Nick Seaver: Rihanna Study #2
This is another of my Pop Studies.
It’s definitely the most simple of them, and maybe one of the most successful. It’s just “Umbrella” sped up a little and played backwards. I’m not sure if the simplicity/success thing says more about the merits of simplicity or the limits of my compositional abilities…
In any case, I think it came out sounding gorgeous—still recognizably Rihanna’s voice, but in some alien language. I probably listen to this more often than the original track now.
Enjoy!
edit: not sure why the beginning of this got lopped off and replaced with a few seconds of silence, but just pretend it fades in nicely. Ah, isn’t that better?
