Pop Perspective: "Bitch Better Have My Money"
The Idolator editors review and rate Rih's new video out of 10.

When you woke up this beautiful Friday morning, you had absolutely no idea you’d be hearing a funky, pop ‘n’ souled-up reinterpretation of Rihanna‘s latest hit, but that’s just what Karmin have delivered with their “Bitch Better Have My Money” cover.

Everyone’s favorite hip pop couple, Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, have been free agents with no major label to tie them down for the past year, and they’ve never sounded so fun. (Check out their previous singles, “Sugar” and “Yesterday.”) Case in point: their rendition of “BBHMM,” which swaps out the dark trappiness of RiRi’s version for some sultry, old-school swagger.

We have to hand it to Karmin — somehow this absolutely works.

Give the pair’s take on RiRi’s summer hit a listen above, and let us know your thoughts on it below!
