Rihanna – ‘Diamonds’

We could go into a lot of detail here about how this is the perfect song for Rihanna at his point in her career, how the Sia influence drips from every syllable, how it sounds immediately classic but fiercely modern. We could mention the Lana Del Rey-meets-'Rated R' feel. We could say all sorts, but as if you're going to read any of that before you hit 'play' below.

We could just post 'blah blah blah' for two paragraphs followed by the word 'BEHOLD:' and you wouldn't even notice.

Blah blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah  blah blah blah blah.

BEHOLD:

EDIT: The embed code's gone now but you can listen here or buy on iTunes if it's been released in your 'territory'.
