New Music: Rihanna debuts new single, ❝Lift Me Up❞ (Review) ♫♫
The wait is over. Rihanna's new single ❝Lift Me Up,❞ lifted from the ❝Black Panther: Wakanda Forever❞ soundtrack, has finally arrived! The cut was written by Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson, who also produced the song. Rihanna ballads are pretty iconic. But where does ❝Lift Me Up❞ rank among them? Let's put it this way, Rihanna certainly understood the assignment with this minimalist pop ballad, complete with starry Spanish guitar riffs, and a raw, heartfelt vocal. More to the point, the vocals are certainly vocalizing! After not releasing solo music or touring for over 6 years, this has enabled Rihanna's voice to not just mature and produce growth, but to become more crisp and clearer than ever before.
Maybe the song will grow on me.
ReplyDeleteIts a nice track. Strong vocal performance, but kind of plods along a bit. Lacks dynamics or any standout lyrics or production. Id put it on the same level as Spirit and Be Alive. Pleasant overall, but distinctly unmemorable. In 5 years time people aren't going to be talking about it or performing it on the Voice.
ReplyDeletePretty….but cant help but wonder what it would sound like in the hands of Xtina…
ReplyDeleteDon’t know why but it just made me laugh 😂 Remi
