Behind The Scenes: Rihanna – ‘What Now’ Video

Published: Wednesday 13th Nov 2013 by Sam

48 hours separate Rihanna fans from the model’s latest video – ‘What Now’.

In a bid to whip up buzz for the visual, which serves as the fourth to be lifted from the Roc rebel’s ‘Unapologetic’ LP, the 25-year-old has unwrapped a behind the scenes look.

 Feast on the preview below ahead of Friday’s full course.

Boring song and, by the looks of it, and an equally tired video. Yawn.

Your thoughts?

  4. Davis November 13, 2013

    FLOPP she dragged this mess of an era out so she wouldn’t have to compete with anyones releases. #TRANSPARENT.

    • Mark111 November 13, 2013

      Like who? Katy was last month (and done well), so was Miely. No one is talking about Gag gag, plus the other two girls killed this era for her. Britney can’t even crack the top ten, Bey is nowhere to be seen and those other R&B chicks isn’t worth a mention.

      • Davis November 13, 2013

        Its November and they all have better first week sales than her.

  5. Starships November 13, 2013

    I’m Ecstatic And Beyond Excited For This Song, I’m glad it Got The Single treatment. 😀

    Rock Me Out More and More ,Riri.

  15. Tash November 13, 2013

    Lol Rihanna stretched out this era so she wouldn’t have to go up against Katy Gaga and Miley.

  16. Kisses Down Low November 13, 2013

    She looks like Herman Munster

  17. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) November 13, 2013

    I may drag her at times when she NEEDS it, but I love the dark look on Rihanna. Rated R will forever be her best album but “What Now” actually sounds kinda decent, I never heard this song as I don’t check for her music like that post Talk That Talk..

    • Britney stan November 13, 2013

      What now is actually an amazing song her song off of unapologetic.

      • Britney stan November 13, 2013

        Best

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) November 13, 2013

        I will check it out then. I haven’t been impressed with anything by her since Loud..

  18. Britney stan November 13, 2013

    Looks boring plus I seriously hate the hair.

  19. MusicFan November 13, 2013

    What happen to “being the fair and unbiased site” you claimed to be? This is one of my favorite songs on the album. For somebody who anti-stand for Ri so hard, he stays on her sick ALL the time. Rihanna farts, thatgrapejuice is on it!

  20. Krista November 13, 2013

    Too little too late. Just looks like a darker version of You Da One. And the song is boring also.

  21. ARTPOP WILL FLOP November 13, 2013

    The queen is here to stay.

  22. rih rox((U mad Bro?))(( stanning for H20’s previous rant)) November 13, 2013

    🙂

  23. Dreamlover November 13, 2013

    I actually am not too big of a fan of this song, but it’s been growing on me. The music video seems like it will be simple, which is good. Rihanna’s visuals are so underrated. Her music videos are some of the best pop music videos out today. Diamonds, We Found Love, Te Amo, Umbrella, Hard, Only Girl in the World are artistic masterpieces. So I have high hopes for this video treatment. Should slay. “What Now” is already slowly climbing up iTunes. Should reach the top 20 at least, especially if she promotes it with live performances (which she should be able to do now that her tour is wrapping up. You go girl!

  24. READY November 13, 2013

    Favorite song off Unapologetic! Surprised they’re still pushing the Unapologetic era but ey, I ain’t complaining. As boring as the video looks, hopefully it’s at least some kind of cute visual.

  25. Auntie_Jackie November 13, 2013

    LOVE this song. Video looks cool, too. It may creep up the charts even though it’s late. She needs time to re-invent herself again, and I’m excited to see what she comes up with next in the face of Miley – Derivative – Cyrus.

  26. Sisqo is a legend November 13, 2013

    THE WHAT NOW SLAYAGE IS COMING!!!!!

  27. RihBoy November 13, 2013

    its funny how all the negative comments are derived around how late she is making a video….firstly, she already made her coin off of this album…let alone her tour….so why do you guys think it matters so much that she is putting out a video this late. At this point she is just having fun…and doing this like drinking a glass of water…this is down time for her. Its a really good song with a story behind it. Nothing about it is generic compared to some of the sloppy s*** that some mainstream artist are putting out. Don’t take out your frustration of no new music…or the love of your flopping fave on riri…she is still winning. Even if this video wasnt to get a ton of views…it doesnt matter she is still reigning champion vevo certified..with or without it. Records are being broken….while your faves add on tour dates and or smoke blunts on stage to stay on someones headline.

  28. Rihanna # 1 Fan T November 13, 2013

    very funny i bet if it was beyonce that grape juice wouldnt say its boring///standing on the sun was a horrible song but yah still praise it….

    • RihBoy November 13, 2013

      exactly….grown woman and standing on the sun..could have been written by a toddler……they were both generic mishaps…which is why she pulled the scrap card this round……she knows that if she put out any of that hood ratchet crap nobody would have been checking for her. Bey is so boring now..but no one wants to see it….im sure before he album drops there will be some sort of gimmic to help sell….we all know she will need after 4 sales

  29. Mwah November 13, 2013

    Coincidental how theres no album 8 this year with all the releases around the same time eh Ri?

    • RihBoy November 13, 2013

      checking in huh..its ok she will probably drop one for spring…..its ok..you better indirectly stan

      • Mwah November 13, 2013

        yah please yourself

  30. Mwah November 13, 2013

    And I agree with you Sam.

  31. JER November 13, 2013

    Not a BeYAWNce stan calling anything boring.

  32. MusicLover November 13, 2013

    I am not surprised that she is not releasing a new album for this november. Every november in the past she release a new album all the time. The best album is rated r and good girl gone bad.

  33. Love Life November 13, 2013

    Bye! Unapologetic is so dead now. Shes proved she cant drag out eras well because it becomes dry as hell. She constantly needs to be pushing out music and videos like a conveyer belt.

    • RihBoy November 13, 2013

      Your point is….if you make good music that will sell….why not make your coin. Oh because bey takes five year breaks and put out a boring ep, with stolen visuals, Rih must follow suite. Nah im going where the money is. For someone who didnt get her footing from being in a group/ in which majority of her success was made(beyonce), Rihanna is doing fairly well. She has accomplished plenty and broken records coming up against some of the greats.

      • Love Life November 13, 2013

        Where did I mention Beyoncé?

      • Beywhoyawanna November 13, 2013

        LoveLife didn’t even mention Beyonce, yet you somehow decided to mention her on your own. But its all good because you know deep down Beyonce is Rihanna competition. Chew on that b****!!

    • Rihanna # 1 Fan T November 13, 2013

      bye to you with that crap… unapologetic is not dead… !!!

      GET YAH LIFE.. YAH JUST SOME RIHANNA HATERS

  34. X,Y and Z November 13, 2013

    RihSHITanna is a mega wack b****. Pic looks stupid and I’m sure the video will be another lame one. Instead of making late vids to songs nobody is checking for, she needs to enroll in some kind of performance arts seminar to help improve her severely lacking “skills”.

    X,Y and Z — Out!

    • *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* November 14, 2013

      Why Don’t U tell your Fav to Enroll in Some Anger-management session ?

  35. MusicLover November 14, 2013

    Unapologetic album wasn’t dead she had lots of good songs on there. I like Stay, Diamonds, Nobody’s business and What now. But i still think Good girl gone bad and Rated r was her best albums. Maybe she is waiting to release an album by next year who knows.

  36. Jaysus November 14, 2013

    LOL its actually one of the stand out songs on Unapologetic. If you don’t like it then why do you stay checking???

    Nobody forces you to post Rihanna news but obviously she’s the only artist that cang get you enough hits to get your tedious blog alive.

    Now run along and hop on another tired d*** because youre doing nobody a favour by remaining on Rihanna’s

    • Biting Truth November 14, 2013

      Rihanna has a d***? I knew it that non-singing drag queen looking ho was Crying Game. So now I guess even Mister Cee has hit that.

  37. mypenizfresh November 14, 2013

    Hmm..

    I like ‘What Now’.. but when they said they were filming in Thailand, I was expecting beautiful scenery.. more visual of the actual country… not a warehouse. I also feel like the visuals this era have been sparse in material. Based on gut reaction, it looks like a poor man’s version of Madonna’s ‘Frozen’.. But it’s Rihanna..

    Roll on Album #8 (.. you know its coming)
