Rihanna f/ Jay-Z - "Umbrella"

[Eu]

Mmmmmmmm, Nu Ashanti!

Ashanti had released 3 album (not including the Xmas and the hits/remix ones) in three years, and then you know how.....

Interesting to see Rihanna will do.......... but Umbrella? What a funny title! LMAO!

Don't worry. They're not.

I have a feeling that "umbrella" is a euphemism for something sexual.

[eljefro]

It will probably be #1 on Itunes within a day whenever it's released...LOL

[Bunifa Latifah Jackson]

UMBRELLA? W T F ?!

At this route, she'll have a GREATEST HITS by November

[Love Plastic Love]

Is this...confirmed???

[Bunifa Latifah Jackson]

Yes, apparently. Gosh, Umbrella? This should be a JOKE! damn, 'Umbrella'?

[MusicJunkie]

Radio loves Rihanna. I didn't think they'd give her a hit soon after 'We Ride' flopped, then 'Break It Off' almost broke top 5.

If this as catchy as her other singles, she'll score another smash regardless of the title.

LOL! They're definitely going to suppress the downloads until people really, really want it.

I KNOW, Right!?

[tomasz77]

I don't know why but I like the title... It seems like it will be a fun song.

[vinyl]

I like the title.
It's not what we expected.

[popmusicaddict]

LOL, wow she nor her label is really that smart are they?

I'll guarantee this will flop/underpreform. I don't give a damn how much radio 'loves/loved' her. EVERYONES gonna be like 'new album..huh?!'. I bet 95% of potential music buyers will think this is from her current album and not even bother.

[Live Your Life]

People said that exact same thing about "SOS" and "Music Of The Sun".

[Diablo Cody™]

Umbrella = The next Milkshake?

We need a new innocent item turned into something dirty.

[dperkins]

^Like London Bridge?? haha

I have a feeling, knowing Rihanna, the lyrics will end being something like.

Umbrella-la-la-la-la

hahah

[Felicia]

It'll be a hit if the song is good. I don't think the general public are sick of her because she's not everywhere. 'Break It Off' didn't get a video and it decreased her visibility on TV.

Yeah, why do you think they're pushing her so much. Beyonce wants that b***h out of her contract and gone from Def Jam... ASAP.

The song is premiering today. From Billboard:

Rihanna Unveils Jay-Z-Assisted 'Umbrella'
March 29, 2007, 12:45 PM ET

Mariel Concepcion, N.Y.

Def Jam recording artist Rihanna will debut her new single, "Umbrella" featuring Jay-Z, today at 5 pm ET. The C. Tricky Stewart-produced track is the first single from the singer's as-yet-untitled third album, due June 5.

The album is the follow-up to Rihanna's sophomore set, "A Girl Like Me," which featured hits like "S.O.S." and the Ne-Yo-penned "Unfaithful." The album, which reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, earned the Barbados-bred singer four top honors at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards, including female artist of the year and female pop artist of the year.

Rihanna's 2005 debut, "Music of the Sun," peaked at No. 6 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and featured tracks like "Pon De Replay," which topped out at No. 2 on the Pop 100.

From AP:

"It shows such growth for her as an artist," Def Jam President Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z, told the AP. "If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she's come."

Jay-Z delivers the opening salvo on the dramatic song, about the strength of a relationship.

Rihanna said the song can be about a romantic or platonic relationship.

"`Umbrella' is a serious song, a relationship song. ... It's different, and that's what I love about it," she said. "People are not going to expect a song like that from me."

[Jennifa]

OMG! Excited!

[Felicia]

Ohhh it's going to be a ballad?

[britneyrules]

I'm gonna guess that Umbrella is about her and her boyfriend fighting and she leaves and its raining and she meets a new guy who gives her an Umbrella to keep her dry and she thinks about cheating on her man but runs back to her man out of fear of losing her and that she looks to the Umbrella to look on the day she almost lost her "Everything".

Just thinking outloud.

[vinyl]

I can't wait to hear it. :)

[Felicia]

I have a feeling this will be a very good song and a big hit lol. Hopefully.

[Retro-Physical]
