Rihanna throws fans several metaphors in her “Diamonds” music video.
“You’re a shooting star I see / A vision of ecstasy / When you hold me, I’m alive / We’re like diamonds in the sky,” Rihanna sings as interspersed scenes of her running down a dark road, floating in the sea and standing amidst ruins flash across the screen in the video which debuted on MTV Thursday.
What does it all mean? You tell us.
The 24-year-old R&B singer revealed collaborations with Chris Brown, Eminem and David Guetta for her upcoming seventh studio album, Unapologetic, out Nov. 19. “Diamonds,” her first single off the new album, is sitting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Listen to “Nobodies Business,” her duet with Chris Brown.
The new album will be Ri-Ri’s seventh album in seven years, following 2011′s Talk That Talk, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced “We Found Love,” “Where Have You Been” and “Cockiness.”
Rihanna will take a group of fans and journalists on a seven-day tour across seven countries starting Nov. 14. She’ll hit the road again starting March 8 when she kicks off her Diamonds World Tour in Buffalo, N.Y. The North American leg will take her to 27 cities in the United States and Canada before wrapping up in Brooklyn, N.Y. May 4.
