It’s only been two weeks since Rihanna released her first new single in six years, and now she’s back with more.
Yesterday (November 11), marked the official release date of āBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreverā and its accompanying soundtrack. The OST includes contributions from artists including Tems, Burna Boy, Stormzy, and PinkPantheress among others as well as the much-herladed return of Rihanna.
āBorn Againā is a fearless anthem about persevering in the face of obstacles. Co-written by Rihanna and The-Dream alongside James Fauntleroy and producer Ludwig Gƶransson, āBorn Againā is an ode to resilience and sacrifice in the name of love, whether for a person or a place considered home.
āIād give my heart to this place/Iād give my soul or whatever it takes, never run away/Iāve got enough angels to storm the gates, Iām not afraid,ā Rihanna sings over an intense orchestral arrangement. āAnd behold the brave, not have it no other away/I miss the emergence and these moments of you/The mere reflection of me, that mirror canāt change its view.ā
It’s another emotional touch to the Ryan Coogler-directed sequel, which arrived in theaters on Friday (November 11), over two years after the death of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.
