Rihanna must have a mint when it comes to budget for her 'Loud' project. RiRi unleashes yet another video from the disc. This time, Rihanna takes her message to Jamaica to tell the story of a sexually-abuse woman and how she 'triumphs' in the end by ending the life of her abuser. Right at the beginning of the clip we see Rihanna gunning down a man in a crowded train station before flashing back to the day before and the events that led to his untimely demise. There are some strong content and visuals in this video. I am sure there are going to be some sort of backlash for the violence depicted in the visual. Some may go as far as to censor or ban the clip for being too suggestive of the type of violence woman can face in abusive relationships. We will see how it 'plays' out, for now take a look at the clip and see what you think. Too graphic, or just enough to truly paint the picture?
Anthony Mandler again is at the helm, directing this poignant clip.
"Man Down"
This video reminds me of Drake's "Find your love" video which was also directed by Mandler.
THOUGHTS???
