MusicNewsRihanna’s Harmony Korine-directed video is hereThe singer drops an explosive music video for ‘Needed Me’ShareLink copied ✔️April 20, 2016MusicNewsTextTed Stansfield If you didn’t know already, today is 4/20 aka Pot Day. While Snapchat has somewhat misguidedly marked the occasion by debuting a ‘Bob Marley’ filter (which it might as well have called a ‘blackface’ filter), Rihanna is celebrating in a slightly different way: by dropping her Harmony Korine-directed music video for “Needed Me”. Earlier today, the singer teased the video with a series of Instagram posts, one of which was accompanied with the caption “Just because it’s 420.” The video itself features the star riding on the back of a motorcycle, striding through a strip club brandishing a gun and generally living up to her nickname, Bad Gal Riri. While the director, Harmony Korine, is primarily known for his work in film (he’s worked on Kids, Spring Breakers and Gummo), this isn‘t his first foray into music – he’s also directed the video Sonic Youth’s 1998 song “Sunday” and co-wrote Björk’s 2001 song “Vespertine”. “Needed Me” comes in the wake of her Steven Klein-directed music video for “Kiss It Better and, more recently, the announcement that there’s a Rihanna documentary in the works. The film – which is yet to have a release date – promises to offer an “unfiltered look into Rihanna’s life and how she’s ascended to become a global icon.” Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREA rare interview with POiSON GiRL FRiEND, dream pop’s future seerNigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’ InstagramIntroducing Instagram’s 2025 Rings winnersInside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universe7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix albumMoses Ideka is making pagan synth-folk from the heart of south London
