Rihanna debut the video to her lead single “Diamonds” off of her seventh studio album ‘UnApologetic‘ . The singer premiered the video on MTV last night, and stated that she wanted the video to evoke the “right emotion” of the song title.
“With every song it’s a different story, so the visuals are very specific to that story and that world. With ‘Diamonds,’ it was just a series of vignettes that we put together to help get the emotion across throughout the song ’cause the song changes and it builds, and there’s no real way that you could do that,” she explained. “You just want people to feel that and I wanted little cutaways of interactions that would give you the right emotion.”
In the Anthony Mandler directed video, Rihanna floats on a sea of water , she sings in the deserts along with two horses, red rose burns in flames in another scene, and Ri-Ri- also has her solo black/white moments where she’s just singing the words of the song with conviction.
