Rihanna transforms into an alien with face tattoos for music video
Rihanna's latest music video features the Barbadian beauty as you've never seen her before.
The
28-year-old debuted the visuals for Sledgehammer in its entirety on
Thursday, a powerful ballad featured on the soundtrack for upcoming
space epic Star Trek Beyond.
Met
with high anticipation, Rihanna's Sledgehammer makes history as the
first-ever music video to be shot on IMAX cameras and later premiered in
an IMAX theater.
n the video, Rihanna takes on the role of an alien-like creature stationed on a desolate outer space planet.
Clad
in billowy orange robes that criss-cross over her body, the Grammy
winner writhes to the haunting track with her usual prowess.
Her
strange, tribal-inspired markings take center stage in an electric blue
pattern down the middle of her face. Rihanna also sports intricate arm
cuffs resembling molten metal.
Towards the
conclusion of the stunning video, the songstress dissolves into
shimmering particles before later transforming into a piece of the
galaxy.
Since
Rihanna first previewed the track days ago, she's expressed that her
passion for the wildly popular Star Trek series spans all the way back
to her childhood.
In a video featurette she
explained: 'Star Trek has been a part of my life since I was a little
girl,' nothing that her father was responsible for introducing her to
the franchise years ago.
'It just took me one episode to fall in love with this other world that I couldn’t understand but I felt I could relate to.
'[Star Trek] never left me,' she continued, adding: 'It wasn't like doing a song for any random film.'
Rihanna's
song - written by fellow pop star Sia - is the first music video shot
entirely with the ALEXA IMAX camera, which was used to capture the
gripping fight scene between Captain America and Iron Man in Captain
America: Civil War, to achieve a lifelike picture.
