"We Found Love"
Song

"We Found Love" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk (2011). The song features Scottish singer-songwriter Calvin Harris. "We Found Love" was released as the lead single from the album and premiered on September 22, 2011, in the United Kingdom on the Capital FM radio station and was made available to download on the same day. The song has met with mixed reviews from music critics, who praised the song's composition and Rihanna's vocal performance, however, some critics felt that the lyrical content was sparse and came second to Harris' production.

"We Found Love" debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and reached number one in its sixth week on the chart, giving Rihanna the record for a solo artist to have amassed twenty top-ten singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 in the shortest amount of time. With the song becoming the singer's eleventh number one single, Rihanna has become only the seventh artist in the 53 year history of the chart to amass at least eleven number one singles, as well as tying her with Whitney Houston in third place for females with the most number one singles, behind only Madonna (12) and Mariah Carey (18). The song has also peaked at 5 and 15 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs and Pop Songs charts, respectively. Elsewhere, "We Found Love" peaked at number one in New Zealand, Denmark, France, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and has attained top-five positions in Australia, Italy, Belgium and South Korea.

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Melina Matsoukas and presents Rihanna's relationship with her boyfriend as being like a drug and how their addiction to each other results in the singer leaving her boyfriend because of his possessive nature. The video received a mixed response from critics, with some praising its cinematic feel, whilst others criticized some of the explicit material, such as sexual bedroom antics and implied use of drug taking and overdoses. Although critics were divided in their response, the majority concurred that the content of the video strongly alludes to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna, with the male love interest in the video also looking very similar in regards to his physical appearance.

Scottish singer-songwriter and DJ Calvin Harris produced the song.

Following the release and success of Rihanna's previous studio album, Loud (2010), the singer revealed via Twitter that the album would be re-issued with new songs and released in Fall 2011, writing that "[t]he [Loud era] continues with more new music to add to [your] collection".[1][2] In September 2011, Rihanna took to Twitter to confirm that plans for a re-issue of Loud had been scrapped, with the singer tweeting "I [thought about] a [re-release], but LOUD is its own body of work! Plus [you] guys work so [fucking] hard that [you] deserve to act brand new".[3] On September 19, 2011, Rihanna further provoked excitement amongst her followers on twitter when the singer posted that she was listening to the song, only to be re-tweeted by Harris, who replied "Sometimes it feels like we find love in the most hopeless place", suggesting that his response contained possible lyrics from the song.[4] In an interview with Capital FM radio, Harris explained that followers of Rihanna on twitter had sent messages to him regarding their expectations of the song, saying "The song better not be rubbish", which Harris interpreted as slightly threatening, but went on to say that "it's all part of the fun".[5] "We Found Love" premiered in the United Kingdom on September 22, 2011, on Capital FM radio,[6] and was sent for mainstream adds on October 11, 2011.[4][7][8] The song was released via iTunes on September 22, 2011.[9] The song was produced by Scottish singer-songwriter Calvin Harris.[10][11]

Artwork

The artwork for "We Found Love" was released by Rihanna's official Facebook page on September 22, 2011.[12] Grady Smith of Entertainment Weekly's The Music Mix criticized the song's artwork, writing "'We found love in a hopeless place,' Rihanna repeats over a David Guetta-ish synth beat. But judging by the single cover, her place doesn't look too hopeless, does it? Maybe there's a building on fire outside the frame, and that fire hydrant doesn't work. I guess that would be hopeless."[13] A reviewer for Sugar Magazine wrote that "On anyone else this would be a pretty odd look but Rihanna somehow makes a denim overload look good".[14] A reviewer for Neon Limelight commented that Rihanna appeared to be adopting a tomboy image for the new project, writing, "She really is going for that sexy tomboy look this album era it seems; remember the laid back look she rocked on the single's cover art?".[15]

Composition

"We Found Love" is a mid-tempo electro house and dance-pop song.[18][19] Amanda Dobbins of New York magazine praised the composition of the song, writing "Harris's electro fingerprints are all over this one — it plays like a straight house track, with some dreamy Rihanna vocals added in over the beat."[20] Robbie Daw of Idolator commented on the song's lyrics, with particular emphasis on the line "We found love in a hopeless place", writing that it is possibly the best lyric in pop music so far in 2011.[21] Glen Gamboa of Newsday criticized the lack of lyrics in the song, but praised the songs composition, writing that it is a "club anthem song" which consists of Rihanna chanting "We found love in a hopeless place" throughout most of the song, which Gamboa described as “poignant and sweetly triumphant”.[22] Gamboa went on to write that "'We Found Love' is a more streamlined, mainstream version of dubstep, though it does keep some unique electronic loops and complicated rhythms."[22] Leah Collins of The Vancouver Sun praised Rihanna's vocal performance in the song, writing that the singer "smoothes out her vocals for this cut — dropping a 'Fly' coo instead of an 'Only Girl (In the World)' crow."[23] However, Amos Barshad of Grantland criticized the singer's vocal performance, calling it "a complete afterthought".[17] Scott Shelter of PopCrush commented on the songs composition, writing "The celebratory song boasts a light, breezy melody and lyrics about a couple who make love out of nothing at all."[24] Scott went on to write about the instrumentation of "We Found Love", writing that the song incorporates electronic synths throughout the song, and that it "is danceable but feels much brighter than a typical club banger".[24] Priya Elan of NME also praised the songs composition and Rihanna's vocal performance, writing that Harris appears to be "channelling" production team Stargate's "trancey keyboard work", which is apparent on one of Rihanna previous singles, "Only Girl (In the World)", but noted that the composition of "We Found Love" is in a different key.[16] With regard to Rihanna's vocal performance, Elan noted that the singer sounds "extremely relaxed" and that her vocals are "luxurious", and compared Rihanna's vocal performance to that of a non-single track from Loud, "Complicated".[16]

Critical reception

The song was met with a mixed response by music critics, with the simplified lyrical content generally polarizing critics. A reviewer for Instinct magazine praised the song, writing "[it] boasts a higher-energy, peak-hour vibe."[25] Michael Cragg of The Guardian commented that the song is in the same vein as one of Rihanna's previous singles, "Only Girl (In the World)", with regard to its dance beat.[26] Cragg also likened the song to Leona Lewis's recent single, "Collide", but criticized the song's structure, writing "the song structure is slightly odd, with the first chorus almost being sidelined in favour of a large chunk of Harris's riff (that would explain the 'feat'), before they join on the second chorus."[26] Glen Gamboa of Newsday also compared "We Found Love" to material by Kylie Minogue, whom Harris is known for collaborating with frequently.[22] A reviewer for GlobalGrind commented about "We Found Love"'s lyrics, suggesting that there is perhaps an underlying message in the song for ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, in the line "We found love in a hopeless place".[27] This further raised suspicion when Brown re-tweeted one of Rihanna's tweets, which read "Sometimes it feels like we found love in the most hopeless place".[27][28] Priya Elan of NME commented on "We Found Love" with regard to it being chosen as the lead single from the album, writing that it "breaks the mold" from previous lead singles from Rihanna's albums, because of the songs lack of shock factor that the singers previous lead singles have had, writing "By now it's pretty customary to have a jaw-on-the-floor reaction to the first single from a Rihanna album. 'Pon de Replay', 'SOS', 'Umbrella', 'Russian Roulette', 'Only Girl (In the World)' ... is 'We Found Love' the first one to break the spell?".[16] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone was critical of the song, writing it is the "worst single of Rihanna's career", but noted that it would probably still do well commercially.[29]

Music video

Background and development

One of the filming locations was on a farmer's field in County Down, Northern Ireland, where filming of the video was halted when the field's owner, Alan Graham, expressed distaste with Rihanna exposing her breasts on his land.

The music video for "We Found Love" was shot on September 26, 27 and 28, 2011, in County Down, Northern Ireland.[63] The video was shot in a field in the town of Bangor, County Down, ahead of Rihanna embarking on the European leg of the Loud Tour[63] and was directed by Melina Matsoukas,[64] who had previously directed the videos for "Rude Boy" (2010), and the controversial "S&M" (2011).[65][66] During filming, a number of residents driving around the location of the set called the BBC to inform them that traffic in the area was congested, due to drivers trying to catch a glimpse of the singer.[63] Pictures of Rihanna leaked onto the internet the same day, which featured Rihanna wearing "a red bandana top, long flannel shirt, and dirty denim", reminiscent of the song's artwork,[67] with additional scenes of the singer wearing "an American flag bikini, denim vest, and ripped jeans".[67] The owner of the field, Alan Graham, expressed distaste with regard to Rihanna exposing her breasts on his field, and asked the crew to stop filming, saying "When the filming did become to my mind unacceptable I requested the filming to stop ... it became apparent to me that the situation was becoming inappropriate and I requested them to stop and they did".[68] As the farmer requested that shooting of the video be halted, the shoot location was moved to a closed set in Titanic Quarter, Belfast, on September 28, 2011, where the video's filming was continued, without photographers or fans being allowed to see any of what was being shot.[69]

It was reported that extras were not told about what was expected of them until a very short time period beforehand, in order to keep the content of the video as secret as possible.[69] Rap-Up reported that the video was reminiscent of the lead single from Rihanna's previous album Loud, "Only Girl (In the World)", which also featured Rihanna in the state of nature in a number of scenes including fields and hillsides.[70][71] With regard to the video's content, Rihanna posted a message on her twitter account writing "I really can't stop thinking about this video we just shot! EASILY [sic] the BEST [sic] video I've done thus far!"[72] Rihanna further elaborated upon the concept of the video, saying "We've never done a video like this before. This is probably one of the deepest videos I've ever done ... its all about love and love being like a drug, you definitely get that from this."[73] The male love interest in the video is model and former boxer Dudley O'Shaughnessy.[74] Upon the release of the video, Matsoukas explained the content of the video in an interview with MTV:

We love, obviously, to do provocative imagery ... we always try to definitely push the limits ... I think because, in the end, it's not really at all about domestic violence. It's really just about it being toxic, and they're on this drug trip and that definitely plays a part, but I think it's also about being triumphant over those weaknesses, and she leaves him. It's not trying to glorify that type of relationship. The bad parts of it, that's what you don't want. In the end, her leaving, it represents her getting that out of her life. The drugs and the addiction and the toxic — that's what brings her downfall and brings a lot of harm.[75]

Also in the interview, the director went on to explain the content with regard to Rihanna's domestic violence experience, saying that it is not a reenactment of the singer's past experience, but rather that Rihanna is acting in the video, saying:

[The song's] totally rave-y ... and that's the feeling, just music rushing over you, and then I started thinking about drugs and addiction and love and how that's an addiction ... we've all lived the ups and downs of being in a toxic relationship. It's really about the obstacles of trying to let it go, but at the same time how great it makes you feel, so it's hard to let it go. Again, it goes back to a story that we all can relate to ... It's not Rihanna's story; it's her story in the video, and she's acting. But everybody's [as well]. Obviously, there's a lot of comparisons to her real life, and that's not at all the intention. It's just that I guess people naturally go there because art imitates life, and it's a story we all relate to and we've all experienced. Like, it's based on my life; it's based on her life; it's based on your life, like, everybody.[75]

Synopsis

A screenshot of Rihanna (pictured) vomiting pink and white streamers, suggesting her character is under the influence of one or more hallucinogens.

The video begins with a monologue given about love and heartbreak by an unseen narrator, fashion model Agyness Deyn:[76] "It's like you're screaming but no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important, that without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back so you can have the good."[77] Multiple scenes of Rihanna and her lover are intercut throughout the narration, depicting them in different situations with each other. The intercut scenes feature the couple in both love and hate scenarios. Before the audio of the song starts, lightning bolts are projected onto a wall that Rihanna is standing in front of. As the first verse starts, Rihanna and her lover are once again shown in a multitude of different scenarios, depicting them as completely enamored with each other while engaging in fun activities together, including going on rides in a fairground and eating in fast food restaurants. During the chorus, images of drugs, various pills and dilated pupils are shown, while brief scenes of Rihanna and her boyfriend preparing to engage in sexual intercourse and their various stages of undress are shown.

The chorus continues and the video abruptly cuts to Rihanna and other people at an outside rave, dancing to music. Calvin Harris features as the DJ during this scene. As the second chorus begins, Rihanna and her boyfriend are seen happily running amok in a supermarket, pushing each other in a shopping cart and spraying canned drinks at each other. This scene is interrupted when Rihanna and her boyfriend begin arguing angrily with each other while they are in a car; the video then progressively shows the couple experiencing mounting difficulties in their relationship. The couple eventually begin physically abusing one another, possibly due to the heavy drug abuse. It is during the final chorus that Rihanna can be seen vomiting what looks to be streamers (a possible hallucination of the drug use); she is also seen passed out on the street while her boyfriend tries to revive her. After apparently having enough, Rihanna decides to leave her boyfriend after finding him passed out on the floor of his apartment. The video ends with Rihanna curled up in the corner of a room, crying.[74][78][79]

Release and reception

The video for "We Found Love" premiered on the website Whosay.com on October 19, 2011.[80][81] The music video met with a mixed response from critics, with some praising its cinematic feel, whilst others criticized the glorification of drug taking and its side effects. Chris Coplan of Consequence of Sound praised the production of the video, noting that it has a cinematic feel to it, showing the "ins and outs [and] ups and downs" of love[74] and compared the video in its entirety to the film Blue Valentine, due to its sexualized content and narrative consisting of a couple who have a turbulent relationship with one another.[74] Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine called the video "artful" and "poignant" in her review, and added that the video shows "neon colors, explicit sex, bathtub embraces and painful arguments of the couple's world".[77] Jocelyn Vena of MTV commented that although the song itself is upbeat and carefree, the video represents the antithesis, depicting "a dark look at love and substance abuse".[78] Vena, alike Coplan, also noted that the song has a cinematic feel, calling it a "mini-movie", and similar Ramirez, also compared the video to the films Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream, with regard to its opening monologue, which Vena thought "foreshadow[ed]" the video.[78] Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone also found "the footage looks like a remake of Trainspotting, writing "[We Found Love] matches its thumping rave beat to footage that often looks like a remake of Trainspotting".[82] Amanda Dobbins of New York magazine was more critical of the video, commenting that the controversy of Rihanna taking off her clothes in a farmers field "is the least of its provocations", listing the activities the couple partake in: "smoking, drinking, dancing on fast-food tables, dancing at raves, heavy petting, stealing groceries, drunk wheelies, and bathing while fully clothed [and] candy-colored drugs".[83] Dobbins noted that the list of illicit and frowned upon activities may once again aggravate parents and committees because of the explicit nature of the video, which caused controversy for Rihanna in her video's for "S&M" and "Man Down".[83] Also of New York magazine, Charlotte Cowles commented that the voice-over provided by Deyn at the start of the video sounds "incredibly depressing".[76]

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly described the video as "a Trainspotting-meets-Drugstore Cowboy portrait of wasted youth and finding love in an apparently very pharmaceutical place".[84] Greenblatt continued her review in a more negative manner, asking "But does it paint a too-glamorous portrait of crazy, stupid love for her young fans? Or is it RiRi's prerogative to push the boundaries of dilated pupils, couch sex, and how many cigarettes two people can conceivably smoke simultaneously?"[84] Jamie Lewis of the International Business Times noted that the video is likely to cause controversy amongst different groups of the public due to the "multitude of illicit and illegal acts",[85] and condoned the activities that the singer appeared to be partaking in, writing "Rihanna can be seen swallowing unmarked pills, smoking what looks like marijuana, publically stripping, stealing goods and vandalising".[85] Lewis also described the opinions of fans who had posted messages to Rihanna's official Twitter and YouTube accounts, with one fan praising the song, writing "cant stop watching @rihanna's [sic] we found love video, its by far her best yet!", whilst another slated the video, "Really [Rihanna] you call that love? I used to like some of your music but this video is just disgusting I'm sorry to tell. Seems a bad 90's documentary about drugs ... I'm 20 years old and I found it inappropriate. Sorry."[85]

Controversy

The Rape Crisis Centre in the UK, an anti-rape organization which helps victims of rape, sexual abuse and other forms of sexual violence, criticized the video for "We Found Love", labeling it as "a disgrace".[86] Eileen Kelly, a representative of anti-rape group, stated that the video "[sends] out an inappropriate message" and complained to The Daily Star with her concerns, saying "Rihanna's new video is a disgrace. It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases".[86] The video also came under fire from Brandon Ward, a youth pastor of Oasis Christian Center in Staten Island, New York, who also criticized the video for being immoral, saying "Rihanna is damaging the moral and self-worth of young impressionable teens".[87] Ward continued to give an analysis as to why the video is immorally unjust and how it does not conform with Christian beliefs and morals, saying,

The real issue is that it moves the moral center more towards the obscene. That it becomes more normal to be more sexually promiscuous, because they are bombarded with imagery that is loaded with innuendo, and that is seen as normal, even preferred ... if girls and women find their identity and self-worth in the approval of people, they will do whatever it takes to become popular and loved. When stars like Rihanna, who blast sexuality, are thrust into the limelight, girls tend to think that is the way for them to be valuable. God tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made ... bearing His image. Rihanna is selling a lie.[87]

Upon the release of the music video, multiple critics noted the striking physical resemblance between Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown (pictured) and Dudley O'Shaughnessy, as well as how the content of the video appeared to be a reenactment of Brown's assault on Rihanna.

John Colonnello, another youth pastor from Athens, Alabama, also negatively commented about the video, as well as slating Rihanna for not being a role model to the young girls and women in society who look up to the singer, saying "I believe the image that Rihanna portrays in her videos is not good for young girls and for teens that look up to her. She is promoting that it is all about your physical body and how you look and she is promoting (unhealthy) sex ... the message should be that it's about who you are on the inside and your character. That you should be honest, trustworthy, faithful, kind, loving, compassionate and more."[87] The negative reaction to the video is the third by Rihanna in 2011 to be criticized by various organizations, the first being "S&M" in February 2011, which was banned from eleven countries around the world due to it's explicit sexual content,[88][89] as well as "Man Down" in July 2011, which attracted media attention when the Parents Television Council (PTC), a non-profit organization that advocates responsible entertainment, criticized Rihanna for "cold, calculated execution of murder" in the video and for portraying a scenario of rape.[90]

Comparisons with Chris Brown

Upon the release of the video, multiple critics commented on the uncanny resemblance between the physical appearance of Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and featured love interest Dudley O'Shaughnessy, as well as how the video's content appeared to be somewhat of a reenactment of the assault between Rihanna and Brown on the evening of the 2009 Grammy Awards. Chris Doplan of Consequence of Sound and Jocelyn Vena of MTV both commented that the male love interest, O'Shaughnessy, strongly resembled Brown in his appearance.[74][78] Amanda Dobbins of New York magazine concurred with Doplan, noting the resemblance between Brown and O'Shaughnessy, even writing that the latter has short blonde hair like the former once had.[83] Erika Ramirez of Billboard magazine also thought that O'Shaughnessy is a depiction of Brown, especially in relation to the scene which features the couple in a car, with O'Shaughnessy driving recklessly and Rihanna begging him to stop.[77] William Goodman of Spin provided an analysis of the content of the video with regard to the Brown comparisons. First, as with many reviewers of the video, he noted the obvious resemblance between Brown and O'Shaughnessy, writing "The clip stars a dead ringer for Brown, complete with dyed hair and bulging biceps".[79] Goodman continued to comment on the video's opening narration by Deyn which appears to be about Brown, "The video opens with a Agyness Deyn voice-over that warns, 'You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important. No one will ever understand how much it hurts ... you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back, so that you have the good'."[79] In conclusion, Goodman commented on the inclusion of the car scene altercation, which is reminiscent of the assault on the evening of the Grammy Awards, where Rihanna was subjected to physical assault in a car by Brown, writing "In one scene, during a heated argument between the couple in a muscle car, the Brown look-alike gives the Barbadian beauty a slap on the face. Convinced yet?"[79]

Cover versions

British alternative rock band Coldplay covered the song on October 27, 2011, during a performance at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.[91][92] Jocelyn Vena of MTV News called the performance "flawless", writing "Lead singer Chris Martin's haunting vocals and the band's acoustic rendition, using drums, piano and guitar, play up the sadness of the track."[91] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard magazine also noted that the band used "piano flourishes, a kick drum and a simple guitar lick to convey the song's romantic declaration", while making a ballad which was "reminiscent of Bruno Mars's emotional reworking of Katy Perry's 'California Gurls'".[92]
