What happens when Shakira and Rihanna team up for a new video?
If you haven’t yet seen their very touchy, feely Thursday release, be warned, it’s rather forgettable.
Can’t Remember to Forget You is 3 minutes, 29 seconds of back arches, sultry gazes, whipping of the hair, slo-mo hip rolls, hints of girl-on-girl activity and everything else you’d expect from a Shakira x Rihanna collaboration. Which is actually what’s most disappointing.
It’s all so expected. As always, they look good doing what they do. The production value is high. But it’s conceptually underwhelming. Between these ladies and their creative teams, I’ve come to expect more. I could be the outlier though, since only 15 hours after its debut, the video is approaching 6 millions views. Clearly, many others appreciate it.
