Rihanna's New Video Is a Celebration of 'Bitches Twerking on Water'

“Her ass is just…it’s own life,” Rihanna says incredulously of one of the women. “We got her a dressing room and then we got her ass a dressing room.”

“I know when you listen to the song you think instantly, ‘stripper’, which it is, but I think it’s going to be very artistic the way they’re going to shoot it,” says the choreographer Othan Burnside. “It’s going to be very very sexy in a way that I don’t think has ever been done before.” Well, it’s definitely been done before in some capacity; one recent example that springs to mind is the video for the BenZel remix of Jessie Ware’s “If You Love Me” that includes ample footage of a stripper artistically dancing whilest riding the New York City subway.

In any case, “Pour It Up” looks like it’ll be mashing up what you’d see at a stripping competition with your typical video vixen behavior. It’ll definitely display some pretty insane feats of the human body, as indicated by the video Rihanna teased fans with a few days ago of the audition tape of the one of the women performing in “Pour It Up”, Nicole “The Pole” Williams. Make sure you watch the part where her body is literally on the ceiling.
