Just Press Play

R&B singer, Rihanna, has released her new music video for her single, Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova) just days before speaking out for the first time regarding her assault by then boyfriend, hip hop artist, Chris Brown. In the black and white music video, Rihanna portrays a very dark, edgy and hard look - wearing garters and a patch eye walking around New York.

Anthony Mandler,  who has directed Rihanna’s previous music videos such as “Hate That I Love You” (feat. Ne-Yo), “Disturbia” and the upcoming “Russian Roulette” was quoted in a recent interview with MTV, saying,

“We definitely talked about the song and the words behind it: the idea of taking her place back, in a bravado and aggressive way,” he said. “That’s why we went for a more classic hip-hop street feel. It’s an unusual approach for someone like Rihanna, but again, I’m never surprised by her desire to push the boundaries. This goes for all elements, not just what I’m doing behind the camera.”

Anyways, check out the Music Video for Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova) below:

I’m not feelin’ the song too much, though.. It didn’t get me groovin’ out of my seat. But kudos to her for making it through the tumultuous year, stronger and braver!
