Lemon: N.E.R.D drop video for new single ft. Rihanna

Video stars dancer Mette Towley

"The truth will set you free... but first, it'll piss you off."

N.E.RD have released a video to accompany their comeback single "Lemon" featuring Rihanna.

Directed by Todd Tourso and Scott Cudmore, it sees Mette Towley - one of Pharrell's dancers - perform an incredible solo routine.

Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley make their return with the first track since fourth record Nothing was released in 2010.

"Lemon" was premiered on Beats 1 with Zane Lowe on Wednesday 1 November - watch it below.

The beat on the track switches up before Rihanna starts rapping.

Fans have already spotted that it looks as though this was in progress since at least January 2015, with both Rihanna and Pharrell dropping hints on their Instagram accounts.

Pharrell confirmed back in 2015 that the trio were working on new material so it seems likely that "Lemon" was one of the tracks that has long been in the works.

In an interview with the BBC in February, he said he felt "really, really good" about their new music.

"Lemon" is available to stream now via Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal.
