Directed by Tim Johnson, Home features the voices of Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Jones.
The story takes place on near-future planet Earth which is invaded by an alien race namely Boov. However, a fierce human girl namely Gratuity Tucci aka Tip manages to avoid the capture and goes on a run with a Boov fugitive. Together they form an unlikely friendship as they search for Tip’s mother. Barbadian singer Rihanna has lent her voice to Tip, a teenage girl who befriends the Boov fugitive namely ‘Oh’. Rihanna has also sung three melodious songs in the movie. Here’s taking a look at Rihanna’s songs from the sci-fi movie Home.
Towards the Sun
Towards the sun is a mid-tempo pop and R&B ballad recorded by Rihanna. Written jointly by Tiago Carvalho and Gary Go, Towards the Sun features pounding drums, swirling effects and positive uplifting lyrics. Lyrically, the song gives motivation to people which could be heard in the lines, “Turn your face towards the sun, let the shadows fall behind you”. The song was highly acclaimed by fans and critics alike.
Dancing in the Dark
Dancing in the Dark is another hit song from Home recorded by Rihanna. Dancing in the Dark was jointly written by Easter Dean and Maureen Anne McDonald. It is an up-tempo peppy R&B number with snap beats. The funky song features how Rihanna’s character wants to dance in the dark without stopping till she lights the night with shooting stars.
As Real as You and Me
As Real as You and Me is another uplifting song from the sci-fi Home. Sung by Rihanna, As Real as You and Me takes viewers on an emotional roller coaster ride. Lyrically, the song describes how accidents and fatal diseases are real even though everyone hates to talk or think about it. It says how anyone could fall down before their saviour could return and hence we should comfort each other whenever we could because no one knows what can happen.
