Rihanna has been commissioned by Paramount to pen some of her usual lyrical excellence for the upcoming Star Trek sequel.
And now that the first slew of trailers have been released for the Sci-Fi blockbuster, we listeners can get a taste of Rihanna's vocals.
In this most recent clip, the latter part of the trailer is overlaid with Rihanna's new song 'Sledgehammer' and it's safe to say this is more of a 'Love the Way You Lie' sort of track than an upbeat 'Pon De Replay' tune.
Australian singer Sia sprung to mind as we had our first listen - can you hear the similarities too?
