Rihanna soothes her companion in “Umbrella” by promising to be there for him in good and difficult moments. Yes, the umbrella serves as a symbol of her moral support.

“100 Yard Dash” is a fast-paced two-minute and 18-second song about a man whose life is flipped upside down by a woman. The song’s classic design would fool a listener into thinking it was 50 years old. Rather than sounding like a cheap imitation, Saadiq authentically recreates the Motown sound.

The song only reached number 94 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but don’t let that detract fr...
If you were watching MTV or B.E.T. in 2003, you probably heard this R&B song several times. “Girlfriend” by B2K was the song that permitted youthful eligible bachelors worldwide to proudly proclaim that they were looking for a relationship.

With this heart-wrenching pop-reggae gem, Londoner Allen solidified her prestige as one of the decade’s most new and refreshing pop stars. When she sings, ‘At first when I see you cry / Yeah, it makes me smile,’ her candy-coated vocals only add to the sting of the lyrics. It’s certainly the one play after a heartbreaking separation.

Although “S.O.S.” is one of Rihanna’s best songs, we believe it is one of her most underappreciated. It’s the danceable lead single fromA Girl Like Me, and it tells the story of a girl who falls deeply in love. The masterful sonar sample from Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” on the other hand, suggests there’s more to it than meets the eye. Rihanna’s lo...
