Higher

In figure skating, classical and other traditional music is often used because it pairs well with the sport, but pop music is no exception.

Rihanna’s “Higher” is crafted with a classic sound reminiscent of 1960s soul music and is built throughout on an intensely passionate melody.

The combination of vocals so passionate they could melt the ice and the beautiful dance of figure skating is a perfect match.

Apparently, it’s an unreleased track and can only be found on YouTube.

It’s a rare one.

Speaking of Rihanna, she usually gives off a mischievous, tomboyish, and energetic vibe, but in this song she comes across as purely girly.

It’s super cute, so give it a listen.

A mid-tempo R&B power ballad released by Rihanna in 2016.

Man DownRihanna39rank/position

Rihanna – Man Down

While it carries a touch of edginess, this is a song by Rihanna that, in terms of texture, stands as a high-quality track that has given rise to many classic hits.

Its strong name recognition has helped shape it into a work that many Japanese listeners can embrace, and its worldview—well-suited even to the cherry-blossom viewing season—is a key element of the piece.

Music Of The Sun

Music of the Sun, released in 2005.

This track features a sophisticated melody that blends R&B with a touch of Latin music.

Rihanna – Needed Me

This is a cheer song by Rihanna, who has secured a position of overwhelming importance in the mainstream scene and delivers a solid R&B-flavored sound.

It’s an upbeat track that’s also recommended for teenage girls as a song they’ll want to sing at karaoke.

Only Girl(In the World)Rihanna42rank/position

Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World)

It’s an unrequited love song by R&B singer Rihanna.

As the title suggests, she keeps pleading to be the only woman in your eyes.
