  work diva

[Keeandga]

As it should, it’s underrated one of my favourite early Ri singles.

The GP is realizing R9 is never coming and there's one last stone that was unturned...

Such a cute song. It's not too memorable but still a lot of fun nonetheless. Lemme give it a listen.

Her mixtape era

In what context is the song being used?  Is there a challenge or dance? 

[istan4badgalriri]

The fact that it surpassed Pon De Replay in daily streams... didn't think this day would ever come

It's a dance and this is the TikTok that originated it:

 

 

[Truth Teller]

SUCH a cute song. Her first album is an overall demo disaster but the 3 songs that hit, HIT

 

We NEED that AGLM revival though. That album is filled with career highlights. Kisses Don't Lie is top 10 in her discog, SOS needs its justice as the precursor to all following Rihanna pop smashes, Unfaithful is a classic, Final Goodbye is one of her best ballads ever, Dem Haters is A+ reggae-influenced r&b, We Ride is a top-tier sunny day bop. I don't remember how the other 4 tracks sound but they were probably half decent too.

TABS 

[Emperial]

The biggest SMASH maker of all time

[rp662]

Well, I don’t like this song but congrats Queen.

Erm Music of the gods > A Girl Like Beyonce

 

Singles + rush, let me, title track, that la la all are mega bops and there are some cute ballads there

[Harsh2256]

Oh ofcourse. We need this album to reach 1b by hook or by crook. But I never understood why for a debut album def jam only had her release two singles and expected the album to sell... let me and rush next.

Yeah, MOTS could've had at least 2 more singles; so much wasted potential there. 

[Nightingale]

I always loved this song and wished it was more remembered so glad it’s getting its time to shine

[Zoe_]

I've seen so many shorts with this song playing.

[Ariel]

A classic

 

Always preferred this over Pon de Replay

Let Me was supposed to be the 3rd single they were gonna shoot a video for it in December that year, a shame that didn't happen

 

SOS was a surefire hit so that's probably why they changed their plans and quickly moved on to album #2 when they heard the song

[Johnny Jacobs]

It was always better than pon de replay 

 

[Movimento Perpétuo]

The song that I discovered Rihanna and one of her best bops ever

 

TABS!
