You Da OneOutside of first single "We Found Love," Rihanna has kept a tight lid on her upcoming album Talk That Talk. But with the disc due out November 18th, the singer decided to whet the fans' appetite by premiering a new track called "You Da One," one of the few radio-friendly songs on the very dirty TTT. The single is textbook Rihanna with its trademark stuttered hooks, islands-tinged sound, and lyrics about obsessive love. "You the one that I dream about all day, you the one that I think about always," Rihanna sings on the chorus. And like all singles these days, there's the prerequisite dubstep breakdown in the final third of the song. Compared to the universally praised smash "We Found Love," "You Da One" definitely falls into the category of lesser RiRi singles like "Man Down" and "Russian Roulette," but there's no way a song this catchy won't result in yet another Top 10 hit for Rihanna:
