Rihanna goes full Sia in "Sledgehammer", her mighty new track for upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Star Trek Beyond.
It's a massive, rousing epic with solemn melodies and a climactic finale - it's not much like her ANTI noises. It probably comes as no surprise that Sia helped write the track.
Star Trek Beyond hits cinemas on 22 July.
Listen to "Sledgehammer" below, and watch the new trailer featuring RiRi's song after.
