Rihanna - Disturbia (New Video)

"Disturbia" is a song written by Andre Merritt, Rihanna, Chris Brown, and Robert Allen for the re-release of Rihanna's third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad, and is the third single from the re-release, following "Take a Bow" and "If I Never See Your Face Again" and the seventh single from the actual album. The song was produced by Brian Kennedy with background vocals by Chris Brown and Andre Merritt. Contrary to popular belief, Rihanna uses an Auto-Tune, not a vocoder throughout the song. Watch the video below.



The video for Disturbia was filmed late June 2008. The edgy video begins with Rihanna spinning in a chair, followed by a scene where she is trapped in a cage, wearing a short blonde wig and catlike light blue contact lenses which cover her scleras entirely. There are additional scenes of her on a throne-like chair covered in chains, flanked by two dancers. When the chorus begins, Rihanna is lifted into the air by her dancers in front of a bright light. Throughout this portion of the video, there are shots of her on a table wearing heavy black eye make up and dancing inside a bed frame.

Then, Rihanna is shown leaning against a wooden post, her arms bound to a pole and her face and shoulders covered in dirt; followed by a scene where she is laying on a sofa with a mannequin. There are then shots of her in a small room, her arms stuck inside holes in the wall as a tarantula crawls onto her shoulder. During the breakdown of the song, Rihanna is shown in a concrete room with a low ceiling, sitting in a chair while her arms and legs are chained to the floor. The video then ends in the same atmosphere it began.[4] The video was released to iTunes on 22 July 2008. The Video has so far reached number one on the iTunes Music Video Chart in the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and the United States, 2 in New Zealand, Germany, Canada and 5 in amongst others...
