Check out the long-awaited cover for Rihanna’s new album Rated R. Her new single “Russian Roulette” debuted only a week ago and has entered the Billboard Pop Songs chart this week at #35. The song will be available on iTunes on November 3rd while Rated R hits stores on November 23rd!

Thoughts?

Rihanna was spotted out and about in New York City this week wearing cut-out jeans with a leather jacket and brown ankle boots. The songstress also sported the EXCLUSIVE Marilyn Minter/Bright Pink Tote ($48). A percentage of the proceeds from the bags will benefit Bright Pink, a national non-profit organization that focuses on empowering high risk women to take care of their breast and ovarian health.

Rihanna attended her manager’s wedding in Venice last month wearing an Alexander Wang Crepe One-Shoulder Dress ($790) paired with a Balenciaga Brilliant Pouchette Bague ($2,675), black Louboutin heels and a fur wrap.

Naomi Campbell rocked the same dress at the 4th Annual Black Girls Rock! Awards in New York this past weekend. She completed her look with a fur cape and black pumps.

“The Wait Is Ova” as Rihanna’s new single premiered just a few moments ago! “Russian Roulette” was written by Ne-Yo and it serves as the lead single from her upcoming album which is officially titled Rated R and is scheduled for release on November 23rd! I think the song is a certified hit! Rihanna’s vocals sound amazing…miles better than anything I’ve heard from her to date. The song itself has somewhat of an epic feel to it that’s hard to describe. Check out the official single cover above and take a listen to the song below!
