I keep giving AO a listen thinking it'll start to click at any moment....

.... I'll keep trying

 

[Matt_]

AO is absolute trash
she can try it all she likes with that video but it wont ever stop that song from being shit

 

[rude]

AO is actually worse than anything on Unapologetic.

 

[Yado]

AO could have used a Kanye verse tbh

 

[Floridian]

Not here for the AO hate bandwagon...

FFS=AO>BBHMM

 

[Poker Face]

tidal is so fucking stupid.

 

[Floridian]

tidal is so fucking stupid.

Tidal is promoting even more pirating & ripping. What an ironic failure on their part tbh.

 

[Soulscribe]

AO could have used a Kanye verse tbh

I'd take a Jay verse over a Kanye one to be honest...

 

[rhandino]

I suppose the dissonance with the visual and the lyrics is done on purpose and the video is very nice indeed.

Still I don't like the song as much as 45S and #BBHMM. There is just something off about it =/

Or maybe I don't care because I am not "american" *shrugs*

 

[You Know Nothing]

I see an eye behind Rih.

#Illuminati #wakeupsheeple

I like both American Oxygen and Bitch Better Have My Money. 45S can stay in the trash.

 

[royalan]

AO sounds like a Loud demo.

 

[Yado]

I'd take a Jay verse over a Kanye one to be honest...

Jay wouldn't be right for this. Should have let Kanye rap (not sing, please not that) on this and kept him off 45S.


Anyway this song is really dull. Itunes Japan exclusive teas.

Oh, I think it was most likely intentional. A juxtaposition to show that what she's singing about isn't how it is.

I would just prefer if the song by itself weren't so "Rah, rah, Murica"

 

[Floridian]

Should have been the first single imo.

Breathe out, breathe in
American oxygen
Every breath I breathe
Chasin' this American Dream
We sweat for a nickel and a dime
Turn it into an empire
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American oxygen

American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American Oxygen
American oxygen
Breathe in, this feeling
American, American Oxygen

 

[Vazduh]

Yes.

Me too, I think I need the Bioshock Infinite rihmix to fully appreciate it tbh.

 

[Soulscribe]

I really wished we could get a mega collaboration sometime. I want Bey, Gaga, Nicki and Rih on a track together.

 

[Matt_]

too many egos tbh
We'll have to cope with Bang Bang and Lady Marmalade

 

[Via Purifico]

The video would have been way better off on Youtube and not a Tidal "exclusive"

 

[Touchdown]

Wait I love the video. Y'all are hatin' ass right wingers if you don't think this slays. Most mature sound and video this year. Grammy worthy tbh

Educate them! It makes me like the song even more.

 

[Mau ®]

I won't support the Rhat this era if she continues to peddle TIDAL.

Stupid puppet.

 

[Touchdown]

Educate them! It makes me like the song even more.

It shows both how far we've come and the long ways we still have to go in this country, all the while trying to get that American dream. Let me watch it again.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

what if this Rih era is shit because she's using rejects for TIDAL, and then she'll launch a proper album once they've no longer stipulated it be a TIDAL exclusive?

 

[SaintZ]

The Rhat was clearly inspired by Lana when making this video but somehow the song was even more boring than anything found in Ultraviolence.

yeah ok LOL

 

[Blood Diamonds]

yeah ok LOL

What you trying to say here sis

 

[rude]

Imagine if Rih got Dan Auerbach to produce some serngs on her alber

 

[rhandino]

I really wished we could get a mega collaboration sometime. I want Bey, Gaga, Nicki and Rih on a track together.

I want this to happen.

 

[Matt_]

a rih/katy song would nab that #1 record from mariah for sure

 

[Floridian]

Sure jan.

 

[Soulscribe]

A Gaga/Rihanna collab would be the catchiest shit ever tbh

 

[Aguila]

The Rhat was clearly inspired by Lana when making this video but somehow the song was even more boring than anything found in Ultraviolence.

She definitely tried, but Lana remains Queen of Americana iconography.

 

[Matt_]

45seconds is absolutely refusing to leave my itunes library and it is driving me insane
I've asked for a refund
I've deleted it
I've hidden it from my icloud
and yet it still is in my most recent playlist and will not remove itself from my phone

this is not acceptable behaviour

 

[Floridian]

She definitely tried, but Lana remains Queen of Americana iconography.

Edit: Mobile doesn't work well for me

 

[Touchdown]

She definitely tried, but Lana remains Queen of Americana iconography.

Whatever happened to Lana btw? I forgot all about her. Did she ever release any singles for Ultraviolence?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Not when Katy Perry exists.

wat
Katy + Americana?

America =/= Americana

 

[Floridian]

wat
Katy + Americana?

America =/= Americana

woops, had a #nvay moment & read it wrong. hehe was about to say

 

[Via Purifico]

Lana's videos are beautifully shot but American Oxygen is a more powerful video.

 

[Aguila]

hew?

Lana is coming to cleanse our ears this August with ha new alber, and, sure, she had a few singles.

 

[Floridian]

Lana's videos are beautifully shot but American Oxygen is a more powerful video.

Which is why it needs promotion outside of TIDAL 😤😤

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Shame American Airconditioning's lyrics don't match up with the video

woops, had a #nvay moment & read it wrong. hehe was about to say

buy Doing It ft. Rita Ora on iTues

Hew?

 

[rhandino]

It's intentional, to give a powerful contrast between the lyrics and the visuals. It works tbh

 

[Vazra]

Hew?

Someone superior than Rhat.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Shame American Airconditioning's lyrics don't match up with the video

It definitely works due to the obvious contrast I think.

But the song itself would work better if it was a full blown political protest song so to speak. In the vein of MIA or Born This Way era Gaga.

 

[Touchdown]

Wait I get the feeling Rih pushed this out quicker than she wanted to just to get another exclusive up on Tidal. We still need the BBHMM video.

I kind of feel the same way as you. It did just come out of nowhere but great video nonetheless.

 

[Floridian]

Meh, I got over that song the moment Empire's season ended.

 

[Vazra]

Meh, I got over that song the moment Empire's season ended.

Longer than Rhat's latest singles.
