My latest music obsession? Man down by Rihanna, I really like the song and I can't really explain why. But it really shows Rihanna's diversity (again), some criticizer say that it's great she shows that abuse is a problem. But others say she didn't need to revenge and that it was a wrong example... Anyway, I really love the song no Mather what the real thoughts behind it were. Read more for a other review.
Review from
Though it’s apparant Rihanna isn’t afraid to continue the discussion of domestic abuse (and we applaud her for that), we’re not convinced the song and the treatment for this video work well together. Being physically assaulted isn’t exactly “a sticky situation” as the lyrics indicate, and though RiRi sings “I didn’t mean to hurt him”, she very clearly was aiming to kill in the very first moments of the vid. In fact, “Man Down” is really about breaking a dude’s heart — not seeking revenge against your attacker.
