Rihanna's not only a pop star, she's the human pop factory, churning out shit after shit non stop for what seems like forever. Her latest album Unapologetic certainly isn't her best effort, trying a little too hard to be a gangster. It does however have its own share of startlingly good music, such as Sia Furler penned mega hit 'Diamonds', the gorgeous stripped ballad 'Stay' and the 7 minute beauty 'Love Without Tragedy/Mother May'. Aside from the first two songs I just mentioned, there isn't a vast supply of single worthy material there, so the next single release was always going to be like picking crap from a selection box of crap.
'Right Now' feat David Guetta is one of the album's few dance tracks, but the quality misses the mark set by 'Only Girl (In the World)' and 'We Found Love'. It's repetitive, unimaginative and deflating. The dub step/electro dance breakdown after each chorus is generic and cheap, and Rihanna sounds like she can't really be arsed. It's far from her best song, in fact it's one of her worst, but it does come in at the end of a back catalogue of incredible pop music.
1.5/5
