Here’s the Full Video for Rihanna’s New Song ‘Sledgehammer’
UPDATE: Video releases are a big, big deal again (or at least trying to be), thanks to artists like Kanye West and Rihanna, who—after teasing her new song ‘Sledgehammer’ earlier this week—premiered the full video at 9 a.m. Thursday in IMAX theaters, before releasing it to both Tidal and VEVO an hour later. The video—created for “Star Trek Beyond,” which is slated for a July 22 release—is definitely on-theme: terraforming canyons, orbs, and futuristic pantsuits. Take a look at the whole thing above.

There’s a new trailer for the “Star Trek Beyond” movie, which is cool and all, but the best thing about the clip is that it features a new Rihanna song, “Sledgehammer.”
Billboard reports that the song has been in the works for more than two years, referencing Rihanna’s cryptic tweet about it in 2014: “You’re just another brick and I’m a sledgehammer,” she wrote. Last night, she posted the teaser for it on Instagram and Twitter, but we, mercifully, did not have to wait long.
