Friend of mine is a fun upbeat song so it was a better fit for the Smurfs I guess

Its barely a music 

Well.

Looking at the box office, this movie is going to bomb bomb. Best to not put too much promo on this, either way it doesn't sound great so it's better it's all forgotten like FOM 

so yeah we have to watch the movie to hear the song i guess, good marketing on smurfs part cause who's watching smurfs movie in 2025

And what kind of marketing was releasing one of the worst songs in history as the lead single from the soundtrack?

i was referring to Anyone but  

This is probably coming soon cause the soundtrack album now shows up when you search "Anyone" on Spotify

 

But they're dumb for not releasing it today, now that the film is in theaters 💀

So why do i think (after hearing this) she's used AI for some parts of this song? And also for Friend of Mine...

Almost makes me wonder if she maybe lost her voice... remember this clip from late 2024?
 

 

She doesn't sing anymore - i think she was vocally at peak around Anti and you could definitely see the growth from her debut on that album - but the voice is a muscle and we know there is no way she is singing/practicing/etc. nearly as much as she was doing when she was churning out an album a year.

you can tell her voice changed...I wonder what happened. Iʻm sure multiple pregnancies impacted her voice, but thereʻs something else going on too...

So is it scrapped 

Before recording, artists do some prep and commit to a lifestyle and habits that protect their voice, plus vocal training etc. Rihanna obviously hasn't done any that in years and just randomly hopped in a booth they set up for a sec in her mansion and sang into a mic for 20 minutes. They just don't have much to work with  she should have never committed to making music for this gig if it wasn't gonna be done professionally because it's just embarrassing for her legacy right now

She is busy being avon lady not training her voice what did yall expect

Haven't seen anything but praise for her vocals on this track on Tik Tok/X/Insta, what's wrong with y'all 💀 and who in their right mind would think this sounds like AI… the desperation for this narrative that she lost her voice to be real and the receipt being an impromptu, drunk karaoke session 😭

After 10 years without a reasonable excuse, the voice theory is, becoming more and more believable 

Y'all are being so dramatic. She sounds like herself on both of these songs.

Not sure what this proves she sounded exactly the same when she did Needed Me live in 2016
