Rihanna: 'Disturbia'

Let's be honest, Rihanna could cover Steps' '5,6,7,8' on the penny whistle and she'd probably still reach No.1 at the moment. If the Barbadian beauty so much as gets a haircut, she's front page news. She's so blinking hot right now that she can even duet with sterile trad-rockers Maroon 5 without losing her credibility. Quite frankly, it's a little bit astounding.

As the seventh release from her colossal Good Girl Gone Bad LP, 'Disturbia' should by rights be a plodding, predictable piece of filler. Amazingly, this isn't the case. Probably one of her strongest releases, 'Disturbia' is a fun-packed electro treat filled with sizzling beats and crazy vocal effects. If the "bum-bum be-dum bum-bum de-bum bum" intro doesn't hook you, her catchiest chorus since 'Umbrella' will surely do the trick. An impressive release that proves Rihanna is ruling '08 much like she did '07.
