There's twerking... and then there's the twerking Rihanna and her crew of female dancers pull off in her "Pour It Up" video, which premiered on Wednesday (October 2) after several days of eye-catching teasers.
Rihanna
serves as a stripping ringleader in the dreamy and dark visual which
takes place in a surreal strip club, where the ladies twerk and pole
dance over a pool of water. Rihanna not only takes to the pole herself —
sporting a long, curly wig and white fringed one-piece — but also
oversees her underworld, makes it rain and twerks from an ornate throne.
And if you needed one more buzzworthy moment, she gives it to you.
The video closes out with a close-up on the singer twerking in water
while smoking a cigarette.
Of course, before the video even premiered, Rihanna was boasting all about the video's eyebrow-raising chorography
that pays homage to strip clubs. "I bet you never seen bitches twerk on
water. My bitches twerk on water," she said in a behind-the-scenes
featurette for the video, which Rihanna directed. The video also
features appearances from dancers Nicole "The Pole" Williams, Candace
Cane and Secret Moneii. As for the video's treatment, Rih added that
it's a "No-basic zone. No basics."
Shortly after Rihanna debuted
the clip, her Navy quickly offered up their reviews of it on Twitter.
Their takeaway? It's "perfect" and Rihanna is "everything."
