I am so wildly excited for this like I cannot handle it!
I wonder if it will get an hour deal at radio? Hmmm

Damn. This is great, but not happy about it ruining ANTI album chances. I'll give up on KIB as long as Needed Me is #1 urban and rhythmic lol and top 10 hot 100 I think that will happen with "Needed Me". Especially if there is a video released for it. It's selling and streaming very well and has been since "Anti" was released. This won't be a "Tidal" exclusive will it?

I doubt it's Tidal. Hope not.
I too think it will have at least a standard iHeart exclusive deal with hourly spins at Pop on Friday. It's kind of a big deal given how massive WFL was. Expectations are going to be high... but I'm thinking they'll deliver. I'm not expecting it to sound like WFL, though... I'm keeping an open mind.

Completely forgot that Calvin Harris is part of that Tidal "team" hmmmm and so is Rihanna... Maybe? Idk. Hopefully Taylor can sway him towards Apple Music

Everyone needs to stop being annoying about these damn exclusives. Release it everywhere for your fans and be done.

Wow, so April 29 will bring this, the new Florida Georgia Line single, and the new Drake album. That's a good day. And the new Zedd and Kesha collab. I'm afraid that'll get the short end of the stick out of everything D: They should push it till next week. I have been waiting for pop Rihanna so bad!! I'm afraid I might not like it as some Calvin sounds I don't like, but I've liked almost all of his singles since 2013 so I have hope Please deliver!

^shame on you for not liking pre-2013 Calvin It's not even that. Other than Feel So Close (which I think I liked at the time but not anymore), I didn't know of him EDIT: Just remembered WFL was released in 2011 (does not feel that long ago). Ignore my comment, so :)

So, I'm still trying to figure out this. I didn't see that coming and I was so confident that it was going to be the John Newman collaboration or the Ellie one, which John may or may not be involved on it as well. Gosh! Also, I can't believe that the info spilled by The Sun, which was compiled by the Daily Mail, a month ago wasn't a total bulls**t. I know Rihanna is from Barbados, so technically the 'big female US star' doesn't work here, but I dismissed this when I read about the possible Beyoncé collaboration. I mean, it's not that Calvin and Beyoncé can't work on a track together (I'd love if this indeed happens), but it's something surreal for me, despite both of them are on the same label, which is Columbia.
Also, is this being billed as a feature or a co-lead? The cover makes it seem like the latter since all of his single covers have explicitly said whether someone is featured or whether they shared lead billing with him. I have to be honest that I didn't see the cover when I made the thread and I wrote the feature by default. Anyway, aside the explanation you're giving which I agree, Rihanna's site is labeling this release as a co-lead, so I changed the title. I will modify if it turns out as a feature instead, but I don't think it's going to happen though. Fwiw, you should check out pre-2010 when you didn't know him. He was in his prime imo. Everyone should do this. The I Created Disco and Ready for the Weekend albums are still the best-to-date and underrated eras from him.

Also, I don't know if Peter Robinson from Popjustice knew about this all the time when he wrote about a possible Calvin/Rihanna collaboration some days ago.

Juan Carlos see this post for a somewhat conspiracy-theorist take on the matter. Not that I'm not looking forward to this*...but, Dylan's post above did make me suddenly think about things and go, "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." *With admittedly maybe some tempered enthusiasm, as nothing from Calvin post-18 Months has WOWed me all that much. Would love for that streak (such as it is) to break tho.

Yeah! I saw your post and I find very odd that Zedd and Calvin are releasing new tracks on the same day because of the Kesha situation. However, it should be noted that Calvin has been teasing his new single (re: 'soon' tweets) for a long time. Even, Columbia included a 'coming soon' release from him on its promo newsletter two weeks ago, which was later removed, so it was a matter of time that this was going to happen.

Well that wasn't what I was expecting! Very optimistic about this. However, I'm kind of bummed that "Kiss It Better" is now going to have a second Rihanna track to compete against! Really a third! No doubt Needed Me will be pulling a Truffle Butter.

No doubt Needed Me will be pulling a Truffle Butter. "A second Rihanna track to compete against" meant "Needed Me" and now "This Is What You Came For" vs. "Kiss It Better." I'm sad because I think both of the ones we've heard already are hits, and it's likely this one is too! :/

I'm so excited! Give me another jam that I will love for a long time (like WFL)! Everyone needs to stop being annoying about these damn exclusives. Release it everywhere for your fans and be done. So where all will this song be released? Only Tidal? Tidal and iTunes? They better not keep it only on Tidal! My luck says it will be released to Tidal only, and therefore it won't get a strong debut. >:(

So we're back to EDM Rihanna. I'm not a huge fan of We Found Love, but I'm anxious to check this out.

I'm excited too but I think you guys are overhyping this. This has potential to be great, but it also has potential to feel like a cheap attempt at past glory (and we already have "Where Have You Been" for that anyway).
On a smaller scale, Benny Benassi & Chris Brown released a global dance smash in 2011 called "Beautiful People" and have just teamed up again on a song called "Paradise"- which follows a little too closely in the original's footsteps and as such feels instantly dated.
I'm just saying we should cool our jets until we hear it.

I never go into a song having high expectations because when I do, I usually get let down. I do have high hopes though. I am expecting this to not be the great, but hey, who knows?

I'm just saying we should cool our jets until we hear it. True. But what gives me hope is that Calvin has repeatedly stated how he's offered many songs to Rih but she continued to decline stating that the follow-up to We Found Love (excluding WHYB) would have to be just as good if not better...to her. So that leads me to believe that this will be really good if she took the time to record it, and better yet, gave him the authority to release it as a single in the middle of her own era. Also, why is everyone assuming this will be your generic edm dance track? I highly doubt Rih would be behind recording it and having it released if that were the case.

I think that will happen with "Needed Me". Especially if there is a video released for it. The video has been out for like 2 weeks now... Also, #justiceforKIB but I think I will like this.

I think it's somewhat of a given that KIB isn't going to set Pop radio totally on fire. It may end up doing alright, but it's not the mega smash at the format that she could really use right now to re-engage her dance pop fanbase and get major spins in the process.
Plus - it's song of the summer season just around the corner. This could be a major contender if it hits the big time.
