<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/drake/artist.jhtml">Drake</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/rihanna/artist.jhtml">Rihanna</a> get close in the long-awaited clip for the MC's single, "Take Care," as shown in video stills that surfaced Monday (March 12). </P><P> </P><P>Reigniting their on-screen chemistry, the two chart-toppers are seen holding each other before a blank backdrop. Simplicity seems to be the focus, as the duo sport plain wardrobes in the black-and-white images. </P><P> </P><P><a href="http://www.thisisrnb.com/2012/03/first-look-drake-feat-rihanna-take-care-video/" target="_blank">ThisIsRNB.com</a>, which first leaked the images, revealed that the clip also features a "group of muscular male performers acting out tribal dance scenes" as well as shots of various animals moving in beat to the Jamie xx-produced tune. </P><P> </P><P>News of such a minimalistic and artsy clip isn't all that surprising, as <a href="/news/articles/1679226/drake-rihanna-take-care-music-video.jhtml">director Yoann Lemoine</a> revealed to MTV News, "They seemed to be super close and that's what I wanted for the video. Visually, it's a very humble video. ... It's not crazy. It's actually the most indie video I've done my whole life. It's probably the most famous artists, and they were so open to a project that was so minimal." </P><P> </P><P>Lemoine isn't the only one who had high expectations for the visual, but also Drake himself. Back in December, <a href="/news/articles/1676366/drake-rihanna-duet-video-take-care.jhtml">Drizzy Drake admitted</a> that he wanted the clip to be the best of his video catalog. "I want to make it perfect &#8212; the best video I've done to date &#8212; so I'm just taking my time," he said. </P><P> </P><P>"Take Care" serves as the duo's first video collaboration since Rihanna's "What's My Name?" where the pop darling takes a stroll through New York City and embarks on a flirty venture with Drake. </P><P> </P><P><i>What do you think of the "Take Care" stills?
