Listen to Rihanna's Empowering New Song "Towards the Sun"
While we get hyped up for Rihanna's eighth album, pop's baddest chick has a handful of new tracks coming coming very soon. The singer is not only a lead voice actor on upcoming DreamWorks' animated film Home, but also recorded a concept album based around the film. The first song from the soundtrack, "Towards the Sun," surfaced today.
Rih opens the tune with near-operatic vocals to build to an empowering chorus, singing "Turn your face towards the sun / Let the shadows fall behind you." Military drums, tribal calls and anthemic chants are added to the mix to give the song a very, appropriately, cinematic feel. Listen below:
