AM I SCARING YOU NOW?

Yes, Rihanna, yes you really are.

This video has gone a long way to turning me round on 'Disturbia' (from "this is OK" to "this might be really really great but holy shit her EYES")...

But the melodic sweetness plus electronic sugar glaze is exactly what helps deliver the song, since it's what makes the eeriness extra eerie ('cause it's sugar being eerie, not just the words); this is one of the songs of the year. (If it had been released last year would have landed somewhere between #8 and #15 on my singles list; right now is in my top four but we've still got five months of new material plus whatever I've missed.)
