After what seems to be forever, or just several months if you’re really keeping count, Rihanna has returned with a follow-up single for her straight to the point single, ‘Bitch Better Have My Money.’ For what easily serves as her most interesting and lengthy pre-album campaign ever, Rihanna’s ANTi finds itself being as equally mysterious as it does anticipated by fans of the Barbados hit-maker. Next up in the world of singles, Rihanna has teamed up with previous collaborator, Drake, for her brand new single, ‘Work.’ Embodying an island flavor, if ‘Work’ was the smash single that Rihanna was waiting for, she finally has it. Featuring the best of both worlds from Drake, the rapper shifts from soft singing to rapping throughout his contribution. Rihanna shines in true Rih-Rih fashion with her signature tone on the love track and blasts straight into a flurry of island lingo and dialect that still makes for a catchy track. Produced by PND and Boi1da, it appears that Rihanna’s team enlisted everyone to make sure that ‘Work’ would be nothing short of a success. There’s no doubt that it’s safe to say that Rihanna is back and this is only the beginning of an exciting journey that will ensue in 2016.
You can take your first listen to and purchase ‘Work,’ here, on Tidal, and you can also stream the brand new single, on Apple Music.
