Here’s the cover of Rihanna’s new single “Russian Roulette.” Uh… barbed wire and boobs. And a corset? And some kind of eye patch that really isn’t an eye patch. Rihanna seems to have a well-documented thing for using sadomasochistic and bondage imagery in her magazine and publicity photo shoots. I doubt RiRi’s boobs are truly swaddled in barbed wire, though. At least, I hope this is some kind of Hollywood magic effect where the “barb” is made of Styrofoam or something. Because this cover makes my nipples run and hide. And the corset just seems random, right? Like, I’ll buy the barbed wire and the faux eye patch, but a corset? Too much.
As for the actual song “Russian Roulette”, I’ve been listening to it as I write. I think it’s pretty good, but that’s just me. I like pop music, and I have a pretty high threshold for excessive sound mixing and all of the accoutrements that come with singers that care more about maintaining their image than their voice. The song is pretty low-key and chilled-out, I think. Although I’m cracking up with the way RiRi sing/speaks the word “trigger”. It’s like she’s delivering a punchline.
“Russian Roulette” is RiRi’s first single from her album Rated R, which will be out November 23. Rated R will be her first album since 2007’s Good Girl Gone Bad. “Russian Roulette” is also RiRi’s first solo single since the Chris Brown incident on the eve of the Grammys. She debuted the single on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show earlier today. I think she’s got another hit!

Yeah, I agree with Firestarter. This song was very blah. I remember when I first heard “Umbrella” on the Def Jam website, actually a couple of months before it started getting radio play and I knew it was going to be big.
This song…not so much.
And about the “eye-patch” but not really thing? Is it supposed to be like Michael’s glove? She’s been doing that for a while now. At least Michael could entertain, the 1 glove, white socks just added to his persona. What does Rihanna have outside of the hooker boots, eye-patch and blonde cockatoo haircut? I wouldn’t say she’s an amazing singer and she doesn’t really dance….
Well, at leas she’s actually WORKING as opposed to more side-walk fashion shows.

She’s trying way too hard.

All this stuff is fluff to cover up her total lack of talent

yeah, I wouldn’t say she’s an amazing singer, either.
I remember hearing her sing (yes, actually SING) at some awards show, with no voice correction software, and she was pretty weak and off key.
never understood the hype about her music.

Kaiser, the ‘barbed wire’ is just black rubber, similar to a lamp cord.

I think this song is pretty deep!!! I like it. Someone on another site said it would probably have been better as a second single and I agree she probably should have come out with something more up tempo first. And i think the song is symbolic might be about her past abusive relationship and how staying in that relationship was like playing russian roulette. ANd it was written by Ne’yo he’s got skills!

She should be a model but stay away from the singing. Her bleating-goat voice hurts my ears.

This is the most irresponsible song I’ve heard in a long long time. Doesn’t she know that teen suicides are rising in the last couple of years? And now she wants to make RR look like a hip, edgy, cool thing to play? I don’t care if her song is supposed to be a metaphor for falling in love or whatever the hell it is, this song is just flat out sickening and selfish of her.

She’s a cute girl and would be a great model BUT are we still acting like she can sing?

This girl only became who she is by stealing her style from Fefe Dobson. Fefe was on the same label as Rhiana but dropped abruptly. This girl can’t rock at all.

Gag…go away already please. Her nasal and whiny voice hurts my ears.

Anyone else think she looks like Seven Of Nine with that hairdo, that pout and the thing around her eye?

I used to really really adore her and even watched her concert together with her ex when they invaded the biggest concert hall here in my country. But now she somehow lost her touch with the kind of songs she has been singing.
