While it didn’t seem like the most natural combination at the time, the singer has now released an accompanying featurette explaining her fangirl love for the cult franchise. Wearing a vintage Star Trek t-shirt, the one-minute clip sees Riri explain how she first got into the intergalactic drama, and why she’s always been so drawn to it. “Star Trek has been in my life since I was a little girl,” she explains. "It was a world I didn't always understand but I could relate to.” Watch the full video below: The singer also tweeted a sneak preview of the song’s upcoming video – which will apparently be premiering at 10am EST time (around 2pm GMT) today. #SLEDGEHAMMERVIDEO tomorrow! 1st ever #IMAX music video debut at 9AM EST then watch @TIDALHiFi & @VEVO at 10AM EST! pic.twitter.com/uaupAsd1WG— Rihanna (@rihanna) June 29, 2016Escape the algorithm!
