The previous few years has seen some iconic moments for Rihanna, together with two epic being pregnant bulletins — one at this 12 months’s Met Gala and one throughout her 2023 Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present efficiency — and getting acknowledged for her style sense by none apart from Anna Wintour. What we haven’t seen (or heard) a lot of from Rihanna, nonetheless, is new music. She simply launched her first music in years as a part of the upcoming The Smurfs Movie’s soundtrack, and I’m dying over a few of these fan reactions.
Rihanna is voicing the a part of Smurfette within the upcoming youngsters film, and simply days after we bought a trailer for The Smurf Movie, Rihanna has launched the one “Buddy of Mine.” The upbeat, synth-heavy music sounds prefer it was made for kid-friendly dance events, which wasn’t what followers had been anticipating, however lots of them had been simply relieved to listen to new music from the artist. Feedback on the YouTube video included:

No, these reactions aren’t precisely glowing with reward, however as they mentioned, after two years, followers are prepared to take no matter she’s serving. Rihanna’s earlier launch was “Carry Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Ceaselessly in 2022, and that additionally got here after a number of years of musical silence.
Many identified that “Buddy of Mine” has the potential to be a summer time membership anthem, if not an earworm from the youngsters’ repeated taking part in of the soundtrack after seeing the film, which hits the 2025 film calendar in July. A lot of followers had been additionally satisfied that Rihanna is trolling us. They mentioned:

The Smurfs Movie has allowed Rihanna to do greater than create new music. For one, her model Savage X Fenty is placing out an lingerie line based mostly on the animated blue creatures. She’s additionally hoping that lending her voice to the film will earn her some cool factors along with her youngsters RZA and Riot, who she shares with A$AP Rocky. She’ll have to attend a bit for Child No. 3 to have the ability to respect her abilities although.
Take a look at “Buddy of Mine” for your self beneath and see for those who agree with a number of the reactions:
This will not be on par with a few of Rihanna’s best hits within the eyes of followers, however when she’s solely giving us one music each few years, I suppose we’ll simply should be joyful that we’re getting something in any respect. You’ll have the ability to hear this tune loud and proud when The Smurfs Movie hits theaters on Friday, July 18.
