Vorlage:Infobox single "S&M" is a song performed by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her fifth studio album, Loud. With a January 2011 release, "S&M" will serve as the third official single, accompanied with an "unexpected" music video.[1][2]

Background and release

"S&M" was written by Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor E. Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, and Ester Dean. It was produced by Norwegian production team StarGate and Sandy Vee, who were also the producers for "Only Girl (In the World)". The single will impact on U.S. Top 40/Mainstream and rhythmic radios on January 25, 2011.[3][4] The official remix featuring rapper J. Cole, premiered online on January 17, 2011.[5]

Composition and critical reception

"S&M" is an up-tempo eurodance song,[6] with elements of electro,[7] dance-pop,[8] and dance music.[9] Spin Magazine praised the song's heavy bass-line saying "the singer's voice goes stratospheric over an electro pulse".[10] Meanwhile Allmusic's Andy Kellman praised "S&M" as one of the better dance-pop songs from the album for "efficiently balancing "Rihanna’s playful and sinister sides" though he noticed that it is not as good as her previous single "Rude Boy" (2009).[11] Entertainment Weekly called the song "late-night-Cinemax naughtiness", adding that it's an "explicitly carnal opener".[12] Jon Parales and Jon Caramanica from New York Times focussed on the song's lyrics, calling them a "bouncy endorsement of whips and chains". They described the song's production as "a four-on-the-floor club beat (and later the hook from the Cure’s 'Let’s Go to Bed')".[13]

However not all of the reviews were positive. Sal Cinquenmani from Slant Magazine and Thomas Conner from the Chicago Sun Times both said that "S&M" was one song from Loud that was remincent of the darker themes of Rihanna's last album Rated R (2009).[14][15] Cinquenmani went on to describe "S&M" as an ode to sadomasochism, "that would make various parts of Janet's body perk up".[15] James Skinner from BBC Music felt that "S&M" actually lost some of the appeal that some of Rated RPflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlt "chart-friendly moments" had. Skinner criticised the use of "sadomasochistic" lyrics which he said were not synonymous with the "flirtatious" appeal that Rihanna was trying to create. He said "As bracingly huge and catchy as it is, 'S&M' doesn’t deviate much from its blunt title: lyrics like "Sticks and stones may break my bones / But chains and whips excite me" feel forced, not daring".[16] USA TodayPflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlts Steve Jones also noted that Rihanna fails to shake off the "sexually aggressive tone" despite "shaking off the dark cloud of domestic violence that veiled 2009's Rated R. Jones said "['S&M'] is LoudPflichtangabe Text für Zitat im Zitat fehlts pulsating opener. [Rihanna] makes it clear from the jump where she's headed as she acknowledges that chains and whips excite her".[17] Chris Richards from The Washington Post praised the song for allowing Rihanna to express her juicy bedroom fantasies for "chains and whips" but describe the outcome as her "best Lady Gaga pantomime".[18] The A.V. Club said that "Her sassy growl on “S&M” just barely makes up for the lyric “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me".[19]

Music video

On the same day the "S&M" remix was released, Rap-Up magazine confirmed the music video was shot during the weekend of January 15, 2011 with director Melina Matsoukas, who has previously worked with Rihanna on a number of occasions.[5] On January 19, 2011, Rihanna posted an image from the video onto her twitter account. The image shows her wearing a heart-shaped patch across her left eye, holding an ice cream cone in her hand with her back exposed.[20]
