There’s a new song by Rihanna that I like called Umbrella. You can watch the music video: Rihanna – Umbrella. I thought the tune was rather catchy and the beat was nice, though I didn’t particularly like the intro, as I’m not a big fan of rap. The ella, ella, eh, eh is especially catchy.

Here are the lyrics (from metrolyrics) (Show):

Anyway, the radio stations around here has been playing a remix of the song Umbrella and has inserted a guy singing You can be my Cinderella. I thought the newly added lyrics fitted well with the original song, though I think they still had some cutting/editing problems as the song had some parts that didn’t flow too smoothly. You can listen to the music in this video: Rihanna ft. Chris Brown- Umbrella/Cinderella (with lyrics). The video is just a collage of images.

Here are the lyrics (from metrolyrics) (Show):

When I first showed this song to RayAlome, he was commenting on how slow the song was. Apparently he has been listening to the Lindbergh Palace Remix, which is like twice or thrice the speed of the original. Not a bad remix either, as the beats are nice. When the song first started playing, the first few words of ella, ella, eh, eh, eh was really fast and having been told by RayAlome that he was accustomed to listening to the song a 3x the speed, I was totally expecting chipmunks. However, the voice sounded normal through the song. I was wondering if they had Rihanna sing fast for the remix and RayAlome said she must’ve. Cause when you increase speed, the pitch gets all messed up. There was also the Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Radio Edit which is also beaty. Not sure if I like that one yet. Both songs are available on her Umbrella CD.
