Rihanna, Diamonds

Robyn Rihanna Fenty is better known as Rihanna and she is a young 24-year-old girl from Barbados, who's is not only a singer but also a songwriter and occasionally actress.

She is known for big hits like the earliest Pon De Replay, Umbrella, Disturbia or the most recent Man Down, California King Bed or We Found Love from Calvin Harris.

Since the beginning of her career around 2005, she released a new record almost every year: Music of the Sun in 2005, A Girl like Me in 2006, Good Girl Gone Bad in 2007, Rated R in 2009, Loud in 2010, Talk That Talk in 2011 and Unapologetic in 2012, besides two compilations and two remixed albums.

Unapologetic is set to be released tomorrow, on November 19th, through Def Jam Recordings.
In terms of sound and instruments, this record can be described as something between pop, dance and occasional R&B influenced by such different genres like hip-hop, electro house and dubstep.

On November 14, and to promote her seventh record, Rihanna prepared a seven-date promotional tour named 777 Tour - where she is going to play seven shows, in seven different cities in Europe and North America for seven days, counting with 150 journalists from 82 countries traveling in a Boeing 777.

Diamonds is the lead single of Unapologetic, released on September 26 and it was written by Sia Furler in collaboration with Benny Blanco, Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen.

The song is clearly different from the last Rihanna upbeat and fast singles. Diamonds is a pop ballad with a few touches of soul and even electronic music. This song also resembles a few moments of Rihanna's life with the "unhealthy relationships" topic or at least some unsolved part of her life, where you can capture some despair in her voice and this lyrics.

The video was directed by Anthony Mandler and showing off a Rihanna in very dreamy and extraordinaire scenes, in four different environments representing the four elements - earth, air, water and fire. The video received positive critics for being so unique, romantic and with a big element of dream.

After all, we all get caught up in between because this song is not only so different, so outside her usual but at the same time it gets so personal, so deep.

"Find light in the beautiful sea 
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky"
