Diamonds definitely features one of Rihanna's strongest vocal moments to date.ĭespite the good things about Diamonds, overall it's just missing something to make it "single" material- a strong visual may just remedy that.
Her vibrato has also been improved somewhat, being spaced out better to eliminate that.well, goat like bleat that many dislike. There are strong midrange belts to be found littered throughout the song, and as it closes Rihanna impressively pushes her voice more stretching up into her upper belt and indulging in a little vocal gymnastics. Ultimately it offers a soft contrast to Rihanna's direct tone.Īfter you get over how different this sounds to any of Rihanna's other lead singles, the next thing you'll probably notice is the improvement in the vocal department (bar that annoying, repeated line "shine bright like a diamond" spoken over the chorus).
The production, provided by Benny Blanco, sounds simple and understated but it's a multi layered affair, with elements weaving in and out as the song progresses- my favourite being the Arabesque strings. Rihanna called the Sia penned track "hippy" and "happy" and though that might be the case lyrically (it's a love song after all) musically, it has a surprisingly sombre mood.
