Back in January we reported that Rihanna had registered a new song titled "A Night" for her upcoming album. Now a preview of that song has surfaced in an a behind-the-scenes segment for her Dior campaign, shot by legendary photographer Steven Klein. The track samples Florence + the Machine's 2011 song "Only If For A Night" off their album Ceremonials.
Rihanna's "A Night" warps Welch's original version into a choppy, trap-inflected number, however, the clip doesn't feature any notable vocals from the R8 singer, rather, it highlights the song's production.
Rihanna's partnership with Dior marks the first time a black woman has been named a spokesperson for the fashion house, which has a 69-year history. The clip is the fourth installment of the "Secret Garden" series. Similar to past "Secret Garden" films, the clip features Rihanna running through Versailles. The singer is filmed wearing all black with black accessories and pops of red on her lips and gloves. Later on, she is filmed spinning in circles in a cream-colored, ankle-length dress.
According to the ASCAP, the song lists Paul Epworth and Florence Welch with writing credits on the track.
Prior to "A Night," Rihanna released the Paul McCartney, Kanye West-featuring "FourFiveSeconds," "B*tch Better Have My Money," and "American Oxygen" as well as the Home soundtrack song "Towards The Sun" and a teaser of the song "Higher."
