the wait is ovah! finally the song is here.. OMG!
‘Russian Roulette’ is rihanna first single for first single off her upcoming album ‘Rated R’ which will be on shelves physically and digitally on November 23rd, the same week as Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster, Adam Lambert’s For Your Entertainment and Britney Spears’ The Singles Collection hit stores.
quote from rolling stone:
“Roulette” opens up with a desperado guitar lick that hints at an impending shootout before the throbbing and foreboding bassline that carries the track settles in. The dark ballad, which Ne-Yo wrote and produced, seems to find Rihanna singing about enduring a tumultuous relationship and keeping faith in a dangerous boyfriend. “You can see my heart beating, you can see it through my chest/I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving/Know that I must pass this test,” Rihanna sings on the chorus, “So just pull the trigger.” The song ends with an ominous gunshot.

i love the artwork! damn, just like lady gaga~ very FIERCE! and u are right, the beat is very teardrop-ish…
oh and did you notice the sound of bullets slot shuffling?
I believe that Britney was not loved or cared for when she needed it the most, if I could see her slow decline after the birth of Jayden James,why couldn’t those close to her see it, undiagnosed post partum depression can be devastating for all members involved, I think Britney needed love caring understanding and most of all professional help from early on,if she had that help and security I believe her come back would have happened long ago. PPD is often misunderstood and everything she did was blown out of proportion to apease the public(not her fans they care about her)
