“Umbrella” is recognized as the most successful song of 2007 on the United World Chart -wikipedia-
United World Chart? That makes me think of kids in sub-Saharan Africa listening to the song and going:
“- Mommy, what is an umbrella-ella-ella?”
“- Thing white men use to cover their heads from the rain”
“- Mommy, are you taking the piss?”
Such is the power of pop music! Umbrella is a mammoth of a song (those drums). An unstoppable Frankenstein monster of a record and Rihanna is an inch-perfect, computer-designed woman, that sings the song with a mixture of boredom and passion that is simply irresistible.
The only ‘but’, the Jay-Z cameo -please stop using street nonsense raps in the intro of sweet female R & B songs-.
Thumbs Up. Surrender.
