Expectations for Rihanna's fourth work cannot be any higher after 'Good Girl Gone Bad' confirmed her as one of today's most popular stars. However, the millions of people who downloaded 'Umbrella' or 'Don’t Stop the Music' may be up for a bit of disappointment as the star revisits her normally less impressive slow side with the Ne-Yo penned ballad 'Russian Roulette. The first taste of 'Rated R' could have been a follow-up to 'Unfaithful'. It shares with the former hit down tempo and dramatic lyrics, in which the singer describes what sounds like her own death after being shot. The provocative artwork showing Rihanna covered in barbed wire got her fans thinking that the song is a metaphor about her former relationship with Chris Brown, still in the middle of media frenzy after ending in court due to the heartthrob's alleged physical abuse. Initial reception has been rather tepid, so a plan b single, 'Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)', is already in place. ~Roberto González~ Copyright © Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.
