Rihanna / Cold Case Love
So Rihanna took a bit of a beating but now she's back and surprisingly better than ever. Cold Case Love is the track everyone's been waiting for where Rihanna wears her heart on her sleeve and let's us all in on the doomed relationship that was her and Chris Brown. Veering away from what cynics may predict to be an all out 'diss', Cold Case Love is instead a dignified and well observed portrayal of a failed relationship. Penned by Mr. Justin Timberlake himself, with him also featuring on production duties, this has to be one of Rihanna's most lyrically and sonically superior tracks to date. Clocking in at a mighty 6 minutes and 5 seconds, Cold Case Love contains a host of different sounds as it begins with a modest opening of organ chords and subtle beats, until in come some beautiful orchestral flourishes which gradually build up until we are suddenly hit with a barrage of heart-pounding and truly Timberlake-styled beats complete with beatboxing...if that wasn't enough Cold Case Love reaches its thrilling climax by the means of an epic guitar solo - it really is packed. Rihanna's vocals also deserve special mention as she proves that she can do more than belt out a few 'ellas' through her passionate and heartfelt delivery. This is the moment in which Rihanna affirms herself as a true pop artist who has style yet more importantly substance.
