Already packaged, leaked and ready to be put in store 11.23, Rihanna 4th studio album Rated R is overall an album worth buying. Although weaker in single selections than the mega monster hit album; Good Girl Gone Bad, it's obviously a deeper album. The album has tapped into the emotions and the deeper realms of this international pop-star, which she her self said: "I had to leave the studio at times so that i wouldn't break down..."

The first single off the album is the NeYo written song: Russian Roulette. Deep, Dark, full of amazing vocals but the promotional use for this song holds no weight. The risque beat made by dice rolling and the loading of a song adds to the ghastly sound of her voice. Beautiful lyrics and amazing vocal placement. Is she speaking of Chris Brown? We'll leave that to the public to assume. Making this song the first single was very much so a WRONG move, for many of various reasons. As a follow up album to GGGB this single holds no comparison to the mass effect Umbrella had on the world!

Wait Your Turn which seems to be the next single, stays true to the edgy bad-Bitch persona this Barbados beauty has taken over. It was way more Promotional appealing (if that makes any sense) The main phrase in the song explains it - "The Wait is Over" after a long time wait for this follow up album. her fans have been eagerly waiting. Promo pictures and even her first tweet on her official Twitter account (www.twitter.com/Rihanna) where she said: "The wait is Ova! 11.23.09" Her first official announcement of album drop date. The day after she also premiered Russian Roulette, not so surprisingly at 11:23am.

As far as a third single - Rude boy or Stupid in Love. & sadly so the least cohesive song would have to be 'Cold Case Love', written by Justin Timberlake. The length and the beat distract from her words and the remarkably good lyrics. She also recycled a leaked fan favorite Te Amo; which is either a beautiful song from a mans perspective or an amazing love story from the inner lesbian inside Rihanna.

Overall - Id totally recommend this album! Its a heartbreak album full with hard hitting beats accompanied by amazing lyrics and some good depth; especially after her abusive relationship with singer Chris Brown. Go Cop the album Nov. 23!
