Best Songs of 2011: #12

Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - "We Found Love"

While you might think what we have is a simple pop song, you'd be wrong. Sure it has all the tell-tale signs of pop; catchy melody, simple lyrics, love. But this is not pop music. This is hardcore house. This is the kind of four on the floor, hopelessly romantic, unrelentingly pounding jams that gay men in London and Chicago grinded to in 1989. Whoever was behind this beat should be named Funkmaster Kid Hott or Mr. House or Phuture or Phortune. But his name is Calvin Harris, he's from the UK, and he's obviously done his homework.
