	When she recorded the 'ellas,' you knew it was about to be the jump-off and your life was about to change if you had anything to do with that record.
—Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Billboard[7]

Stewart confessed he was still reluctant as to whether Rihanna was the right artist to record the song, but following the addition of the "ella, ella" refrain into the track, he felt they were onto "something".

Reception

Andy Kellman of All Music Guide commented: "'Umbrella,' is her best to date, delivering mammoth if spacious drums, a towering backdrop during the chorus, and vocals that are somehow totally convincing without sounding all that impassioned — an ideal spot between trying too hard and boredom, like she might've been on her 20th take, which only adds to the song's charm. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide.

The set was closed to Rihanna, Applebaum and a camera assistant. ^[19] Rihanna also contributed her own ideas towards the video shoot, suggesting to Applebaum that she dance en pointe, an idea which he accepted.

When made available for purchase on iTunes, the song reached #47 in the UK Singles Chart [3]. Despite being chart eligible, the release was not intended as an official single. As bassist Nicky Wire commented, "The Umbrella thing is an odd situation, especially for me with my insane marketing head on. Nicholas Allen Jones, known as Nicky Wire, is the Lyricist, bassist and occasional Vocalist with the Welsh rock band Part of me thinks we should have given it a massive push as it’s selling loads on download, maybe we should have had a physical format and made it an official Manics single. I’m really perturbed that if it’s perceived that way, we’ll have had 33 consecutive Top 40 singles since Stay Beautiful, back when we signed to Sony. " Stay Beautiful " was released by the Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers on July 29 1991 and was the first single to be released from Sony BMG Music Entertainment is a diverse music and entertainment group I don’t want our record ruined. I can take it as a happy accident as long as the sales don’t push it to Number 42 or something but it is definitely not an official Manics single" [4].

Nicky Wire said of the song, "This was my favourite track of 2007. It's just so razor-sharp. And who'd have thought a song called 'Umbrella' would be Number One all over the world? It's such an un-pop word. I love it when a record seems to come from another universe. I just wanted us to have a stab at it!"^[22]

Two further versions were later made available on iTunes and now comprise a three-track Umbrella EP.

Reported coincidence with weather

The song's reign at number-one in the United Kingdom and Ireland occurred as the region was hit by extreme rainfall and flooding, which led some people to jokingly suggest the two events were related, the media referring to it as the "Rihanna Curse". The 2007 United Kingdom floods were a series of destructive floods that occurred in various areas across the country during the summer of 2007 Interestingly, the precise day the song was knocked from the #1 position by Timbaland, the weather seemed to improve. Timothy Z Mosley (born March 10, 1971) better known by his Stage name Timbaland, is an American Record producer, A similar situation occurred in New Zealand, where the song hit #1 in the early winter of 2007 as the country was experiencing some of the worst storms in its history. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island ^[23] In Greece, "Umbrella" was released at a time when people were suffering through a summer of several major heatwaves topping 47C/117F, and the worst forest fires of modern history, killing 60 people. Greece (Ελλάδα transliterated: Elláda, historically, Ellás,) officially the Hellenic Republic (Ελληνική Δημοκρατία When the song peaked at #4 in the Greek singles chart in October 2007, the country experienced significant rainfall. Spain also experienced one of its wettest summers in decades, and the coldest August since the beginning of the 20th century during "Umbrella"'s chart run. The "Rihanna Curse" has appeared to have returned in UK in 2008 since 'Take A Bow' reached number 1 the rain came back.
