The goal for Rihanna’s upcoming album was to deliver something that fans haven’t heard and producer, Chuck Harmony said that’s what he aimed to do with her single “Russian Roulette.” We haven’t heard many sad ballads from Rihanna, especially as the lead single of an album.

Sure there was “Unfaithful” and “Rehab” possibly falls into that category, but in general it’s been catchy dance tunes.

Now, she’s got a more adult sound and harmony says they wanted more than just some fluffy pop song, “We wanted to give her a movie. We didn’t want to just give her a three-minute song. I felt musically like everybody was gonna give like that ‘Disturbia,’ ‘SOS,’ kind of pop, uptempo stuff, and I really wanted the song that me and Ne-Yo did to stand out.”

It’s been eight months since R&B singer, Rihanna was attacked by her then boyfriend, singer, Chris Brown. Rihanna hasn’t said much about the attack and her reps also have stayed pretty mum. “She justs wants her life to return to normal” a family friend said.

It is clear that Rihanna does not want to see herself as a victim of domestic abuse. She sees herself strong, sexy, beautiful, talented. All of those things her record label wants her be. So it’s no surprise that Rihanna’s new album cover of her topless, in barbed wire has hit the Internet and media outlets everywhere has stirred a little buzz.

Rihanna’s new album, titled, “Rated R” seems appropiate, due in stores Nov. 23.

A lot of Rihanna’s fans are young girls and I wonder how they are going to react. Is this album cover good for Rihanna’s image or in poor taste?

When Rihanna released “Russian Roulette,” the lead single from Rated R on Tuesday, a lot of people were surprised that it wasn’t some empowering club banger.

And although reactions are mixed when it comes to the haunting song about an abusive relationship, Chuck Harmony, who produced it with Ne-Yo, insists that the track and the album are a reflection of Rihanna’s growth as an artist.

Harmony told MTV News that no matter how you feel about the track, the album will prove that Rihanna is the Madonna of her generation. “I sat through mix sessions and I heard some of the songs on the record. It fits in well,” he said of “Russian Roulette.”

Singer Tiffany Evans (best known for her stint on Star Search & single Promise Ring ft Ciara) blasted Rihanna’s new single “Russian Roulette” earlier today via twitter. Peep her vent below:

Russian Roulette= Suicidal Rate gon sky rocket!

You gotta watch what u say. Because there are a lot of weak people in the world. They are susceptible to anything so anything you say or do some people actually do listen. So make sure its nothing bad. Its okay to be deep,but not murder deep.

Man! I really wish I could tell you guys what the industry really is and what stars are apart of destroying this world. The stars who worship satan,and those who have killed to get the respect they have now. You’d be verrrry surprise. Some of your favorite people pretend to worship God but they only do that to save face. Or seem innocent.

How do you top a monster hit like “Umbrella”? For Tricky Stewart, the answer is easy. You don’t. The hitmaker behind 2007’s chart-topper speaks exclusively with Rap-Up.com about producing the biggest album of Rihanna’s career.

There are reports that Rihanna’s fourth album will drop before the end of the year. Is that true?

I do believe it is. We’re actually just getting started. I just wrote some records that I’m in love with this past week. Rihanna and I will be getting in the studio sometime in the next two weeks, so we actually have not recorded anything for her new album yet.
