Rihanna & Maroon 5 Team Up

Remake of Maroon 5’s "If I Never See Your Face Again" will appear on re-releases of both artists’ latest albums.

On Wednesday, Maroon 5 and Rihanna joined forces on a Los Angeles soundstage to film a video for a remake of “If I Never See Your Face Again” — originally the lead track on M5’s 2007 effort, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long — which will appear on reissues of both artists’ albums.

“We’re both re-releasing our albums — mine’s out June 17,” Rihanna told MTV.“This is the only collaboration on my re-release, because I always wanted to work with Maroon 5. They’re one of my favorite bands. When they called me to do this record with them, I was so honored.”

So what about that video? “It’s this kind of ultra-glamorous, photography-based, late-’70s/ early-’80s situation. It’s really stylish and really beautiful,” Levine said. “It’s the most choreographed thing I’ve ever done, because usually I just get up there and screw around. But with Rihanna, it’s completely different and so cool.”

A spokesperson for Rihanna’s label, Island Def Jam, confirmed that the reissue of her Good Girl Gone Bad album will hit stores June 17. A rep for Maroon 5’s label, A&M, couldn’t be reached by press time.
