Rihanna releases ‘Work’ on the heels of her world tour

“Work, work, work, work, work,” Rihanna woozingly croons over an understated synth backing track on her new single, ‘Work’. It seems as the star’s long awaited new album, Anti is well on its way, Or is it?

Student Thoughts: Tyler Perry Films – Reckless Stereotyping
