Rihanna Releases We Found Love Music Visual - Reviewed

Rihanna has been releasing hit after hit after hit since she released her debut album, Music of the Sun back in 2005. It wasn't long ago, November 2010 that Rihanna released her platinum selling album Loud. She was considering doing a re-release of the project because it had done so well, but recently tweeted that she will be doing an entirely new project. The release of her forthcoming album Talk That Talk is due out November 21, 2011. Her first single from the album is We Found Love produced by Calvin Harris and earlier today the visual for the song was released.

This video is so #amazing. Melina Matsoukas directed it. i was glued to the screen in awe throughout it's entirety. I think the rawness of the video is what struck my eye immediately. The concept is a powerful story about Rihanna and her "man", who by the way resembles a certain ex-boyfriend of hers. The song is a great club joint, and actually brings a smile to your face, but that is the complete opposite of what the visuals portray. "We fell in love in a hopeless place", goes the chorus. First part of the song is great. Shots of them doing PDA everywhere, being reckless, but then they pop a pill and a rollercoaster ride begins.

The video still looks like a party until the trip turns bad. The "trip" is their relationship and you can see them constantly fighting in the scenes after. Also abusing drugs and alcohol. ..We're young, deal with it. By the last scene, Rihanna is in a corner, alone.
