Rap-Up.com || Mateo Covers Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’

Mateo takes Rihanna’s “We Found Love” out of the club with his stripped-down version. Seated at the piano, the singer-songwriter puts his soulful spin on the dance smash for his new “Stripped Cover Series.” Mateo’s EP Love & Stadiums II was released to iTunes this week featuring the Alicia Keys-assisted single “Say It’s So.” What do you think of his interpretation?
