Rihanna

"Sledgehammer"

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Jun 27, 2016

Rihanna spent the spring taking her latest album ANTI on tour with some special friends, then teamed up with Calvin Harris for a summer smash titled "This Is What You Came For." Riri's not slowing down yet, though, and she's just unveiled a new song from the Star Trek: Beyond soundtrack.
 
It pairs an appropriately space-y cinematic beat with a dramatic vocal performance from the singer. The track was actually written by Sia, and although her signature acrobatic singing style manages to shine through, Riri definitely makes it her own.
 
Star Trek: Beyond is out on July 22, and you can see the latest trailer down below. You can also listen to a snippet of "Sledgehammer" from the soundtrack below, or head over to Tidal to stream the whole thing.
