FlopSlurper 34,336 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The instrumental is the only good thing about this song Does anyone happen to have it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkTheFunk 124,180 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hands down the best song on the album and probably one of the best songs of the year... but 99.9% of the credit goes to Tame Impala Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Parker gives off a consisting 60s/70s Psychedelic nature. To be clear, this post is not an attempt to invalidate the original. It's truly a toss-up which one I prefer (Rihanna's female vocal gives it the edge, but aesthetically there is such little difference between the two). But you are absolutely right... Kevin's vocal gives it a psychedelic vibe, which is more understated in Rihanna's version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEWRJEWR 5,663 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I only like the original. I'm not here for this cheap karaoke version sorry. Fear, she's the mother of violence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's a cheap karaoke version with great vocal effects layered on top. Since it's not a hard song to sing, it works. Rihanna sounds divine to me!

yxi 4,999 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I love the original but i'm not a fan of Rihanna's version. I don't get the point of covering a recent song if you sing exactly like the original and bring nothing new to it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsARTPOP 139 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It is really good. It sounds just like the original version. I wonder why she covered it in the exact same way though? I do love it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I prefer Rihanna's cover. Just like I prefer Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You." I didn't know both were covers until someone pointed it out. They pinned them well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
