She’s outdone herself AGAIN. Rihanna has just released the brand new Video for her latest Single Diamonds right in-time for her Toronto visit next Thursday, November 15, 2012. The Princess of Pop will be on a whirlwind Tour around the Globe in support of upcoming Disc, Unpologetic, on her 777 Promo Tour which will see 150 members of the Media (from 82 countries), Friends and Fans fly aboard with her. A Private Concert at an undisclosed location is scheduled at each Stop-off City.
I particularly love the Water sequences and the wild Horses here are a powerful touch. The Video for Diamonds balances all four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire and feels harmonious. And did I mention how stunning Rihanna looks with her Asymmetrical Hair? This is my favourite look of hers since her Good Girl Gone Bad Era. Anthony Mandler directs the gorgeous and cinematic Clip.

Perhaps known better for his Collaborations, brilliant Producer/Singer/Songwriter Calvin Harris is in Toronto after a stay in New York, here promoting his latest Disc 18 Months, from Sony Music Canada. The Album already has topped both the UK and Scottish Album Charts, seeing a release Stateside just last week.
The 28-year-old Scotsman exploded onto the Pop Music Scene internationally back in 2008 with Hits The Girls and Acceptable in the 80s and already is gaining heavy Airplay for his new Single Feel So Close, which has achieved triple-Platinum sales in Canada already. 18 Months pairs Harris with some outstanding Vocalists including Kelis, Ellie Goulding, Florence Welch (Florence & The Machine), Tinie Tempah, Ne-Yo and of course his international Smash Hit with Rihanna, We Found Love, is featured also.
Harris earlier today made visits to Virgin Radio 99.9, KISS 92.5, FLOW 93.5 and Z103.5, in addition to an appearance on MuchMusic‘s New.Music.Live where tons of Fans got Snaps with the handsome and friendly Talent. Click here to read more on that.

Is it really true? Universal Music really is going big for the upcoming release of Rihanna‘s seventh album and included on the 777 Promotional Tour are London, Paris, Toronto, Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and New York. As reported by The Sun (UK), Rihanna will be flying on a private jet – I’m assuming a Boeing 777 – from City to City and in addition to her Entourage, some lucky Fans will on-board too witnessing an in-flight Performance! Thanks to sharp-eyed Reader Monika for sending this along.
This Strategy actually sounds somewhat like an initiative Drake ran with Virgin Airlines a couple years back which I attended here in Toronto, but of course this is much more blinged-out! As is the case with previous visits to the City, Rihanna has spent some time with her famous Toronto Friend. Wonder if they’ll be reuniting once again?
Rihanna‘s Unapologetic is due on November 16, 2012.
