Rihanna is clearly ready for summer and she wants you to be too. The proof is on two surprise remix EPs she dropped on Wednesday for the ANTI tracks “Needed Me” and “Kiss it Better,” featuring fresh takes on those songs from R3hab, Salva, Four Tet and Kaytranada.
Montreal-based DJ/producer Kaytranada was a guest on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show earlier this week, where he premiered his laid-back, house-y take on “Kiss It Better,” the original of which hit the top of the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 after Anti dropped in January.
