Whats My Name, the latest single from the Bajan songstress Rihanna, is not a cover of The Clashs 1977 punk classic, but finds RiRi taking a detour from the dancefloor-scorching grooves of Only Girl to craft a steamier cut which draws its heat from her short-lived, but much-buzzed-about relationship with the T-dot heavyweight. Here, the upbeat synth boardwork of Stargate sets the stage for a heaping helping of innuendo from both collaborators, Drizzy handles verse one, sing-rapping his way through a double-entendre-peppered opener (The square root of 69 is (eight/ate) something… right? Cause I been tryin to work it out.), and Rihanna responds in kind, lacing her verses and chorus with some playful come-ons of her own. Digging this catchy ode to young love/lust? Then be sure to grab a copy of this vinyl and the heavy remixes it has.
