For her video that is, her new video for just-released single ‘We Found Love,’ which seems to be an almost-spin-off of her former relationship with Chris Brown. The dude in the video even has the same hairstyle and color as Chris had at one point. The only thing that appears to be different is that I don’t think Rihanna puked ribbons, and I don’t think Chris Brown was as soulful as this guy is (he doesn’t have a soul, remember?).
The video itself is pretty neat and there are a lot of cool visuals. However, it hits just a little bit too close to home to be comfortable with, and I don’t think the Chris Brown comparisons are going to stop here.
This is a great video. It’s kind of nice to see her doing something with a bit more substance.
I agree with Stacey.
If Rihanna continues in this vein I see her following a Madonna-like career path—pushing the envelope, setting trends and defining her sexuality as she feels fit. She reminded me very much of a young Madonna in this video.
