Is This Love That We’re Feeling For Rihanna’s Bob Marley Cover? Probably Not
Look, we completely agree with the fact that Rihanna has put out two fantastic summer singles in the past three months alone, but let’s not let her pop-music Midas touch get to her head, shall we? This cover of “Is This Love” pretty much defines the term “ill-advised”: it’s not well matched to her vocal strengths, and her semi-robotic persona combined with her not-very-on-pitch voice flourishes makes us wonder if what she’s actually “feeling” instead of love is a circuit-board malfunction.
