Rihanna featuring The-Dream “Hating On The Club”
Rihanna and her “Umbrella” songwriter The-Dream prove their golden pop chemistry still stands on their newest collaboration “Hating On The Club”, a future radio dominator that slides with ease into the ears with it’s playful hand claps, relentless drum thump base and tinge of doo wop air, not to mention it’s involving of another successful dose of single-syllable stutters.
“Now this will be the last time you did me wrong/ No more laying up in your arms,” Ri-Ri snaps. But this isn’t some hard-as-nails anti-guy anthem, it’s celestial synth washes and pretty piano touches instigating a far more sentimental affair. Hit with the grapevine gab that her beau was seen smooching with another gal outside a nightspot, her initial anger-fueled instinct is to start packing bags, but that immediate stint of ire just as soon dissolves into an epic emotional breakdown, leaving her lashing out not necessarily at her philandering man, but instead at the club, for being the crux that so suddenly snatched all her “happily ever after” dreams away.
“There’s only one reason why we’re apart/…If it wasn’t for the club I’d still have my love,” she, somewhat foolishly, reasons through her tears and stiff “Oh-Oh” android-whimpers.
Damn Rihanna, we were kinda looking forward to finally falling out of love with you and your oh-so-perfect pop-crafting ways in this new year, yet your dumbfounding hold over us remains.

Peep cuts from her newest release, Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes, below:
I’m not even sad to admit that i like her now. When Good Girl Gone Bad came out, I had to listen to it on low when i was in the car. Kinda embarrassing. Now, i don’t even care. It simply amazes me how she gets the most out of her tiny range of talent. Rihanna’s music is like a Whopper hamburger. You know it’s bad for you, eventually it’ll give you a heart attack. But you still eat it up anyway.
^^^Thashyt, funny, but true. It’s like you hate to love her sometimes. But yeah, I do love this track. I have played it almost 30 times in the past week because the beat is great, and her voice soars all over the track. The-Dream and her might be the match-made in heaven because their chemistry seems undeniable
Lol….i love this track, if i’m not mistaken…this is her best vocal thus far…..i’ve been playing and re-playin it, its simply genius! I dunno if i’m the only one hearing it but it seems to have a slight similarity to “Suicidal, (beautiful girls)” by Sean Kinston……Anyhow, well done ri-ri. According to #1’s analogy…..i’m well on my way to that “heart-attack”. lol
Rihanna is so cool! i really really like her songs! And this new track of hers,”Hating on the club” rocks! Good girl gone bad is so cool!
