Only Girl (In the World) - Boyce Avenue

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cVZuJP6YRU]


The original cut of this song by Rihanna is good, but this one takes the cake. If you guys haven't checked this band out, go to YouTube right now and do so. They do a lot of really awesome covers. They put their own twist on stuff, and I like it a lot. The group is based out of Sarasota, FL where the brothers who started the group, Alejandro, Daniel, and Fabian Manzano, grew up. They were signed to Universal Republic but left the organization to start their own label, 3 Peace Records.


Rihanna's original take on the song was pretty popular, too. The song climbed all the way to #1 on the Hot 100 chart. It's interesting to know that this song had a first on that chart. "Only Girl" was the first single released from Rihanna's album Loud, but the second single from that album, "What's My Name?", actually made it to #1 first, even after being released later.
