Shine bright like a diamond.
Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We’re like diamonds in the sky
What are diamonds? Unbreakable, highly refractive, crystalline forms of colorless carbon? Pieces of jewelry? Or simply a girls best friend? Answer: All of the above. But there is one that the dictionary doesn’t currently list. Pop diva Rihanna‘s lead single from her seventh album: “Unapologetic“.
Diamonds is a mid tempo pop song with soul and electronic elements. Rihanna, herself, describes it as laid back and hopeful, yet hippy and happy.
The music video depicts the sultry singer in four environments that represent the elements of earth, air, water and fire. According to a statement posted on MTV.com, Rihanna states:
“With every song, it’s a different story and that world. With Diamonds, it was just a series of vignettes that we put together to help get the emotions across throughout the song. It changes as it builds. You just want people to feel that, and I wanted little cutaways of interactions that would give you the right emotion.”
Talk about a melodic emotional rollercoaster.
Well, it’s official!!! Diamonds proves to be another hit for the Barbadian-born bombshell. A remix featuring Kanye West was also released on sound cloud and iTunes . If you fail to pick this up, many of the current happy listeners will be “Unapologetic” of what you’re missing out on. Don’t be an out cast. Get it while the getting is good!!!!
