I like it! But I don't really get all these features with Paul McCartney w/ out him even singing. It just seems kinda tacky to me, but great song though! This is a way big difference from her previous stuff. I wonder if this is the single they will push to radio to just a buzz single.

Paul McCartney & Kanye would be interesting, if the two didn't release a collob two weeks ago.... Bizarr-o.

As a single, hell no. But I f*cking love it. This gets me even more excited for a (hopefully different) lead single coming very soon!

Hmm. I like the idea of her on this type of song, I'm just not sure I'm crazy about the actual song because the lyrics are a mismatch to the sound...the words call for a turn-up but the acoustic vibe sounds like everyone involved smoked some j and are way too chill to wild out on anything but a bag of Doritos. I think it's a grower though; I am already liking it a bit more on the second listen than I did on the first.
Her voice sounds great on the verses and hook. The bridge has quite a few moments where you can hear her pushing her limits, but she doesn't go too far.

I was not expecting this. I could see this being a big hit. Right now I like it and it grows on me more with each listen.

lool it's literally voices over a guitar riff. hmm All I can say right now is that the chorus is pretty powerful. catchy and melodic!!
chorus is stuck in my head after only one listen. unfortunately the verses are def not.
It's not as bad as some people say it is... maybe, hopefully a grower

I think this will be surprisingly big. I like it a lot, actually. Was not expecting it at all, obviously, but it's good.

This is a bold move as a lead single for Rihanna or any pop star. Although by "a taste" tweet, it seems to suggest it's more of a feature teaser.
I love it. Put the right campaign behind this and it has the potential to be big.

This will do well out of the gate b/c it's Rihanna. I don't know that I see it having that much longevity, though. Curious to see what she'll have for urban this go around, because I don't see her abandoning that format but this definitely isn't going to do anything there.

Maybe this is the new 'sound' for pop music.

I've tried, but I hate it. Definitely not interested if this is the direction her album is going to go.

This is probably just for that joint Paul x Kanye album that they were talking about or another cause since it's not under GOOD or Island Def Jam.

I enjoy this more than I should, but on a personal note I'm just not interested in an album full of this sound. I actually don't mind the mishmash created by the lyrics and the music. It gives the notion of going out to forget a far more practical, or rather relatable application-- you're not always partying because you're happy, but because you wish you were? That's what I got, anyway.
Of course, by all convention this should've had a beat I could go off to, and I'm kind of disappointed it doesn't, but whatever. I'll f**k with this.
I'd also like to go on record and say that her vocals are great (for her). This is no 'Diamonds', thank god.

I don't know who this Paul McCartney is, but what a way to kick off a career between the Kanye collab and now working with Rihanna!

This is probably just for that joint Paul x Kanye album that they were talking about or another cause since it's not under GOOD or Island Def Jam. But "Only One" is being promoted by GOOD/Def Jam, and it was a Def Jam press release that announced the collaboration for Kanye's upcoming album... Based on Tweets, it looks like this is getting hourly play from some Hot AC and some pop stations. Not sure which format is making the bigger commitment today though.

But "Only One" is being promoted by GOOD/Def Jam, and it was a Def Jam press release that announced the collaboration for Kanye's upcoming album... That's why I said for another cause. They released that they had worked with her for the collaboration. This is only DISTRIBUTED by Roc Nation but also through her personal company. So it seems she may be "independent" with Roc Nation distributing her music via their network.
