Is "Hard" Rihanna's New "Umbrella"?

"That Rihanna rain just won't let up," sings Rihanna in the newest song to surface from her upcoming Rated R album. "Hard" is the best thing she's done since "Disturbia" at least, and it just might be her next "Umbrella".

Written by The-Dream (responsible for "Umbrella"), the song has a bite to it. Everything from Rated R has been pretty dark, but "Hard" has an edge. Timbaland-esque horns blare as Rihanna declares "no pain is forever," and references her recent hit with Jay-Z, "Run This Town" when she sings, "all black on, black top shades, black diamonds."

So far the song has only appeared on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts, but expect it to fly up the Hot 100 after its released on iTunes.
