Murder, mob wars, and mansions - all in a days work for the residents of Port Charles, New York.Rihanna is taking no prisoners when it comes to her newest album Anti. The singer said to Vogue in April 2016 about her singing on this track, 'You get what I'm saying, but it's not all the way perfect.This is the track listing from his 1960 album: Side One: 1. This song has Rihanna using Jamaican Patois where 'work' means 'sex', 'haffi' is 'have to' and 'ah go' is 'going to'.

It also felt very natural. Music Video.The singer originally hails from the island of Barbados, so incorporating this as a main theme seems only fitting. Related artists: Rihanna, Belibers song, Brenda song, Eurovision song contest, Milka love song, New songSong.

To begin with, the colors really added to the environment. And she has welcomed us into it.Rihanna made a lot of important choices in this video, choices that really explore the beauty of her Caribbean culture, and I think that's very important to note. Every aspect of this song was an intentional embrace of a culture that not many people have the privileged of seeing on a daily basis, and I love the fact that she did it unashamedly. And she did it so well that her music video actually felt like a variation of something you might see a Caribbean artist do in their home country.

This was a cool way for even me to learn more about a different culture. On top of that, all of the people in the video were people of color, people of the culture.Being an African-American woman myself, I sometimes find myself disconnected to the ways in which other primarily black cultures outside of America celebrate their heritage. The food that was being prepared in one shot was jerk chicken, a Caribbean delicacy. Then, there's the fact that almost all of the dances that the partygoers were seen doing in the music video were actually dances that are commonly done at parties across the Caribbean. While subtle, it added to the overall ambiance of the video, and really made it clear that this video was a cultural celebration. Then, there was the lighting and wall colors, which had the same theme of yellow, green, and red.

For Rihanna to take 'Work' from simply being a song with a Caribbean sound to being a song attached to a music video that, at least in the beginning, takes the song to her home so her people can dance to it was inspiring to me as a woman of color.
