After a six-year absence, Rihanna returned to the music Friday morning (October 28) with the heartfelt ballad, ‘Lift Me Up.’
One of two songs from the GRAMMY winner set to line the soundtrack of the upcoming ‘Black Panther’ sequel, ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ ‘Lift’ was written by Rih, ‘Panther’ director Ryan Coogler, Oscar winner Ludwig Göransson, and Nigerian superstar Tems as a tribute to late ‘Panther’ star Chadwick Boseman (who died from colon cancer in 2020).
Barely giving her dedicated fans, affectionately called the #Navy, time to catch their collective breaths, Rih has already lifted an ethereal accompanying music video for the touching tune.
Look inside for a glimpse at the Autumn Durald Arkapaw-directed clip.
The highly anticipated ‘Wakanda Forever’ soundtrack – produced by Coogler, Göransson, Archie Davis, Dave Jordan, and more – hits digital shelves November 4, just 1 week ahead of its parent film’s arrival in theaters.
Anybody that don’t like remember it’s a soundtrack. She is not gonna pon de replay for wakanda.
Keep those excuses handy hun. It’s still Rih Rih first lead single in 6 years. It’s making nooooooo noise 🥀
Black Panther 2 is an event and the soundtrack should match it. What’s more, it’s Rihanna’s first new music in years. The song just doesn’t cut it.
Not even 10K views in 2 hours????? WOW. Even Monica does better than that lmao
Next to Mary j. Bilge, Monica is the only other female R&b artist from the 90s to have a solid fan base that still supports her.
Is that so!! Where did Monica’s last few singles chart anywhere. Good Morning Gorgeous Atleast went #1 on the R&B charts. Fans must forgot to support🤣🤣🤣
Monica? A fan base that supports her where? Even Monica Stan said they don’t care about Trenches anymore lmaoooooooooo 🤣
That Beyonce character and Shayla are the same person. She’s the only lunatic that would mention Monica on a Rihanna post. It’s an obsession at this point. Seek help. Quickly.
Ok, Tongue’Shïtt. That’s what you do. Just stop talking 👅💩
When all else fails, accuse the accuser. You’re so simple minded. As I previously mentioned, seek help.
Try harder. Stalker.
Taylor has just sold over 1.5 million in a week. 1.1 million in pure sales!
We need a post in this legendly achievement.
Something Rihanna will never do because she’s a singles artist with broke fans (most of which have aged out or moved on to other artists) 🤪
Rihanna DID do a million first week with Anti… when she gave a million downloads away for FREE through Samsung lmaooooooooooo 🤣 So it didn’t count.
The song is a grower. I’m now a fan.
I love it yet its just a sound track lol. Idgaf what nobody expects. F*ck your expectations
This seems like such a non event. For it to be her first single in years while also being connected to The Black Panther, it’s not giving much. As for the song itself its not bad. It feels like a somber lullaby. I’m sure it’ll work within the context of the movie.
Her vocals don’t sound good. Those hums in the beginning shouldn’t have left the studio….
Forgettable trash. A child could have written it or better
Flop
Taylor Swift and Midnights are going nowhere for a long while. Did she not get the memo?
It’s a snooze fest 😴
Highly underwhelming and not even slightly memorable after it’s just finished playing
Sorry honey this is not it!
Gworrrrl what is this boring funeral mess ?!
Jheri Cworrrrl? 💀
Yas b**** eat my ass if you don’t like it k thanks bye
