The album version is supposed to feature Rihanna, but apparently PCD was on the track first. The PCD version leaked today.
The synergy shows. Another surefire single comes from an unexpected source: a 40-year-old Jamaican jingle that was remade by pop act Blondie in 1980. "'The Tide is High'" is an idea that I lived with for a few years, "Kardi recalls. "I wanted to deliver a single that you could play in the dirtiest dancehall club in a raw corner of Jamaica as well as a Hollywood socialite hangout. That's what "The Tide is High" is, something people can relate to for a lot of different reasons." Hmmm, one such reason? The knee-buckling, pulse-quickening hook sung by Caribbean queen Rihanna.
