Laying it bare: Rihanna appears with little make-up and looking vulnerable and naked in the bathtub in the pared down video for her new single Stay
She is well known for her sassy lyrics, catchy pop songs and vigorous dance routines. But it is a very different Rihanna who appears in the video to accompany her new single Stay.
The 24-year-old singer strips off for a soak in the bath for the duration of the heartfelt song.
Appearing completely barefaced – Rihanna looked vulnerable and downbeat as she adopted a less raunchy guise to sing her emotional ballad.
