Get your first look at Rihanna’s upcoming video for “Rude Boy” that premieres Thursday!!

“[It's] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” she told Carson Daly on his Amp Radio show. “A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots.”

“We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type,” she added. The video is directed by Melina Matsoukas and reportedly will be premiered in early February.

Billboard:

The Billboard office has seen its share of arguments, but few have been as heated as our recent discussion about the sexiest people in music. Many names were tossed around, and it quickly became apparent that one person’s “totally hot!” is another’s “absolutely not!” So before we started turning over desks and strangling each other with headphone cords, we decided to turn this deabate over to the real experts: you.

Vote now and vote often — the results will be revealed by Valentine’s Day.

Little girl seven years old
faught disease never herd of
lived her life like you and me
give the hope so she’ll be free

But some of us are not so strong
and to the family all belong
some of us are deeply weak
but we still for hope all together seek

Jasmina is still with us, can’t see her but she sees us
In heaven where she belongs x2
Jasmina is still with us, can’t see her but she sees us, now I got are these photographs

All I’ve got, all I’ve got
All I’ve got are these photographs
All I’ve got, all I’ve got, It’s nothing without you
you, you, got nothing without you, you , you
got nothing without you

Rihanna was among the celebrities who submitted a request for funding to Pepsi’s Refresh Project, which doles out $20 million to various causes, and was at the foundation’s kickoff party Friday night during Super Bowl festivities. The singer is trying to raise money for DKMS, which tries to find bone marrow donors for those suffering from leukemia.

“If we win, this would really help us recruit 4,000 individual donors,” she said.

For Rihanna, the connection is personal. She was active last year in trying to find donors for 6-year-old Jasmina Amena, who died last month. They became friends.

“She was a very free, fun spirited little girl, full of energy, always happy, always energetic,” Rihanna said. “I always remember she wouldn’t sit still. She was always running around, always had a smile on her face.”
