Rihanna's new 'Work' video requires a double take

Off Riri's highly anticipated 'ANTI', the full 'Work' music video has just dropped. It's a sexy serving of Rihanna and Drake, double dipped.

The preliminary portion of the video, directed by the famed Director X, takes place in a narrow Caribbean club complete with ambient lighting and glistening, gyrating dancers. The setting is gritty and decorated with half-empty bottles. Rihanna and Drake perform their respective verses among the crowds and in intimate face-to-face scenes.

Mid-video the plot seems to shut down, a mock loading bar appearing across the screen. Next up, a cleaner, brighter episode of the same track directed by Tim Erem. Rihanna dances as a fluid silhouette to a neon pink backdrop, skin shimmering in a sheer top and cut off denim skirt. Behind her, Drake admires while seated on a couch, gazing at Riri's dancing body. The two embrace as the hook unfolds, making for another steamy 'ANTI' scene.

Rihanna's full 'ANTI' album is now out on iTunes, TIDAL, Amazon and Google.
