Rihanna’s video for her latest single “Only Girl (In The World)” was supposed to premiere later tonight. But the stans on the internets weren’t haven’t it. In the leaked video, a beautiful red-head Rihanna frolics in visual barren playful landscapes that’d made David LaChapelle proud. She is literally the only girl in this world. A sly statement that’s loud and clear. It’s a pretty ethereal visual accompaniment to an already in your face song. Dope contrast. “Only Girl (In The World),” was directed by Anthony Mandler (Usher, Drake, John Mayer).
The song took a minute to grow on me. But once it did, I couldn’t help myself from playing it constantly. I’m sure my iTunes has it clocked in at some ridiculous number of plays. Rihanna has another monster smash on her hands. And just like that’s Ciara’s hopes for a comeback seem slim to none. Rihanna’s fifth album LOUD is set to be released Nov 16. Just in time for the holiday sales rush. Watch “Only Girl (In The World)” below.
