Rihanna new song 'Work' ft. Drake Song Lyrics & Song Review
:: Rihanna new song 'Work' ft. Drake Song Review ::
After a string of underwhelming singles and several momentum-killing delays, Rihanna's Anti, her first album in over three years, finally looks imminent. This morning the singer released a fourth single, “Work,” the follow-up to “American Oxygen,” which came and went with little fanfare last spring. If the first three duds signaled the end of RiRi's pop reign following her departure from her longtime label home, Def Jam, the new track has the potential to at least partly justify the gold crown on the album's cover.
Produced by Boi-1da and featuring a verse by frequent collaborator Drake, “Work” is an understated midtempo jam in the vein of Janet Jackson's recent “No Sleeep,” with a percolating beat, sinuous synth lines, and vocal samples stretched and pulled in a way that recalls Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's masterful production work on Janet's 1997 album The Velvet Rope.
Unfortunately, the song's hook consists of the “Towards the Sun” singer repeatedly bleating the title, her vocals a mix of slur and patois that renders the lyrics of the verses basically indecipherable. Which is a shame since they seem to be on point: “If I got right then you might not like it/You know I dealt with you the nicest.”

Yeah, okay
You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don’t give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I don’t wanna rush into it, if it’s too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I’m way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me, oh
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I’m sorry
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
How many more shots until you’re rollin’?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
