While ‘Sledgehammer’ is by no means Rihanna’s most acclaimed work – it was originally penned by Sia – the track is still no small feat, spearheading the music from the upcoming Star Trek: Beyond film. The soaring ballad reaches new heights with the other-worldly visuals, which see RiRi as the solitary figure on a faraway planet, singing in the midst of purple haze, stars and other alien forces of Mother Nature. Yep, Rihanna still slays in outer space just as much as she does on Planet Earth – facepaint game on point.
While Rihanna is currently bringing her ANTI tour to Europe, let’s hope that Australian dates are announced sooner rather than later. Watch ‘Sledgehammer’ and the latest Star Trek: Beyond trailer below:
