Oct 21, 2009 Russian Roulette sees the 21-year-old strip off, posing topless with nothing but a strip of wire wound around her chest to protect her modesty.
The
wait is over - for one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in
recent history, as multi-platinum, award-winning Def Jam recording
artist Rihanna announces the completion of her fourth original studio album, Rated R, scheduled to arrive in the physical and digital marketplace on Monday, November 23rd.
Rated R's first single pick, Russian Roulette is in heavy rotation and the video, directed by Anthony Mandler, will premiere in prime-time on ABC soon.
Russian Roulette was written by fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo, whose long track record with Rihanna includes the #1 hit Unfaithful (2006, from A Girl Like Me), their Top 10 duet Hate That I Love You (2007, from Good Girl Gone Bad), and #1 pop/ #1 R&B Take A Bow (2008, from Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded). In addition to Ne-Yo, other producers and writers on Rihanna's new album include the team of The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, Chase & Status, Stargate, Justin Timberlake and more.
Rated R is the long-awaited follow-up to Good Girl Gone Bad
(May 2007), which contained the non-stop string of hit singles that
began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit Umbrella (featuring Jay-Z), then Shut Up And Drive, Hate That I Love You (featuring Ne-Yo), and Don't Stop The Music.
