Rihanna released “Work,” her new single with Drake, on Wednesday. Listen below!
The unexpected premiere came at exactly 8 a.m., with the singer announcing on Twitter, “FIRST SINGLE #WORK ft. @Drake from #ANTI is here!! Listen up.” Accompanying the tweet was the song’s cover art, which features Rihanna topless, but her breasts blocked by her arms as she uses her hands to cover her eyes. As of yet, Drake hasn’t mentioned the new collaboration.
Rihanna dropped the track two days after teasing followers she was “listening to ANTI” with a photo that showed her wearing gold and jewel-encrusted headphones. The star still hasn’t revealed a release date for the album, which has had a number of rumored drop dates that all turned out to be untrue. Now there’s new speculation the record will come out by Friday.
And with Rihanna calling “Work” the “first single,” that may mean “FourFiveSeconds,” “Bitch Better Have My Money,” and “American Oxygen” aren’t on it. All three songs were released last year, and were thought to be singles from the album. Numerous reports, however, have said Rihanna has changed course several times. The “Anti World Tour” is slated to begin at the end of February, so the clock is ticking.
Rihanna and Drake, of course, go way back. The longtime friends and sometime couple previously collaborated on the number one song “What’s My Name?” in 2010, as well as his song “Take Care” in 2012. Listen to “Work” below!
