Shortly after the Billboard announcement that he’s now signed to Warner Bros. exec Lyor Cohen’s new “content company” 300 Entertainment, Eric Belligner drops the K2-assisted cut “Rihanna,” a doo wop-esque, slow jam so auto-tuned and finger-snapped-up, it sounds like something T-Pain would dream up in concept and sound, but the groove is infectious, nonetheless.
Bellinger’s deal with Cohen will give him the major push and distribution that he currently lacks.
About the new partnership, Bellinger tells Billboard, “300 will be the umbrella; they have so many resources that we can plug into. Lyor told us, ‘We really like 'I Don’t Want Her' — you just need help pushing it. That’s where I come in.’ Nieman and I are still going to push YFS, signing artists as well as other writer/producers,” he says about his own label, which isn’t going anywhere.
“Rihanna” by Eric Bellinger featuring K2 is a smooth and catchy R&B track that pays homage to the iconic singer while celebrating the allure and beauty of a captivating love interest. Bellinger’s silky vocals effortlessly complement the infectious beat, creating an irresistible groove that draws listeners in from the start.
The song’s lyrics are an ode to the object of Bellinger’s affection, comparing her to the incomparable Rihanna with her irresistible charm and magnetic presence. Bellinger and K2 trade verses and harmonize seamlessly, delivering a message of admiration and desire for the woman who has captured their attention.
“Rihanna” is characterized by its laid-back production, featuring mellow instrumentation, subtle percussion, and a catchy melody that sticks with you long after the song ends. The smooth rhythm and infectious hook make it a perfect choice for late-night drives or intimate gatherings.
Overall, “Rihanna” is a captivating and upbeat R&B anthem that showcases Eric Bellinger’s talent for crafting catchy melodies and memorable hooks. With its infectious groove and catchy lyrics, it’s a song that’s sure to leave listeners swooning and hitting the repeat button for more.
