Barbados ‘ international singer Rihanna has once again dominated the Barbados Music Awards

While lifetime achievements awards went to Bunny Best and Sir Don Marshall and Awards of Merit went to the late Jackie Opel and Irvin Burgie, who penned Harry Belafonte’s famous ‘Day-O’ song
The duet made by the sexiest black pop star and the young pretty Italian singer has taken out a new exciting version of “Unfaithful”, one of the last successes of Rihanna.
The song in its original version was pretty good and when it came out it took the first places in all the rankings of the most listened songs of the world, but it never touched their tops.
For this reason Robin Rihanna Fenty (Rihanna’s real name) decided to start a collaboration with the new European talent, the blond young singer and composer Gabriele Nosso (Zedstar’s real name), to improve “Unfaithful”, that she considers one of the most beautiful and profound songs that she has ever recorded.
The final result is really exciting: Unfaithful is now a masterpiece.
The music was been totally rearranged and there were included new drums sounds and a new rhythm that take the heartbeat of the listener to the speed of the bass-drum.
The parts of the songs when Rihanna sings are now interrupted sometimes by rap parts of Zedstar, that complete the song in all of its faces adding it a sweeping energy that it never had before. So the Rihanna’s voice results now more enchanting and take with her a sense of mystery.
But the most beautiful part is surely the bridge of the song, when stand out the great tuning that there is between the two singers. Their voices interlace one in the other for few seconds, transmitting in a little time a great wonderful emotion that steal the breath.
When the new song come out some voices said that there was a relation between Rihanna and Zedstar, but the white singer had immediately denied the false news, affirming that the song was recorded by distance (the work was done in Europe and then sent in United States) and that, even if between Rihanna and himself there was been a great cooperation, they have never met each other.
No one knows if they’re now working together for other songs, but people think that they’re now enjoying the holidays waiting the coming of the new year, while the song is spreading all over the net.
