Rihanna made a lot of important choices in this video, choices that really explore the beauty of her Caribbean culture, and I think that's very important to note. Every aspect of this song was an intentional embrace of a culture that not many people have the privileged of seeing on a daily basis, and I love the fact that she did it unashamedly. And she did it so well that her music video actually felt like a variation of something you might see a Caribbean artist do in their home country. Sometimes it can feel like an artist is throwing in little pieces of their heritage in a very commercialized way or offhand way, Rihanna decided to focus on her heritage as the very center of this piece. The singer originally hails from the island of Barbados, so incorporating this as a main theme seems only fitting. From the outfits to the people, Rihanna's "Work" video has a strong Caribbean message that is too important to ignore. And, when I say beautiful, I mean beautiful. Not to mention, the first video - because it was literally two videos in one - is a beautiful celebration of her Barbadian culture. Everything from her music to her lyrics to the outfits to the downright attitude demands respect. ![]() All you have to do is watch the seven minute long (it's long, but worth it) music video for Rihanna's single "Work," and you will understand that this is a woman who is not to be trifled with.

She said she felt “somewhat selfish” for doing that to her son and looking out for her own happiness, per HuffPost. While speaking to Oprah Winfrey during the Adele One Night Only TV special that aired this week, Adele also explained how she was troubled by how Angelo might be affected by her and Konecki's separation. “I can’t make that make sense to a nine-year-old,” she told Vogue.

The emotional song contains recordings of herself and her nine-year-old son, Angelo, discussing her feelings about her breakup with Simon Konecki, Angelo's father. Adele really came for our feelings with “My Little Love,” the soulful third track on her new album 30. ![]()
