THE poster sitting aptly in Dymon Asia Private Equity’s (DAPE) boardroom brightly reads Shine Bright Like A Dymon, taking a leaf from Rihanna’s award winning hit Diamonds with its evocative and hypnotic line “Shine bright like a diamond”.
Diamonds went on to be nominated 13 different times and won several awards, including Top R&B Song for 2013. Unlike Rihanna’s previous hits, Diamonds sounded softer, with a more moderate tempo and laidback vibe – yet the formula worked, and critics felt Rihanna had made a breakthrough.
