Rihanna is really on a roll.
Having teased and titillated with snippets of new songs ‘Dancing In The Dark’ and ‘Higher’, the Puma model has unwrapped another cut – ‘American Oxygen’ – in a brand new commercial.
Laced over an advertisement for NCAA’s March Madness (which airs March 17th), the song features in the 30 second spot which also sees the star “performing”.
What are you waiting for? Check out the latest taste of ‘#R8’ below…
here is audio(/video) of the new Rihanna song “American Oxygen” from her upcoming album — https://t.co/U4vKQhZPJK

After years of delays, it seems Ms. Fenty is playing no games in her bid to catch up to her competitors. The promo machine has been omnipresent.
Saying that, it’ll be interesting to see – once the buzz has subsided from all these brief snippets and endless magazine covers – whether the full tracks deliver.

Rihanna is coming for Beyonce’s crusty ratchet weave and those unevened bangs!! Queen better show us how it’s done!
there is no need to put other artists down to lift up your fav’s image 🙂 you are entitled to your own opinion but that was really unnecessary.
Rihanna can’t even Touch bey, in a physical fist to fist fight Bey would even destroy that B**** and u know it
Ummm, why were u and I Stand For “Talent” rocking matching avi’s in the last Rihanna post????
Beyonce be like, “MY NAME stay in these’s b****’s mouth.

How can she come for anybody with those horse vocals? She’s not even considered a female vocalist
to all Yall reading RIHANNA, how soon Yall forgot about Snippetyonceto with her 5349 snippets before the album. B****, snippets give the fans salads or soup before the main course.
i’m not hating but to me this era is going to flop real hard. with the atrocious messy advertising, silly snippets, try-hard new sound/music, it just seems to me that she is really trying hard to be different and bring something “new” with this new album. i’m not feeling any of it but i am looking forward to see what she has to offer in the end. get it together rih 🙁
I wouldn’t bet on that. This site is usually way off when it comes to Rihanna. I can still remember the ” flop quotes” when she released diamonds. How massively wrong TGJ was.
all the best to rih but we’ll just wait and see how it goes.
She shouldn’t have let kanye touch her album. It is a try hard. It’s not translating well because it seems very contrived. There’s nothing wrong with trying different things but this whole era seems forced and inauthentic. She was doing fine. If it ain’t broke dont fix it.
my point exactly! thankyou
I hated the EDM era and I predicted it would be the end of Rihanna. I still hate ” we found love” till this day. My point being just because we don’t like something doesnt mean it will flop. That’s why I like Bey, she is more my taste. But I still respect Rihanna’s hustle.
Aren’t you suppose to try hard? I’m so lost at all these haters with their biases opinions today. You guys were saying all this about unapologetic as well. For many of her albums. Yet she has several platinum albums. Four five seconds was suppose to be a massive flop yet it’s still sitting pretty at the top of iTunes. I just think you guys are running out of reasons to hate now. These vague reads are getting old.
Umm these new songs sound great… The problem is the fans. Sticking artist into their own box. All of what I’ve heard so far from rih this go round has been different from what her fans are use to and no one is open minded enough to give it a listen…. Well her urban fans aren’t open minded enough to listen
Isn’t the point to bring something new. Your statement is pressed and condescending. She won’t flop and you will be mad either way so …
But it’s not new girls like Tinashe do these visuals yet flop withoit label backing
Rihannas publicity is what makes ppl pay attention the music is nothing new
That’s why she works with a Team of popular at the moment writers instead of on her own
The phrase “trying too hard” suggests that someone is making an obvious attempt at impressing others in an inorganic manner. It isn’t synonymous to “working hard”. She’s trying to be something she’s not. Some might call it pretentious, others may see it as overcompensating. What’s wrong with this “try too hard” era? It reeks of desperation. Desperate for acclaim. Desperate for respect. Desperate for status. Desperate for relevance… Desperate for 20 grammy’s…
Stfu
Exactly stfu. Lost me at “trying to be something she’s not” as if you know exactly who Rihanna is.
This era is all over the place. I’m getting rebel heart T’s.. FFS is a nice song, but the era is handled in a very messy way.
The FVCKING IRONY! Should I remind you of fall 2013? ArtFlop?!
FLOP after FLOP after FLOP…
All the singles from Beyonce? Yeah we know stop reminding us…
What does Beyoncé have to do with this? It’s pretty obvious your king is trying for acclaim, trying waayyy harder than any real king would ever have to. Considering the vast amount of time she spent on this album, it sure is sub par.
Radio will eat it up. She sure has a good team. I wish the young R&B artist are offered more opportunities.
Wat will happen when radio stops playing her.? She is 27? She is getting older.
@rita ora…. you so stupidd. Madonna, 50’s, Jay Z, 40’s, a whole hostbof others that are still relevent way past 40. So your point is ridiculous.
What’s Rita Ora’s excuse?
Love it! This album is going to be so different and great. #AlbumOfTheYear #DontBelieveMeJustWatch
Lmao
These haters knw they gonna bootleg the album just cuz they dont wanna give the Queen her hard earned coins bt that’s OK, everyone deserves to hear good music; even you broke b******
I see Rihanna jotting them notes down from Mariah’s playbook and straight up aping the mess that the era of Me… I am Mariah was.
Another Snippet…
LMFAOOOOO
Kelly Prince wasn’t PLAYING!!!! She don’t PLAY on that microphone!!!
http://youtu.be/Ve1KeU7CWCQ
Wow, Kelly went the FUQ AWWWF! It’s a shame women like that don’t get no shine. That was amazing!
Snippetanna
Not sure about those other songs but this one sounds promising
These h*** just want something to twerk to. Let them hate.
This era is just too messy for me, but it will be interesting how this will turn out,i havent really connected to the song and all the snippets something i have never had a problem with when it comes to Rihannaa….but i wish her all the best
Kay no shade but Rihanna is giving me 2013 pre-selftitled Beyoncé tease. Hopefully she slays cause if she doesn’t the dragging-allthough i wont be apart of it-will be ruthless.
Whether the album does well or not she will be dragged on this site… her forehead is always fair game when all else fails
“Little by little…”… LOL what a mess! Who’s she tryna be this time???
I’m here for Rihanna no matter what, I still feel like she’s going to bring it with this album.
But Jay Z’s like, i’m not responsible for this s***, Kanye is…
http://tattletailzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/jay-z-sipping-tea-o.gif
HoT mess, this bleached Barbadian B**** is sloppy this era, she should have had a baby instead or something that would have been more productive

couldn’t find anything bad to say huh?
Written by: Candice Pillay, Sam Harris, Alex Da Kid, Robyn Fenty….
TROLL!
I really don’t know what to think of this era so far. I’m not saying that to mean anything negative. It’s just that after a first single from any Rihanna album, you usually have certain expectations. This era feels risky, and again, that’s not necessarily in a good way. What I expected from Rihanna was her to score #1 singles over the next 5 – 7 years (to be precise). I think she can easily obtain about 18/19 in total; however, there’s a shift taking place this era. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dooming her either! What I’m saying is that depending on what she brings to the table with R8, she’s either going to slow herself down or take off and breathe new life into her artistry for this era… and the one that follows.
So far my thought on her music:
Four Five Secs <<<<<<>>>>>
Dancing in the dark – Meh.
Higher <<<<<<<< (that 2nd clip) O_0
American Oxygen (potential)
Ooops, Towards the Sun >>>>>
Some of you are confused because you stay confused. Some of Rihanna’s songs are for her movie soundtrack hence the wide variety of sounds. She hasn’t confirmed if any of her snippet are for her album, so why don’t ya’ll just wait and stop all this speculating like you tend to do here on this wrong predicting site. You all never get it right with Rihanna. As always she will slay and you all will eat crow.
… Not sure why the arrows are going 2 different ways for 4/5, but that one I don’t care for!
Dancing in the dark and towards the sun are for a kids movie on a separate soundtrack. Hardly the album you want to go off of. Towards the sun is genius! Anywho when she drops this album it will do well and I guarantee all of you frauds saying that this era sucks, or coming up with these scientifically proven opinions that she will flop; will recant.
I’ve liked everything I heard from her this far and this snippet is the best imo. I really want to hear the whole thing. I think she’s tired of everyone trying to be ratchet now so she went totally left field which is understandable.
Towards the Sun is the only promising song she’s put out this era and it’s not even on R8.
This is gonna be the artpop era for rihanna, try hard to be something that she’s not in the end she’ll end up flopping lol. If u have lack of talents, just stick to one genre of music that you’re good at and it will sell. Look at the queen of basic katy perry hahahahh. Good luck to riri and her team.
Sounds better than I BET!!!
Quit trolling
How much money will she make off songs she didn’t write
And can she do it live ?
#CiCanDoThat
More than Ciara will ever make from writing, producing and signing “I Bet”
American Oxygen sounds good and is a potential smash, Higher sounds really good too. I’m all about taking risks and Rihanna sure has, this era is probably gonna be one of my favourites from her.
It’s funny how the tables have turned who is the snippet queen now? Teasing songs in commercials and s*** what does the navy have to say now? Anyway hope the album will slay . Let’s not forget my so called washed up, tired,& old fave. Sold 610kin 3 days so anything less than that will be draggedT
Dragged by who? You? And why does your drag or opinion hold any weight? You on stage with a mic? *ill wait*
They sure hold enough weight for you to come on my reply section? No go ahead and enjoy those 10sec snippets
Sounds good!!! I love the epic, anthemic sound of it and she looks s*** in the video. Idk how she’s gonna roll this era out but she did say we would get music little by little. I’m ready!!!! Breathe out, breathe in!!!!!!
It sounds like a promo song, but nothing is clear this era. I have a feeling this won’t sell, but it won’t flop. It’ll do 180k in the first week and then cross a million. Then she’ll have to go back to the drawing board.
Hunty the real kii is fan of a fan (trash meets evil) giving us new classic numbers Floooooooooop
I know I got drug for this but Rhi is giving me a little Elle Varner and Amy Winehouse so far. Elle can tell a story in her music that makes you feel like you’re actually experiencing it.
—
Once you get over the fact that it’s So different from what Rhi typically does, you can appreciate the direction she’s going.
No because like you wrote, “Elle can tell a story in her music” okay yes. Now this girl live, hell even in the studio, cannot. I am not convinced!
We call this… “Trying too hard” for those that needed examples.
It’s cute but it won’t make any noise on the charts.
Same was said about FFS
It will flop like pretty hurts
Stop trolling b****.
Pretty Hurts is my fav song from the album. I dont think any list of Top 5 songs by Beyonce can be complete without Pretty Hurts. It may not have had the commercial success as other songs bt it was damn good if you really listen to it.
R8 lead single will be no1 they said. She’ll ether the game once she comes back they said. Fast forward to March 6 2015. And 53895479854787358 snippets later. None of that is happening. Her return has been met with lukewarm reception. A messy promo campaign, so-so song’s etc. Could this be Rihanna’s Artpop???
Lol how many usernames are you gonna make saying the same thing
Another lackluster song.
Still Better than a non-existent career
Rihanna learned from Bey with all these snippets.
Good luck Rihanna honestly!
To be perfectly honest, this MIGHT end up being the first Rihanna album I will purchase. It only took 10 years (LOL) but she is finally starting to impress me.
I’m not feeling this song (American Oxygen)at all but I do like FFS. I wasn’t sure about Higher at first, but after listening to the snippet a couple more times, I love it already without even hearing the song in it’s entirety.
I can’t wait to hear more from her and the full songs. I don’t care for this song but I do want to hear Higher.
90-100K first week….
And she will struggle to go platinum in the USA AND maybe scrape 2 mill WW, if that.
Just like Rita struggled to reach 100 on the US charts? Just like she struggled to reach 1 sold worldwide for her releases?
She’s growing as an artist and I love it, you can take your booty pad twerking music and go somewhere else because you’re not getting that from Rih this time, sorry (not sorry).
‘
I like the direction she is taking, people thought 4.5 seconds is a flop, well week 4-5 and it’s still in the top 5 and has already sold over 900K copies.
‘
Rihanna knows exactly what she is doing and she is delivering a masterpiece, this is her ray of light moment, can’t wait.
I love Rih, and whatever she puts out, i’m here for it, but i’m not going to lie, I love when she’s ratchet…

I’m glad she is growing as an artist, Rihanna is evolving and I’m here for all of it. Her voice suits any genre and I’m glad she is exploring how versatile her voice is.
You are truly a delusional fool….I knew you were an idiot but now…you’re on another level of dumb*s….
The only idiot I see on here is you. You are pressed as much as Prismatic_Hive but you’re his lessor. Prismatic may be dumb but he comes in with “valid” receipts, our logic is crossing the nutjob mark
@BluIvy b*tch you better stan for Blu!!
When Rihanna switched it up during the Good Girl Gone Bad era, I thought what is she doing? When Rihanna switched it up with Rated R, I thought what is she doing? When Rihanna switched it up with Loud, I thought what is she doing? This is not a try hard, as every artist is to evolve in some type of way. Her music has not sounded this good since 2009 (imo). I hope she let Kanye to contribute a lot more of the material for the album.
Yaaaaaas
But she was younger AND not as over exposed as she is now.
Overexposed as in how Rita Ora is everywhere and can only get a 90 second cameo on Fifty shades of grey? I’m sure you’re an expert on the subject.
whats with people mentioning snippets the chick has an actual single on the charts.
#staypressed
LOOOL.
Shes releasing all these basic snippets though and is mixing up songs from her album and soundtrack which is just a mess. By now Rihanna has her smash that carries and establishes her era. This era it feels like she does not know what shes doing and it feels like an incoherant mess since she left Def Jam. And the only decent song shes released so far is Towards the Sun which is on the kids soundtrack.
People kill me with this “evolving” she evolves too much and too fast. Madonnas evolution was so natural and it was more developed. I was more than “ok new album?new wig.new color.new lipstick.shade.somebodys style other than my own” I love Rih but all this changing so.rapidly will burn out
Leo Dicaprio fake PR rumors – which he has officially denied now. Turning up at all the events and radio deals, along with covers and yet HER DEBUT single did not go number 1 in UK, USA AND GERMANY – her so called Biggest markets.
MARK MY WORDS! SHE IS DONE
Wil when will Rita ever happen ?
How is this era all over the place when she’s only released one single that’s currently #5 on the charts?
That’s what I’m trying to figure out lol
She releasdd too snippets from Home and two from R8. FourFiveSeconds is only 100k away from being platinum. I’m still trying to figure out how this era is messy.
Preach
*Two
“She switched it up with GGGB and she switched it up with Loud” wait what? GGGB is Dance pop, R&B and Loud is the same so tell me what did she switch up exactly
You listened to the albums, interesting (closet stan).
GGGB was the last album I bought from her. The fact that you call me a closet fan but you own every SINGLE Beyonce album but continue to shade her music hmmmmm
So how do you know GGGB and Loud sound the same when you only bought GGGB? You bought Loud too, admit it.
‘
I’ve never denied (like you) owning all but one (B’Day) Beyonce albums.
I’ve heard the music on this thing you call thE INTERNET
Sure you have 🙂
Yas I have unlike you I don’t have to lie. Like buying someone’s albums then later try to say the music sucks. I mean if it sucks why did you buy it?
Because I can buy it, and I did.
‘
Enjoy Loud, bye.
Soooo… @LB You bought Self- Titled?? Lollll
Yep, when it first came out. Why are you acting like I kept it some big secret.
Her wig…..
Her image, her overall sound, and etc. It was more than a wig color. Loud isn’t the same. Good Girl Gone Bad doesn’t even have any songs that revert back to her island roots. Why are you mad?
Why are you here? Disappear like your favs career
Cute, but my fav’s career could never disappear, just like your H** v**** will never disappear. She copied my comment, so why are you so bothered? Jump on a d*** and FOH.
Navy members like LB are mentally ill. Thinking just because this girl changes her wig every five minutes she’s so “revolutionary.” Girl bye with that indecisive bullish*t. Rihanna throwing sh*t out to see what’ll stick. SHe clearly needed to release an album every year under DEF JAM cause now that she stopped both, she a flop. And yes FFS is a FLOP…
How is she flopping if her song is still in the top ten and is about to go platinum? I think you should get a refund on your high school dipolma because this whole “smart b****” thing isnt for you
A flop is anything that fails to exceed your preview work dumba*s. Whether she goes platinum with this bs or not, she’s FLOPPING compared to we found love. #deal #b****
But she hasn’t released her album as of yet and she has exceeded because she outsold most of her singles for UNA.
I’m glad you see WFL as the standard for excellence so does this mean Beyoncé is a log lip because she never had a hit as big as WFL WW in this decade
Is a flop*
Stupid auto correct
I said WFL because that obviously was the lead for UnaFLOPagetic. FourFiveSeconds is the lead single to her upcoming flop. Please find away to finish your high school diploma so people don’t have to spell everything out to you…if not for you, do it for the rest of the world..
We found love was 4 years ago, in that case Beyonce has been flopping since IASF.
Please since first DAY sales of Beyoncé. Should you be helping your fav with her insulin shot??
See*
Everybody keep talking about 4.5 seconds flopping being the first single do u remember Beyoncé when beyonce drop bow down that was a huge flop
Bow down wasn’t a single tho lmaooooo girl you tried it
Why would it be if it flopped? How could you tell b****** to bow down but these same b****** are outselling you and making bigger impact on music?
Someone please answer this
These Beyonce fans need to humble themselves, remember your fave over the span of two albums had only 1 single top the charts and 1 sold less than Rated R And the other barely sound 3.5 million.
Not to mention, rihanna just killed your faves acclaim with snippets. My our fave cannot even sing a gospel record and give it justice, yet you want to come for Rih when her R8 snippets actually make news while Beyoncé’s had gotten the boot from the radio stations? What Queen sends her music to radio to check to see if it’ll flop? Nah real artists just drop it and sell, that’s why rihanna can just drop a lead single that’s just vocals and a banjo but Bey has to strip and twerk in order to pass top 30
at the end of the day she is still beyonce she is talented everybody has some bridges to cross in their career…!! They are both great artist just tired of people trashing two great black artist its annoying !!
Your fave* not my our*
Lol wtf are you talking about. How did she kill Beyonces acclaim with snippets. Care to explain further?
Meaning that she has more artistry than your fave. When will Beyonce have a catalog as diverse as Rih? When will she make music that is timeless and poppin Everytime you listen to it
Rihanna could never do right for yall !! lmaooo i am done whats the point of commenting if you just gonna bring up useless people and bash them..
The love for rihanna is real. hate is the perfect form of flattery ..
Yall bring her up so much.. This is the Rihanna and Queen Bey bash site!!
I read somewhere that this is the lead single. 45s was just a way to promote the joint tour..
That’s an interesting theory, I do feel like ‘higher’ or this track is more lead single material. I still enjoy 4-5 seconds though
They bey hive losers are just mad they roll with the losing team
The truth has dinky come to life, beyonce is n overrted lying, theiveung, performer who has sent out very basic materialistic and even hateful messages in her songs
Rihanna is the real deal and it is killing them, beyonce is a fake, an imposter, poser and shine stealer, thief, liar, with crops music to boot—you couldn’t pay me to be ‘hive’ and that’s fact
delayed?? HAHAHAHA nice try
Garbage. Death at Navi reaching like this is gonna be a masterpiece.
REACHING
Lol the navy need to eat a slice of humble pie, theres a new snippet queen.
But who sends “buzz singles” to radio but still floo?
Flop*
Snippet queen?? Are you forgetting about Towards the Sun and 45s? I thought snippet queens dont release music.
I’m loving this song ! I’m really looking forward to her album ! I doubt it will flop , that would be reaching ! But I hope she gets that second No. 1 album #R8 !! I’m ready !!
I will say she needs to just go ahead and put the album out , it seems that it’s done so idk what’s the hold up , now is perfect timing
Cause it’ll flop and she knows it. Response has been lackluster
I love Rihanna but don’t come for Bey ! She switches up her sound with each album! 20x Grammies to he name who cares about a No. 1 single she dgaf , she’s sold over 100 million records as a solo artist , all 5 albums were number one FOR MORE THAN 3 WEEKS , she slit your favs throat with her lastest album that sold over 5 Million Records and won her 3 Grammies , 2 for just for one song that didn’t even go number 1 & she has 4 legendary awards which she has been winning since 2007 when she only had 2 albums to her name so no matter how much you shade her she is & will always be the QUEEN and all these other thots come after her #FACTSONLY
I’m excited
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
–
In all honesty though, This is the best snippet I heard, American Anthems are so safe though…. And shes not even from America, so i cant really take it seriously. Other than that, She released a snippet like last year on her insta, and it had a hard beat with heavy bass… I wonder what song that is! And she can keep all this extra shitt!
Ccc
