Mandy Moore’s stripped down version of “Umbrella“, which was originally performed by Rihanna, embraces all of the melodic entities that Top 40 fans are currently eating up as fast as they can get! Her rendition is heartfelt, soulful and lends that graceful elegance Moore is known to reflect. In an interview with Pepsi Smash, she nervously laughed while warming fans up.
” This is one of my favorite songs, um, I guess of the moment. I’m not a bit Top 40 sort of listener, and I dont tend to listen to this type of music, but you just can’t deny how melodic this song is.”
I don’t generally listen to Mandy Moore, but I have to say, I stumbled over the words in this song and in doing so, found that something about it pulled me into her world . I made this song my own too! Her version of “Umbrella” is by far more polished and heartfelt! After listening to the video, I backtracked and listened to Rihanna’s original and found it did nothing for me. Moore’s version is going far and wide spread to reach a great many ears! I’m a new fan and I’m a difficult one to catch. “Now that it’s raining more than ever…you can stand under my umbrella…” Just to add a spin on renditions, check out Rob Thomas’s version of ” Time After Time”. It rocks!
