Rihanna has released her music video for her new single “Needed Me,” and it’s everything you’ve come to expect from the latest incarnation of Rihanna: Emotions, sex, violence and of course, lots of nudity.
Rihanna continues her streak of releasing titillating music videos with today’s premiere of “Needed Me.” Directed by Harmony Korine, the short film has a strong Spring Breakers vibe, with speedboats, strippers, and masked criminals appearing throughout her dark reimagining of the song.
Korine has previously directed videos for the Black Keys, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, and others. “Needed Me” follows the double-video for “Work” with Drake, and last month’s “Kiss It Better” clip.
