On November 23, the 21-year-old star will release Rated R, the fourth disc of her career. The 13-track album features collaborations with several renowned artists.
In addition, for her debut single, Russian Roulette, produced by Ne-Yo, Rihanna gathered musicians Slash, Young Jeezy and will.i.am.
On this fall’s most highly anticipated disc, we will hear Rihanna sing Mad House, Hard (feat. Young Jeezy), Stupid in Love, ROCKSTAR 101 (feat. Slash), Fire Bomb, Rude Boy, Photographs (feat. will.i.am), G4L, Te Amo, Cold Case Love, and The Last Song.
The initial feedback about Rated R revealed that the disc is more intimate. The singer, who was assaulted by her ex-boyfriend in February, was able to unleash her emotions in some of the songs.
This week, Rihanna will speak for the first time on television since her personal problems arose. She agreed to do interviews on ABC’s Good Morning America and 20/20.
