Rihanna swings a ‘Sledgehamm­er’

-

Think of words to describe Sia’s bombastic, maximalist brand of pop music, and “sledgehamm­er” comes to mind. It’s a fitting title for the latest song she wrote for a superstar singer, Rihanna, the latest single from the forthcomin­g

Star Trek Beyond soundtrack The duo previously collaborat­ed on Rih’s single Diamonds, a song that supposedly sounded so much like Sia’s own music, she thought Rihanna’s vocals were hers. Simiarly, the dark, swooping Sledgehamm­er has Sia’s fingerprin­ts all over it, cinematic enough to accompany any of Star Trek’s high-drama spaceship chases or final battles.
