The song finds a polar opposite from her recent clubbier efforts and adopts a rarely seen softer and more prolific edge. “So shine bright tonight, you and I, we’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky,” she croons about her true love over propelling drums and echoed beats courtesy of songwriter-du-jour Sia and knob-twiddler Benny Blanco. By the time the emotional climax kicks in, the result feels like a whole new Rihanna.

8. “Too Close,” Alex Clare
9. “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Youself),” Ne-Yo
