All right, we're heading into the final stretch of the mix, and I've saved some of the absolute weapons for last.

This next one is Amir Reza's remix of Rihanna's "Umbrella." And after that we got two of my own productions back to back.

Let's go.

Told you I'll be here forever.

What a ride that was.

Big up to every single one of you who's been with me for the last hour, and seriously, I see you and I appreciate your support more than you know.

For those last few tracks, we had Amir Reza's remix of Rihanna's Umbrella.

Then it was my own track, Dopamine, and we just closed out with an extended remix of Sir Ivan's Love Is The Peace.

Your first drum song.

Umbrella, baby.

Too easy.

A little

Y- I'd want you to do Queen, but also I don't know-

We do, uh, Rihanna's, uh, Umbrella.

You do?

Is that true? No.

[laughs]

...

I start playing, I start singing Rihanna's Umbrella-

[laughs]

Today she has 14 Billboard number ones and massively successful beauty and lingerie lines, but before she was a billionaire, she built her first smash hit on top of a garage band drum loop.

So today we're gonna break down her hit song Umbrella, listen to all of its isolated layers from the drums and synths to Rihanna's gorgeous vocals.

You may have heard this song many times before, but never, never quite like this.

We're talking one song, and that song is Rihanna's Umbrella, ella, ella, ella.

Propel Fitness Water.

With Gatorade electrolytes, zero sugar, and vitamins, Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self.

That's right.

On today's One Song, a record that forged a new global pop star and literally changed the weather.

And if you get five out of five, bam, you win.

Here's Rihanna, Jay-Z, Umbrella.

It's Graham and Nathan on FM 104.

You're listening to the Graham and

S.O.S. became her first number one hit, but 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad transformed her into a global superstar.

Umbrella introduced a more confident image and became one of the pop music's most successful hit-making run.

Across eight studio albums, Rihanna moved freely between R&B, pop, dancehall, reggae, ADM, and hip-hop.

She later expanded beyond music with Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, becoming a major choice in beauty, fashion, and representation.

Oh my gosh.

So I think for my third one, I'll have to pick three.

It would be Umbrella, Cold Case Love, and Firebomb.

Umbrella is just...

Then we had Everybody Got Their Something by Nick Acosta.

Then we had Umbrella by Rihanna and Jay-Z.

Then we had As Gold.

Uh, that's an incredible song by Uni and Her Ukulele.

You see? Yeah, it's a nice little bit of audience interaction.

So Emma and Ava are on today, and the five questions that they encounter in the little cafe quiz, uh, question one, '90s or noughties, Umbrella by Rihanna.

Right? '90s or noughties, Umbrella by Rihanna.

Question two, real or fictional, Long John Silver.

Question number three, county town or not county town, Naas.

Very compliant audience.

Okay, first question, music.

Uh, '90s or noughties, '90s or noughties, Umbrella by Rihanna?

Oh, is it?

So Rihanna, Jay-Z, Umbrella, that...

That's, I think, a Logic loop, or like an Apple loop.

But it's all, they're all cleared for use.
