The lead single from the Home soundtrack. Premiered today. Listen here: www.popjustice.com/songs/rihanna-towards-the-sun/I heard it on my local pop station (Hot 99.5) about 10 minutes ago on my way into work this morning. So this is definitely going to be getting airplay.

Sounds like Ellie Goulding mixed with Coldplay. Not here for this.

Hmm it sounds good. GIves me "Diamonds" vibe in some kind of gloomier, mystery way.

MUCH better than FourFiveSeconds, but not really single-worthy.

FFS is the lead from R8 and this is the lead from the HOME soundtrack, released a month after FFS. Rumour has it she's performing this at the Brits tomorrow

Rihanna did a concept album for the upcoming movie Home (originally was going to be released in 2014, but was pushed back to March 2015). This is the lead single from the soundtrack. "FourFiveSeconds" is the lead single to her upcoming 8th studio album.

I like it! I think the bridge is my favorite part. With more listens I can actually see this ending up as a RiRi favorite of mine. It's infinitely better than that abomination she released with Kanye West and Paul McCartney anyway.
She's so... adventurous this era musically though. lol

I actually love this. It reminds me of recent songs from Coldplay, Imagine Dragons and Bastille. And I LOVE the harmonies. It's really amazing how elastic her voice is; she's done so many sounds, and, for the most part, she never sounds out of place. I'm interested to hear more from the producers that did this.

Just listened to "Towards The Sun" for the 1st time and I think I like it ;) Not crazy over it yet, but I'm sure it'll grow on me; I see this song as huge grower like FFS. The verses are definitely my favourite part and she sounds so GOOD on them! The first time I heard the chorus, I didn't like it, but I was already jamming to it towards the end of the song, lmao. Oh and that BRIDGE! :'(

A bit unsure about this and the whole era seems a bit of a mess.. we'll have TWO albums by her, soundtrack and R8?

The soundtrack only has 3 new full length songs on it by her and it's a kid's animation film. It's not really the big deal everyone has been making it to be. I'm sure it'll pass relatively quietly. This is getting some airplay because it's a Rihanna song, but I doubt they're sending it to radio.

This is probably going to be an 'Ooh La La' situation: soundtrack single, cheap (but cute) music video, relatively low airplay, etc. I doubt it will hinder the new album.

I like this. It's pleasant. It's very 80s.

It definitely sounds like a soundtrack song. Nevertheless I like it and have already bought it adding it to the already massive collection of Rih classics :)

I love this! It's so much better than FFS. I wish this was the single that was getting the big promo push. I wonder if pop radio will latch onto it anyway.

"Ooh la la situation" definitely didn't help Britney but maybe this will do better
Performing this at the BRITs is, well bit of a waste of time, if you ask me

She can perform this at the BRITs, but at least do the chorus of FFS or something, lmao

But...what about FFS?! She does know that releasing You Da One a month after WFL caused it to flop right?
