Rihanna – We Found Love (Prod. Calvin Harris)

rihanna2

Our girl Ri keeps the content farm rolling on. As Loud expires a new record rises. “We Found Love” is a first taste of what we can expect from Rihanna’s new project due in November. The tune features Calvin Harris on the boards and it’s sound definitely signals Ri’s embrace of the latest crop of electro.

B3SCI TOP 50 SONGS OF 2011

blankfeintop50tracks

2011. What wasn’t to love? The rise of weirdo R&B, the fall of chillwave, the end of R.E.M. We started the construction of this list over a month ago. One truly epic and extensive Google spreadsheet later, we arrived at this Top 50. We sorted and sorted and sorted, listened through a TON OF STUFF, “traded jabs” on whether James Blake or Jamie Woon put on the tougher persona, etc. Thanks for reading and we hope y’all enjoy the list!
