Rihanna – Whipping My Hair

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.

Here’s the first piece of new music to surface post-Chris Brown beat down, and I like it. The production marks a more modern — not saying that this demo is for LP4, but it’s definitely getting warmer. It doesn’t hold a candle to ’s previous effort, Good Girl Gone Bad, but this change in direction is worth noting.

However, as far as demos go, “Whipping My Hair” is pretty darn impressive. It should lead to great things. Catch it below

What the hell? You posted it several days ago and already the track is on continuous loop to hypem? Are you intentionally trying to make people hate the trickery on this site…?

I’m not quite sure I like this song actually. It really sounds like a song Britney Spears would do and we don’t need a second one..!

I LOVE RIHANNA!!!

Shes amazing. She just has this attitude that no other female pop singer has right now. I mean yes, her stage attire is sometimes extreme, but shes fucking hot. When i saw her last year, the whole show in general was great. Her opener was awesome….is name is Tom Dobson. This kid has it all…he writes these great pop rock songs but what alot of people don’t know about him is that his favorite thing in the world is producing dance/hip hop songs for various famous artists. check him out if you have a sec. Besides all that, Rihannas show kicked ass..shes slammin.

This reminds me of J*Davey a lot, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as J*Davey is one of my favorite bands. But while I blast them on iTunes regularly, I can’t imagine them ever being played on top 40 or urban radio stations. “Whipping My Hair” is the same way: great song but it’s not a single.
