Rihanna feat. Justin Timberlake "Rehab"

Se avete apprezzato canzoni come "What goes around... comes around" questo disco potrebbe rappresentarne il follow up, la continuazione, cantata però dalla reginetta delle Barbados, Rihanna.
"Rehab" (ascolta) riprende lo stile divenuto familiare quando a mettersi assieme nella produzione (e nella scrittura) c'è gente come Justin Timberlake e Timothy Mosley, ovvero uno dei Re Mida delle produzioni musicali, Timbaland. Atmosfere r'n'b molto melodiche con il classico riff che si ripete senza però stancare, in questo caso si tratta di una chitarra che diventa sempre più di sottofondo man mano che il brano avanza, per lasciar posto ad una base davvero ben fatta e con molti elementi che si riconoscono anche in altre canzoni di Justin Timberlake.
Niente da dire sul video (girato da Anthony Mandler), tecnicamente perfetto, con i giochi di luce e colori più appropriati, di quei video che si guardano solo per stare a fissare Rihanna che nel suo costumino verde ramarro riesce ad essere inguardabile oltre ogni limite, oppure per guardare Justin Timberlake che invece non ha cadute di stile, che compare anche nella canzone dicendo "Now ladies gimme that... Now gimme that... My ladies gimme that... Now gimme that..." con un tono di voce che potrebbe benissimo essere quello di Timbaland.

Ecco, tutto qui, un bel video, una canzone piacevole, direi anche due canzoni piacevoli visto la somiglianza dello stile tra la canzone di Timberlake e quella di Rihanna.

10.02.2008 UPDATE!
È notizia che Rihanna sia stata aggredita dal suo "compagno" Chris Brown, dopo alcune notizia confuse stando alle parole di TMZ riportate da questo sito:
As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face -- there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.
Contusioni, labbra e noso rotti, morsi su braccia e dita, la situazione per la cantante non sembra delle migliori, speriamo possa rimettersi in sesto al più presto e che i segni dell'aggressione possano sparire al più presto.

Testo | Lyrics

Baby baby
When we first met I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped in one with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock that spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow

And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to you
You don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you're the one to blame
And now I feel like....oh!

You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease

Damn, ain't it crazy when you're loveswept
You'd do anything for the one you love
'Cause anytime that you needed me I'd be there
It's like you were my favorite drug
The only problem is that you was using me
In a different way than I was using you
But now that I know it's not meant to be
I gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you

And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to you
You don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do you?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you're the one to blame
'Cause now I feel like....oh!

You're the reason why I'm thinking

I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease

Now ladies gimme that...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh

Now gimme that...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh

My ladies gimme that...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh

Now gimme that...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohohoh, oh, oh, ohh

Oh! You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what I get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door

Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked into rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I gotta check into rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
