New Music: Ladies of Hump Day

Bringing you hump day treats with two new singles from ladies who know how to top the music charts: Rihanna and Ke$ha.

Rihanna new single – Diamonds  ( Click to listen)

Well this barbados beauty is really working hard. This is her newest single from what will be her seventh album in eight years. Diamonds is a song we probably will be hearing on the radio non stop for the next couple weeks, and not because it is good, but because it is Rihanna. I have only listened through once, but I feel like it is missing something. The lyrics are unimaginative and full of cliche similies and the beat is kind of a let down. I am sure that after a few more listens it will grow on me, but there are only so many ways we are like diamonds…

Ke$ha new single : Die Young

Ke$ha’s hedonistic style is something that most people mock and yet secretly enjoy jumping around to. What I like about this artist is that she understands her sound and it is so different that you can hear it bleed through and affect other artists. She has found a way to make music through her talk-singing and she celebrates who she is without apologizing. Die Young is a song that screams that sentiment from the lungs of the drunkest girl dancing on top of a bar.
