After 100 weeks as the UK’s number 1 single with Umbrella, the general public should know who Rihanna is by now. Let’s face it, Umbrella has been the soundtrack for this summer.

In contrast to the smooth R&B of Umbrella, Shut Up And Drive ramps up the distorted guitars and we end up with an infectious fusion of rock and pop.

If you’re expecting as strong a track as Umbrella, don’t. This is good, but I have to agree with the team at Urban Review:

This Rock tinged track has some simple, unfortunate, pop inspired lyrics, but looking past that is a hot single that should do well. It’s not my favourite track from the album but will serve Riri well as a second single.

I don’t know who the hell is doing makeup and wardrobe on these videos for Rihanna, but she looks her absolute best when she’s cute and girly. Some of the hairstyles and clothes they give her are ridiculous. Yes, that includes those ridiculous oversized shades…
