  • I think it’s quite nice, simple like the rest of her covers and conveys the new image well. I was hopin for a half body shot though.

  • Disappointing. I was expecting more. The single cover is more exciting than this. :/

  • Rihanna should die. Ughhh to think KIDS would look up to her. And how old is she?? 21. I dont really like Chris Brown, but I thank him from the bottom of my heart for beating her. Again PLEASE!!!!

  • hmmm there she goes with that one eye again…couldnt be any more clear…satanic symbol

  • killin'em softly

    Very artsy.

  • I’m not feeling this whole dark side … Imma have to keep it moving
    I’m actually starting to like Chris Brown again just be/c of it.

  • not what i expected, it’ll past tho. seems like i saw this already

  • her and that eye is killing me! lol Why is she always covering it up? I don’t think it’s a satanic thing because that’s suppose to be the other eye.

  • Wow such negative comments! If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say it at all. You don’t know her or any other celebrities’ life ppl! Don’t worry bout what she believes in. You and her are accountable for your own sins. Stop jumpin on the band wagon!!! Next thing you know ppl are going to start saying blinking is a satanic sign and then ignorant ppl that entertain the gossip will go and cut their eyelids off. GET A CLUE. GO RI RI DO YOUR THING. GOD BLESS YOU!

  • @ Jed thats not cute to wish death on no one….

    I think the cover is hot and different they said it was going to be dark and the title is rated r which means for mutual listener. so grow the H$$% up and get over it. i read enough bad things with her single . let this woman do her thing. if you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it. but she still going to sell to millions of other people…your opinion don’t count, that’s why its an opinions….

  • Rihanna should die????

    DAM RiRi haters go harder than Bey haters! This just means her album is gonna break records. As fo the cover I would have prefered more body but I still love it! Im loving her single n cant wait to hear what dance tracks she has in store! Nov 23 couldnt come any sooner!!!

  • LOVE the cover…. it’s dark and it’s bad ass!!!!!!!!!!

    BRANG it RI!!!!!!!! I just hope the songs are half as bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like the cover. it’s nothing over dramatic. I think we should all buy the RR single on ITunes B Scott?? what do u think. Imma buy it. I love the song. it’s different from what’s out today 4 sure. most of the songs out today are so bubble gum…

  • Cry for help!!! Sometimes it’s loud …sometimes it’s percieved as “artistic expression”…this poor girl is in need of a few good sessions on somebody’s couch!

  • i like this!

    Her haters are coming hard.
    She MUST be doing something right!

  • ALL THE HATERS CAN GO GET THE SWINE FLU GO RI RI

  • I like it. Such a transformation.

  • Uhmmm ….. that one eye thing again, it’s creeping me out. Why she keeps doing that?? Not feeling it….

  • lol i bet the haters just doin that to get people all worked up. no matter. they don’t deserve my attention. rihanna is doing the damn thing and i know its gonna sell good.

  • Damn these haters are REALLY getting upset! But you know what they say, if you don’t have haters you aren’t doing anything.

    I LOVE this cover! So cool and artistic. Some people just will never undertand and always think of her as the cute girl from “Pon De Replay”. Guess what? She has GROWN UP!! She is evolving as an artist and as a woman, which is why her career is still going strong and why it will continue to go strong into the future!

    I see Chris Brown out here with his new song and video, the same shit he did back in 2007. Meanwhile Rihanna is keeping things fresh and exciting with each album! Go RIRI!

  • wow when Alliyah use to cover her eye with her hair and patches it was not seen as “demonic” or satanic or anythigin like that …..wow how have times changed lol people are so fickle…its art people get over it damnnnnn its not that “SERIOUS” people please.

    i mean to be honest Riahnna not doing anythign that different that has not been done before..thats how the music industry fashion industy entertainment industry as a whole works things just go around in circles…she is a breathe of freshair because i am not into that bubblegum crap some people singing and her string of #1 hits have proven more people love her than hate her.

    so do yah damn thing my bajan sister love yah bad ri ri like cou cou and salt fish (my bajan peeps will get that one ) :)

  • Man… I mean I like RiRi, but the her single is kinda crazy! Its not something kids should be hearing. Especially teens…. its about commiting suicide… smh.

  • This reminds me of the cover for Madonna’s first self-titled album. I like it. Most covers these days I wouldn’t take a second look in the store.

  • very 80’s luv it!!!!

  • Good cover,totally different of whats going on today,,reminds me a lot of the 80’s covers ,very raw ,too much fasion and glam also reminds me of grace jones.very similar looks,its clear shes not innovating but its good,,now vive the girl some talent please!!!
