Also, to the powers that be: I don't think anyone would complain about a Sia & RiRi collaboration in which both artists are actually singing together. So it's not completely out of character that the 'Sledgehammer' video has some pretty intense Sia vibes - nor is anyone complaining about this fact (and if you are, knock it off). Heck, according to Popsugar, Sia's new album This Is Acting has some tracks on it that were originally meant for Rihanna though they didn't make it onto Rihanna's album Anti, so it's clear these artists have some sort of connection. Rihanna has boldly gone to the soundtrack of Star Trek Beyond.The pop superstar released Sledgehammer on Monday, her new single written by Sia for the forthcoming space adventure. She also wrote Rihanna's hit, 'Diamonds' which has a similar exotic feel and works hard to exemplify the depth of Rihanna's range. The song plays over the films closing credits, but was not included in the soundtrack. Now, this development isn't too surprising, after all Sia wrote 'Sledgehammer' song for Rihanna to perform. 'Sledgehammer' is a promotional single written by Sia Furler, Jesse Shatkin and Robyn Rihanna Fenty aka Rihanna and performed by Rihanna for the main release of Star Trek Beyond.

But the most interesting thing about Rihanna's 'Sledgehammer' is that it looks a lot like a Sia music video.

The video, which features the song that debuted in the recent Star Trek Beyond trailer, finds RiRi on a desert planet casting some sort of alien magic and looking altogether otherworldly. Rihanna dropped her new music video for 'Sledgehammer' - which was written by Sia - for the 'Star Trek Beyond' soundtrack on Thursday. For those of us who had been sitting by our computers, waiting patiently for a new Rihanna music video after 'Work' ( work, work, work), the news that she officially dropped the video for 'Sledgehammer' was much appreciated. Sledgehammer Lyrics: I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low / Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor / They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes / Oh, what could I.
