Rihannas sixth US single(fourth international) from her album "Laud" is written by Priscilla Renea, Alex Delicata and co-written/produced by The Runners.
The song is a power ballad of the type that usually accompany you typical American rom-com. It plays on being a power ballad with some piano and thrown in electric guitars in the chorus, but Rihannas emotional vocals telling us a story about a relationship on the verge of a break-up overshadows those cliché bits thankfully which in the end make us end up with the result of a very nice and infectious song overall.
In the beginning of March Rihanna let her fans choose the next single via Twitter out of 4 songs, and "California King Bed" was the winner. Now she's gone and recorded a video for it with director Anthony Mandler who also has done music videos for Rihanna in the past like "Unfaithful", "Disturbia", "Russian Roulette" and "Only Girl (in the world)".
And as in "Only Girl" she has her retreated to nature. The video is shot in a luxurious beach house, and begins with a shot of Rihanna herself laying down in grass. This is followed by her own and her partner holding each other closely in bed, sitting on different sides of a large bed, and other scenes featuring Rihanna singing through sheer curtains and drapery.
