SONG OF THE MOMENT - MAN DOWN

RIHANNA's 'Man Down' from her 'Loud' album has been on repeat in my mind and on my ipod for the past week. I find myself suddenly bursting out singing "Rom po po pom pom po po pom rom po po pom man dooown!" or "why did I have to pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom" at the most inappropriate moments. It's like the song has rooted itself deep in my delinquent brain. The lyrics have become a sort of mantra to me. They escape from my mouth while I'm in the shower, eating, reading and even while listening to other songs. 


However, until lately, I've not been a big fan of Rihanna ever since her stupendous 'Good girl gone bad' transformation. One cannot but consider whether her encounter with the beast in Chris Brown was the basis for this transition from the 'good girl' to the 'bad girl'.


Right now I am really feeling her 'Loud' album. When 'What's my name' was released, I joined the countless others who feverishly belted out the lyrics of the song on repeat. I'm loving how she is giving us a taste of her roots by adding that Caribbean vibe to her songs. 


'Man down' is most definitely my favourite track from the album.


Here's to hoping that Rihanna doesn't make another totally confusing image revamp. 


It's one thing to try to keep us guessing but it's another when we're totally lost!
