Rihanna is voicing the a part of Smurfette within the upcoming youngsters film, and simply days after we acquired a trailer for The Smurf Movie, Rihanna has launched the one “Good friend of Mine.” The upbeat, synth-heavy tune sounds prefer it was made for kid-friendly dance events, which wasn’t what followers had been anticipating, however a lot of them had been simply relieved to listen to new music from the artist.
