Rihanna finally released her highly anticipated album ANTI this week, and the reviews have proven that the results were worth the wait. While her latest single “Work” with Drake holds the majority of the attention, since the album has been out another track has started gaining a bit of buzz.
Towards the end of the album, Rihanna fits in a cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Old Mistakes”—renamed as simply “Same Ol’ Mistakes.” Rather than rearranging the song or making any other drastic changes, Rihanna leaves the record as is, just adding her soft vocals to the soothing rhythm.
Tame Impala released a statement about the cover, telling NME:
The Roc Nation [Rihanna’s management] team got in touch with us here at Spinning Top letting us know that Rihanna loved the Tame Impala track ‘New Person, Same Old Mistakes.’ They asked if she could cover the song for her new record. Kevin was more than happy to send it her way. We’re all really happy with how the song turned out, love it!
Listen to the original below, and Rihanna’s cover over on Tidal.
