When it comes to musical acts today, Rihanna had struggled to find her footing as a serious act. That came well to fans with her hit Umbrella, but all she had really done were dance songs, and not branched out to a broader audience. That has shown well with ballads nicely, with Hate That I Love You, the third single from A Good Girl Gone Bad. her collaboration with soulful singer Ne-yo is one of the more soulful duets I've heard this past year, and shows a nice melodic tone the two share on the song. It shows she is finally trying to head in the right direction, and I hope it tries to work. I also hope she and Ne-yo should try to do another set of duets together.
