I keep hearing about this Rihanna lady and I guess I’ve heard a song or two, but I never really paid much attention. Can’t say that this will necessarily change that, but it’s a pretty damn good step in the right direction. I’m hard pressed to think of a more terrific song to sample (with a sort of not terrific name that’s actually still kind of terrific) than the lead track from The xx’s eponymous debut album, “Intro.”
The Rihanna track is called Drunk On Love and there’s short little clip that’s worth a listen. I don’t love it, but I far from hate it.
