And you thought “S&M” was something! Bajan hitmaker Rihanna has released her most sultry video yet for her new ballad, “California King Bed.” In a marked departure from her uptempo hit “Only Girl (in the World),” the sixth single from her hit Loud album, is a slow-paced song about lovers growing apart. The short film, which was directed by Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles, features the scarlet-haired beauty lying between the sheets with a shirtless lover.
For those not in-the-know, RiRi’s been tapped as the official spokesmodel of skincare brand Nivea. The company, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2011, will feature “California King Bed” in a series of new commercial ads premiering this summer. The sexy islander performed the track for Nivea bosses during a company-sponsored event over the weekend.
