Dimitri Kechagias review: The ultimate pop icon and real antistar Rihanna seems to make the best decisions for the remixes that support her very danceable pop singles that actually are considered to be already classics. Actually Rihanna is one of the main vehicles that manage to make the EDM sound popular in USA market. Her new single is supported by 3 superstars in the EDM scene right now. First of all is the massive R3hab that never fails to impress with his explosive sound. Banging beats, rough bouncy basslines and hard hitting effects lead us on the two breakdowns that melancholic piano's, the exceptional voice of Rihanna and the huge euphoric synths will bring tears to your eyes without doubts.  His climax is rough, booming and maddening so expect the unexpected. R3hab at its finest form and shape to shake the WORLD. Firebeats from The Netherlands deliver their well known roughed up sound that combines progressive, electro, dirty dutch and nu rave elements as well. If the anarchic sound of Dim Mak records  is your sound this great remix has a bit of taste of that style. Huge breakdowns with very emotional piano, the heartbreaking vocal and full on euphoric synths. The cracking smashing climax will blow the weak speakers so take measures. Guy Scheiman from Israel is on board too. His version is progressive playful house with many surprising elements and strong trance influence, energetic to the maximum and even includes in contrast with the previous versions the full vocal track to sing a long from the first word till the last. The finest remix package for the beloved singer! The package includes the radio edits and instrumental versions as well. Love IT
