Rap-Up.com || Behind the Video: Rihanna – ‘Where Have You Been’

Rihanna keeps teasing with clips from her tribal-inspired video for “Where Have You Been.” In the latest behind-the-scenes footage, we get a closer look at the pop star in action during the epic 17-hour shoot. Dressed as a warrior princess, she shows off her fancy footwork while getting in step with her shirtless male co-stars. In another scene, a curly-haired RiRi joins her female dancers as smoke fills the room.

Check out the making of the video below. The premiere is set for Monday at 9 a.m. EST on VEVO.

She’s coming for all the others. THIS is how a video is done when you want to be considered a pop heavyweight. A-List material.

Take notes…No names mentioned.

Dave Meyers directs the BEST music videos this is gonna be one of Rihannas best to date for sure. The whole set up looked amazing. I dont know any other directors with the vision that Dave has all his videos are on point.

@True Story, Yeah i think Dave Meyers is the best music video director ever i like his videos a lot better than Hypes he deserves way more credit than he gets. Aaliyahs More Than A Woman video is still one of my favorite of all time and he directed it before her untimely passing.
