Let’s see, we got to the chorus, we should have another two and a half minutes of video left. ![]() Some of that song’s atmospheric synths make a reappearance in “Diamonds” at the chorus, and they’re a nice, chilly touch. It’s produced by Team Rihanna newcomer but pop everyman Benny Blanco, and StarGate, who produced previous hit “Only Girl (In the World)”. The production consists of some 80’s sounding keyboards, and a soft drum beat for the verses. ![]() “Diamonds” is fairly restrained for a Rihanna single, and even drifts into balladry. Ri probably involves fewer mom jeans, though. They sort of resemble the Camry of pop music: safe, dependable, and sells like no other. ![]() I think I mentioned this when “Where Have You Been” came up in Billboard’s Songs of Summer list, but talking about Rihanna gets kind of tedious after awhile because while she doesn’t carbon copy herself that often, all of her hits come from the same “dance up whatever trend is big at the moment, make the chorus solid and the verses decent” mentality. Hm, there’s some video set-up before the song, we’ve got a moment here. What the? Did I just somehow blink and miss the song? I get that Ri’s hits are supposed to be fairly disposable, but there’s normally at least something to listen to.
