As ‘You Da One’ continued to tumble further down the Billboard Hot 100 this week – down two froms to #25 – Rihanna has released the track’s accompanying video. Directed by Melina, the video includes visual dedications to Stanley Kubrick’s ‘A Clockwork Orange’ movie, although it was far from as impressive as the classic film.
A screenshot of Rihanna’s ‘You Da One’ video was released earlier this week to help build buzz for the clip and now behind the scenes footage of the shoot has been issued. Directed by Melina, the production appears to be relatively low budget compared to the glitz and glamour of Rihanna’s other works.
Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ has blazed at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and she is seeking to continue the momentum with its followup ‘You Da One’. As such, the vixen has released this vmysterious sneak peek of the accompanying video, which was directed by Melina.
Rihanna returned to Northern Ireland – where she filmed her ‘We Found Love’ video – to shoot the visual for her latest single, ‘You Da One’, earlier this week. Paying homage to the 1971 movie ‘A Clockwork Orange’, the Barbadian took centre stage in an odd ensemble for the first days of filming.
Rihanna previously claimed that she had ditched her array of bright hair colours and shocking fashions to avoid being classed as a gimmick. However, probably in response to the slow sales of her ‘Talk That Talk’ album, the vixen has resurrected her wig collection for her ‘You Da One’ video.
Earlier this week, Rihanna announced that she would be releasing a new single and delivered on her promise this morning. ‘You Da One’ is the second official single from the Pop star’s upcoming ‘Talk That Talk‘ album, which will hit stores on November 21st.
Rihanna caught her fans off guard just moments ago when she announced the title and cover of her new single. ‘You Da One’ will impact radio Friday – November 11th – and iTunes on Sunday at midnight.
