Rihanna - Umbrella featuring Jay-z
So I said before that I didn’t like this track, but dammit it has grown on me….. The video looks nice but then most of rihannas video’s do (yes, that is a compliment). I love the fact that is has really clear shots and not so much the industry standard soft lense shots. The water would have looker more realistic if it had been less grey….the grey sorta makes it look real CGI…..
Now for the Silver paint sequence let me just say DAMN!!!! This is definately the best video this year from concept to execution. I don’t really want to compare to Beyaki but I have to say this. B has been blabbin her mouth off about how she tried to be original with her videos but Umbrella is so killin B’s swagger….
It’s been a hard week or so for Beyaki and I think it’s about to get harder……

I wasn’t sure at first, but I do believe now that Rihanna is here to stay.
