Rihanna‘s long-awaited return to the musical stage at Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII (February 12) is still the talk of the Web.

Cranking out her greatest hits like ‘Work,’ ‘We Found Love,’ ‘Diamonds,’ and more, the GRAMMY-winning diva dominated newsfeeds for the high-octane showing that was only outshone by the unveiling of her baby bump – confirming rumors she was pregnant with her second child.

And while fans and her celebrity peers took to social media in droves to sing her praises, names like Donald Trump and Howard Stern made headlines for doing the exact opposite.

After the former branded the 13-minute set the “worst halftime show in Super Bowl history,” the latter wondered why she even bothered to perform in the first place.

A year after reaching its Hot 100 top 20 peak, ‘Hrs & Hrs’ – the breakthrough single of Muni Long – continues to clock major streams on digital music platforms like Spotify.

To capitalize off its enduring impact, the obstinate ballad recently got a facelift in the form of a Spanish edition as part of the GRAMMY nominee’s ‘Spotify Singles’ spotlight.

Titled ‘Horas Y Horas,’ the repackaged cut comes courtesy of production from GRAMMY-winning duo The Avila Brothers.

“Lo tuyo, es mío, ahora/ Puedo hacer esto por horas/ Sentar y hablarte aquí por horas/ Regalarte unas rosas/ Nos bañamos en las olas/ De champaña y una cena/ Pero eres tu que me devoras,” she croons on the loose translation of her R&B chart-topping hit.

‘Hrs’ wasn’t the only song getting the remake treatment from Muni, however.  She also reimagined The Carpenters’ (and later Luther Vandross) classic ‘Superstar.’
