Rihanna has returned after keeping us waiting for six years and five months.
I’ve finally listened to her most recent single for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, and I adore it, despite my original assumption that Lift Me Up would be a Wakanda-themed push-up bra or contour kit.
Get ready to experience the following feelings as you listen to Lift Me Up, which our very own Tems co-wrote.
Doubt
We all like Rihanna, but we are also aware of Ms. Robyn Fenty’s propensity for lying. It makes natural to have doubts about whether she will actually sing on this tune given that she has been promising new songs since 2017. If you accidentally play Lift Me Up’s instrumental, the uncertainty could turn to heartache as you wait impatiently for the vocals to appear.
Apprehension and fear
As soon as the humming begins, dread and excitement follow. In the past six years. How does she sound right now? Still able to sing? Will the song fail miserably? Black Panther: Why? Will you have to defend your favorite online against others who refer to her as “The Mary Kay Lady”?
So many inquiries.
Shock
Rihanna’s song “Liffffft me up” has a good possibility of making you pass out. Although you were expecting the vocals, they nevertheless seem to appear out of nowhere.
Startled sobs
I understand, boo. I’ve also missed her.
You’ll start to lose your mind over how amazing the song is when Lift Me Up begins to swell with the strings and backup vocals. Tears will be shed for Rihanna’s comeback and improvement, the fact that the song truly slaps, and even more tears on the song’s reference to Chadwick Boseman.
Confusion
If it’s Rihanna singing or our sister Temilade, you begin to wonder while sobbing. It is impossible to listen to Lift Me Up without pausing to appreciate Tems’ songwriting and vocal contributions. Recall how we claimed that Tems and Rihanna were essentially the same artist? It’s confirmed by this song.
Happiness
Nature is healing and Rihanna has returned. Fuel shortage, farewell. Buhari the naughty guy, farewell. Hello, dropping Naira. To save us, our mother has returned.
