Barbadian pop star Rihanna has premiered the video for her current single We Found Love, featuring Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, and I must say, what an exceptional video she has delivered.
Filmed in Northern Ireland the video features RiRi, her man (played by boxer and model Dudley O’Shaughnessy), and their emotionally-driven relationship. From the opening prologue delivered by a young Irish lass through to the departure of Miss Fenty at the end of the clip, the Melina Matsoukas direct video is fully charged.
We Found Love contains a love story caught in a dark place, a hopeless place if you will. Drugs, booze, sex... you name it, it's got it. For me it's like Trainspotting with a Rihanna backdrop. RiRi and co could have taken the route of providing us a cheeky video with RiRi flirty her assets in a club, however we've been blessed with something a little more inspiring with a interesting story to tell.
Well done crew, very happy on the outcome.
