Rihanna's giving one of her songs to the new Star Trek soundtrack

  • June 24, 2016
  • Brad O'Mance

Rihanna's using one of the millions of songs she recorded for 'Anti' on the soundtrack for the forth­com­ing Star Trek film.

The song in question is called 'Sledgehammer' and is probably one of the Sia ones given that title screams extended metaphor.

The song was 'teased' on iTunes earlier:
