Roc Nation team mates, boyfriend and girlfriend, both have dominated the UK charts..A collaboration made in heaven you would think - Kinda wrong. Rita and Calvin's personal involvement doesn't transfer to the track as it once did for their boss and Beyoncé on 03 Bonnie & Clyde. Calvin's trademark, anthem permissive beats aren't to be seen, with a more toned down approach leaving Rita's upbeat vocals to try and lift the track. It works for a while but it gradually wears off and all gets a bit boring after 2 minutes.
It should work, we want it to work, it could have been the soundtrack to our summer, but instead it's a bit like a firework that fizzes out before it reaches the highs of the skies:
That said, there's nothing out there to substitute it yet and Calvin's seemingly invincible when it comes to the sounds of summer, so everyone will still settle for this love affair - Even if it does let us down a little bit.
Released: May 11th 2014
