Hot Chip speak of admiration for RihannaHot Chip have revealed that they are big fans of Rihanna, particularly for the way she is able to emotionally connect to a song. Frontman Alexis Taylor named the Bajan superstar as his favourite pop artist when asked by the NME about a recent report which claims pop music is becoming louder and blander. "I think Rihanna's really good and I feel like whatever context she's in, I can connect to it. Not every singer can get you emotionally and I think she can. "Having said that, I prefer her tracks before they were euphoric and trance-y." However, Taylor admitted that he’s not such a fan of the current dance-pop sound favoured by the likes of David Guetta: “There's always exciting records being made. I don’t know whether much of that is in the mainstream at the moment and the heyday of exciting R&B and hip-hop seems to be over.
