Rihanna's anticipated video for her lead single "Diamonds" just premiered on MTV moments ago! The vid, directed by Anthony Mandler, had plenty of diamonds, of course (Ri Ri even smoked a few!). It has a lot of different scenes from Rihanna singing in the desert alongside a black stallion and its mare, running down a road like she's been chased, and ends with calamity of a war in the streets and a man on fire walking through the scene.
Check out the video after the jump!
Overall, I love the song! I think, compared to what fans and the Rihanna Navy are used to, it's very calm and mellow. Emotional and relaxing to me, with Rihanna even calling Unapologetic itself a "stoner's album" haha! Though it's not my favorite Rihanna video ("We Found Love" still takes the cake!), this video is filled with great imagery and symbols seemingly reflective of her past (MTV does a good job of breaking it down here) While I don't always connect to abstract videos like this, I respected the editing and design put into this one! It fits her!
Make sure you cop Rihanna's seventh album Unapologetic on November 19!
