Shakira - Loca (feat. Dizzee Rascal) 3/5
Shakira moves beyond She Wolf, with 'Loca', a salsa infused hip shaker featuring a bold choice in MC Dizzee Rascal, a welcome change from atypical American rappers. 'My Hips Don't Lie' it is not, but it is catchy, latin dance-pop, and that's rarely a bad thing.
Rae Spoon - We Can't Be Lovers With These Guns On Each Other 3.5/5
Calgary's Rae Spoon can be found climbing CBC Radio 3's top 30, with thumping drums and subtle electronic elements, this garage rock track is heavy on a hooky chorus. It's only a matter of time before Grey's Anatomy and every other television series are picking apart Spoon's latest disc, Love Is A Hunter for gems like this.
Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) 4.5/5
Leaked
Ditching Jay-Z for Euro glam, Rihanna makes a comeback of sorts, though she never really left it's a return to Good Girl Gone Bad form. Rihanna seems to have switched to an Ace of Base heavy dance-pop diet, guaranteed to be rocking dancefloors from Bangkok to Halifax to Milan, it's a transcontinental hit. Period.
Sky Ferreira - Obsession 1/5
While her European single 'One' is quirky enough to capture our curiousity, Ferreira's North American single 'Obsession' plays to the lowest common denominator... forgettable... you're really not missing much.
Ruby Coast - Creep Me Out 4/5
