'Work' is the first single from 'Anti', the new Rihanna
Yesterday the first single of the highly anticipated new album by Rihanna, 'Anti', a song titled 'Work', came out. and in which rapper Drake has collaborated - for the third time with the artist. 'Work' has caused a great division of opinion among the followers of Rihanna, and it is that those who expected to run into something in the style of 'Only Girl (in the World)' have ended up receiving a whole gentleman bucket of cold water.
This is like everything: a matter of taste. If you are one of those who expected the dancing and commercial Rihanna from the beginning, you may be disappointed. If, on the other hand, you were one of -the few- who received the songs 'Bitch better have my money' or 'American Oxygen' well, surely you applaud the arrival of 'Work', since follows almost completely in the footsteps of that «New Rihanna» of the last singles. Some voices speak of 'Work' as "A return to the origins" of the artist. To me, honestly, it seems to me that he continues very clearly the roll of his previous singles.
Nor is it to start to tremble or to exaggerate, so no taking the whip in the middle of the street while we cry and shout "You have failed me!" with every lash. Rihanna's new album 'Anti' seems to be confirmed as a different step; Whether it is forward or backward will depend on the taste of each one ... and sales, of course.
By the way, that 'Anti' is closer than many of us believed, and that is Billboard has given the release date for nothing more and nothing less than ... tomorrow! Rihanna already gave the clue that 'Anti' was about to fall a few days ago, when she published an image on Twitter, very simple all of her with her golden helmets and her little crown, listening to her new work, implying that it was finally finished .
