Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Character

That might sound like damning with faint praise, but think about what has made Rih’s own best songs over the last five years-“Umbrella,” “Disturbia,” “Rude Boy”-work. Indeed, if anyone sells “The Monster,” it’s Rihanna, the premier hook-singer of the post-hip-hop era (eat your heart out, Ashanti). In general, “Monster” is brighter-sounding, while still employing enough minor-key dissonance to let Rihanna “blues” her vocal à la “Lie.” Shady’s rhyme delivery is more manic, adopting a range of identities at one point, he lurches from computer-masked Vader voice to a Julie Andrews–worthy yodel. You could dance, or at least bop gently, to “Monster,” while “Lie” was made strictly for bathing or wallowing. But having started its life as a completely different song, “The Monster” evokes its predecessor without being a carbon copy.

(The main writer of “Love the Way You Lie,” pop singer-songwriter Skylar Grey, wasn’t involved.) Em then took Rexha’s composition into the studio with producer Bryan “Frequency” Fryzel, wrote his rhymes on top and invited Rihanna to sing the hook Rexha’s original background vocals were left intact, deep in the mix.Īs “Monsters” go, this one is of the Frankenstein’s variety like so many pop songs today, no fewer than seven writers are listed in the credits.

The main melodic hook was written by young recording artist Bebe Rexha while working on her own album, before she pitched it to Eminem. “The Monster” did not begin its life as a direct rewrite, though.
