Will You “Stay” For Rihanna?

Ah, I keep forgetting: Rihanna’s a singer!

In spite of all of the crazy (and there’s a lot of crazy), the Barbadian superstar managed to take a moment of pause to release a new music video for the song “Stay” off of her seventh album, Unapologetic.

Actually, she released two — there’s a one-take version as well.

The song features Mikky Ekko, a indie pop singer.

While from a visual standpoint, it’s actually quite beautiful in it’s simplicity, I have to ask an honest question: seven albums in, is the world really ready for Serious Rihanna?

Yeah, she’s dabbled with it somewhat before (“Unfaithful”, “Russian Roulette” and the still powerful and Grammy winning “We Found Love”), but I think my main problem now is that it’s taken her way too many albums to apparently want to be taken as a true musician. But that’s just my thought.

Check out the clip for yourself after the jump and make your own assumptions.

Also, don’t get too used to this track — she’s said to be releasing a video for the song’s double-A side, “Pour It Up”, very soon.
