Download of the Day 5/6: "If I Never See Your Face Again" by Maroon 5 and Rihanna

Whoever came up with this idea is VERY smart!

For Maroon 5's fourth single from their album It Won't Be Soon Before Long, they chose one of the highlights "If I Never See Your Face Again". Instead of the album version, they remixed it and added some girl. You may know who she is. I think her name is Rihanna?

It is a really good remix of the song. Although I enjoyed the original, this one is funkier and more fun. I like Maroon 5 when they let themselves loose. I was also surprised how easily Adam Levine's and Rihanna's voices meshed together. His voice is always fantastic, but hers was exceptionally good, better than it usually is.

I have been reading reviews on iTunes and there are some die-hard fans who are disgusted by this duet. I don't mean to be rude, but they should lighten up. I don't see how working with a fellow chart-topper is career damaging. It was a very smart move for both parties.

Rating: 7.5/10
