I’ve had about a week or so to let the shock of “Russian Roulette” to settle, and you know what? I bought it on iTunes just yesterday. Why the sudden change of heart? Letting go of dreams of more Umbrella’s and Disturbia’s, I listened to this new side of Rihanna. Muumuse coins it best, “Rihan-noir.”
Rihan-noir sounds exactly how you imaged it would. It’s dark, moody, dramatic and a lot more fierce than Beyonce’s last album. In a sense, Rated R is going to be Rihanna’s 808s and Heartbreak. I’m officially on board.

It’s nice that she’s “back on her feet” and all, but as far as pop music goes… Lady GaGa is dancing circles around here. I’m even growing fond of Britney Spears’ new threesome song. I just can’t get into her “fierce” music.
I am getting into this. It's definitely catchy, but a bit more laid back and chill.
even with repeated listens, the song just isn't catchy. and its being “dark” doesn't make it any better. major disappointment.
I really like this song.
She looks amazing. The song grows on you, but the video itself is amazing. So dark and sexy.
