Rihanna To Release Klaxons Collaboration?
At last week’s Brit Awards, one of the many highlights was the collaboration between Rihanna and Klaxons.
The two artists, whose styles vary wildly, made a mashup of Umbrella and Golden Skans work as if the songs had been written in unison, and were always meant to go together.
Now, Rihanna has expressed an interest in releasing the collaboration as a single. She told BBC 6Music (reported here via Digital Spy):
“[It was] really different, very cool, unexpected. But when I hear it, I just want to hear it more. It makes it so much more rock and roll.
“It’s a different tempo and everything. But I actually want to release a version like that. Maybe the same version. I really, really liked it.”
Here is the video on YouTube, although it’s likely to be taken down quickly due to copyright claims, so watch it while you can…
I had mixed feelings about the original Umbrella, loving it at first but ending up hating it after hearing it everywhere I went for 3 months, and having it sit at number one in the British singles charts for the same period of time. But I have to admit to liking this version a lot.
If it ever were to get a proper release, I think I’d buy it. It’s faster, more adrenaline fuelled, and just much superior to the original.
