I'm not the biggest Rihanna fan in the world, but I am actually really excited for this. Good Girl Gone Bad was a tremendous step up from everything she did previously and I hope things are about to get better.
LittleSugababe - October 17, 2009 01:27 PM (GMT)
I'm excited!!!
Hope the abum will have a lot of darker uptempo tracks, but since its Rihanna, I never know what to expect.
I'm just so increidbly happy that the Good Girl Gone Bad era is over. I felt like she was dragging it out way too long, with the re-release of GGGB and Disturbia and everything. We're finally getting an actual new album with all brandnew tracks! :D

I hope this album is as good as GGGB. I hope we have songs like Disturbia, Breaking Dishes, stuff like that.

Clip and promo video here
http://www.rihannanow.com/
Shes totally giving me Erotica and Rhythm Nation
with a modern sound.
Damn her for being so good.
The song is called Russian Roulette
So that clip could just be the intro or an interlude
Funny enough tricky gave Christina a song called Russian Roulette
but she turnt it down.

Ne-Yo said the songs so good it'll make people commit suicide
If christina gave away a song that was that good
then in 60 minutes i will be commiting suicide.

Ah, the 'supposed-to-be-on-Christina's-next-album' track from Tricky Stewart...
BostonJames. - October 20, 2009 03:27 PM (GMT)
um......okay
The singles a ballad?
And its a stargate song
Must not of been Christina's then
it was abit lacklustre
should be a grower.

This is incredible through the ol headphones.

I really like the new single...and the artwork is so fierce.
LittleSugababe - October 21, 2009 04:04 AM (GMT)
Completely not what I expected!!!! :'(
Was expecting something uptempo for her FIRST single.
It's a good track, but I think she should have kept this as the third single or something. She should have released a powerful club banger :(
But oh well. Russian Roulette is good though. Very emotional. Definitely a grower.

Grace Jones rip-off :P
BostonJames. - October 29, 2009 05:20 PM (GMT)
Its nice to see someone ripp her off well though!
Taller In More Ways - October 29, 2009 05:38 PM (GMT)
I'm not fully convinced yet. First need to see a tracklist and then hear a couple of snippets.
I know she does decent uptempo songs. But I really wonder how much 'musical growth' there is...

Surely Russian Roulette is a good enough example?

Well actually not... production is rather generic. There is nothing particularly new and unexpected about it. Well, it is, but rather because it's a Ne-Yo production. And he used to produce some of the most unexciting ballads in history.
Well this one is different. Sounds decent enough, but it's not what I call musical growth.
BostonJames. - October 29, 2009 05:57 PM (GMT)
I REALLY must disagree.
The producer is an unknown (Ne-yo just wrote it)
And coming from the girl who sang Pon De Replay
A tune about murdering your lover or commiting suicide
is one HELL of a change up.
Obviously theres a few moody tracks on GGGB
but Russian Roulette seems like a really natural progression
it dosnt seem forced.
I think it completely shows musical growth
in a very natural way.

But it doesn't sound too innovative.
I consider "Don't Stop The Music" is much more innovative soundwise.

Yeah its in no way innovative
But her sound has definetly developed

Comparing "Russian Roulette" to "Rehab" I feel "Rehab" has much more depth.
It's much more breezy but I think she captures a much more realistic view of the heartbreak situation. Me thinks...

Depends if you think Heartbreak has more depth
than murder and suicide i guess.

I think even in "Russian Roulette" she speaks metaphorically.
I don't really buy that suicidal theme. Not before I see her name in the credits AND reading a short description of the song.

It's probably metaphoric in the same vein as Unfaithful

The Wait Is Ova leaked

It's shit.
"Russian Roulette" is much better.

It loses its way with the slow bit

You can watch the Wait Your Turn video here
http://rihannanow.com/
I'm thinking this may just be a promotional single!
I'd of preferred a huge video, seeing as this is
my favorite Rihanna single along with Umbrella.
Shes doing everything right for me at the moment!
Its confirmed that Wait Your Turn is just a promo single
HARD is the official second single.

Rihanna told the Mirror she’s proper excited about performing on The X Factor on November 29.
“I am beyond excited – it was the easiest decision I’ve ever made,” she said. “A lot of people watch the show over here on You Tube and I personally caught a lot of it when Leona Lewis was on who’s an amazing artist. So to say yes to Simon was an honour, especially as I know the show so well.”
