After the enormous amount of publicity generated by Chris Brown’s beating of former girlfriend Rihanna prior to this year’s Grammys, the Barbadian chanteuse has chosen to embrace the controversy rather than pretend it never happened. Her first single since the altercation, “Russian Roulette”, is a dark ballad that finds Rihanna enduring a tumultuous relationship with 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,” she sings on the chorus, “So just pull the trigger.” Ending with a gunshot, the song’s title and lyrics echo Rihanna’s recent interest in firearms; in March she had a tiny gun tattooed on her side.

Rihanna is the best singer in my opinion, she has a very good voice, a beautiful face and a very sexy body.
