MUSIC NEWS: RIHANNA’S ‘RATED R’ ALBUM COVER + ALBUM NEWS

Rihanna’s official “Rated R” album cover has hit the net and features her posing with her hand over her eye, alone with a signature ‘R’ in the background. Check out the info:

The Rated R cover was shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who says that “Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album.” Von Unwerth goes on to say that Rihanna is “so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time — and a pleasure to shoot,” adding that she’s “fantastic to work with — very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot, and ready to push the boundaries.” (PopEater)

Rihanna’s new single, “Russian Roulette,” debuted last week and the video is expected to be released on November 6th. We also heard that “The Wait Is Ova” will be her 2nd official single..

    Trying to hard to be the first black female rock star…..enough already. Geesh!

  2. Amsterdam

    She is the new Madonna very edgy! She is an international star because she pushes the envelope.

    Rihanna reminds of European world superstars.–I don’t see her as an Urban artist.

  3. SuchaTimeAsThis

    Lol at the photographe saying she wanted to do something new. There’s nothing new about the all seeing eye of horus. Its in everything that she does and all the other fallen puppet entertainers out here right now. So hahaha to that.
    That Idolater will take her place in the lake of fire with her evil slave master lucifer.

  4. ItShallCome2Pass

    LOL at her saying she wanted to do something new.Whats new about the all seeing eye. She does it in everything she does. She will take her place in the lake with lucifer. Will you go with her?

    @151.

    Horus Isis Osiris

    The madness doesn’t stop. I just want to know who is the one that keeps worshipping these Egyptian gods? And who wants US to sit under that pagan worship with our music???

    WHY and WHO – that’s all I want to know.

    WHY AND WHO??? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME??

    “Lucifer’s Rising” review

    Review by Flickhead Soundtrack review

    “Lucifer Rising appears as a heartfelt, reverent celebration of creation and the act of worship.
    we’re told that the scenario traces “the ascension of Lucifer (Horus), Bringer of Light, invoked by Isis, Osiris, Lucifer’s Adept, Lilith and the Magus.”

    and

    “Anger’s Lucifer is linked to the illuminating gods of pagan religions, most notably Horus, the Egyptian falcon-headed sun god. Lucifer Rising is an invocation of Lucifer by Isis (Goddess of Life and Nature) and Osiris (God of Death and Resurrection), Lucifer’s Adept (the link between the gods and man, in a many-colored coat), Lilith (the Destroyer) and the Magus (played by Anger himself)”

  6. truthfullyspeaking

    LOL at this photo. Nothing special, different, or spectacular. One hand over the eye and an R in the background. If she was going for editorial, it should have been more emotional and raw. This is just a pick of a female with a bunch of dark makeup on, trying to look edgy. She actually looks like a clown. There’s no real HYPE over this chick, at least not yet. Rihanna has gotten so predictable. That first single was made for controversy and it’s sad that you have to rely on gimmicks and tactics to keep your music career. Whether or not the lyrics are as “deep” as her fans claim they are, it’s still a weak and mostly unrelatable song to many. It’s just whatever with this chick.

  7. Tasha Jai

    She is soooo over-rated its unreal!!! And her music SUCKS!!!

    —–@Curious Fowl

    —–Didin’t I tell you to stay in your place, lol? Now do what you do best and tell me
    —–when your god’s album is coming out. “The Wait is Ova!”, lmao. You’re a damn
    —–clown, and a massive idolator. I honestly can’t even take your commentary
    —–seriously because your remarks are those of a cartoon character or a
    —–caricature. Let me incense you even more. Not only did Kanye arrange to have
    —–his mother sacrificed, but Jennifer Hudson arranged to have her family members
    —–sacrificed as well. The main entity that I see looking for attention is you. My
    —–comments will always garner notice because they’re TRUTHFUL, not based on
    —–opinion or emotion.

    —–@Horus Isis Osiris

    —–The worship of the pagan gods has been the very cornerstone of America from the
    —–very beginning. It’s just more overt now. All the so-called “Founding Fathers” were
    —–occultists. The music is just a method to subliminally teach the tenets of
    —–paganism to the average person.

    —–@Intriqued

    —–To understand what you’re seeing, you have to know what it means to worship
    —–the Most High, and how to worship the Most High. Then you have to research
    —–pagan deities and fraternal orders so that you know how these people worship
    —–what they worship. The rest is elementary. You should get two books by an
    —–author named Texe Marrs which are a very good introduction, “Codex Magica”
    —–and “Mystical Monuments”. Many of these people reject that their favorite
    —–celebrity is a satanist because: 1) that celebrity is their god 2) because they also
    —–worship Satan without knowing it.

  9. JUDAH

    —–Lucifer is not Horus. Lucifer is whatever nation has been put in power by Satan at
    —–the time and carries on the satanic knowledge of the spiritual realm. That is where
    —–the metaphor of “carrying on the torch” comes from and this is why it is used on
    —–the Statue of Liberty, which is Hecate, the goddess of crossroads and witchcraft.

    Poor Rhianna Check out these videos ON U TUBE Fight the New World Order with Non Global Compliance pt 1-3 and New World Order The Final Solution VIDEOS THE NWO DONT WANT U TO SEE

  11. sunkist

    DO U DELUSIONAL RIHANNA STANS KNOW WHO GRACE JONES IS?
    RIHANNA WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO GRACE JONES!!!!!
    LADY GAGA IS THE CLOSET THING TO GRACE JONES BECUZ SHES SO FASHION FORWARD AND SO OUT OF THE BOX.
    RIHANNA IS A PUPPET WITH A STYLIST WITH NO SENSE OF STYLE AND NO CONTROL OVER HER IMAGE. GRACE JONES IS A ICON, RIHANNA IS A FAKE.

  12. MONICA

    @tell it like it is…. those videos I have posted along with JUDAH comments will explain everything what is going on

  13. FURIOUS STYLES

    First Off…..
    @ SUNKIST

    I know who Grace Jones is and she was doing in the 70′s exactly what Rihanna is doing now……Which is railing against contemporary African American ideals of Style and Art. Grace Jones always had a unique style that went right over the heads of many African Americans EXACTLY like Rihanna is doing. I love Grace’s old Album covers and her style was lethal and original. Not to mention her music. We don’t have any Grace Jones types outside of Rihanna unfortunately today in modern music. Rihanna is very bigger than Grace in terms of how new media has made her an international STAR. Much like David Bowie was back in the day. I would compare Rihanna more to David. She can’t walk outside without setting off new Trends that most of you can’t even purchase let alone understand or wear this is what a Style Icon is all about. And her most recent image is really putting her up there with Madonna.

    @ Judah

    Judah if anyone is a CARTOON on CL it’s you and you seem to relish the position.
    I have to give you some credit Judah because you have a few disenfranchised Zombies or Lost Souls on here who follow your Dogma and wait here for you to “instruct” them on which celebrities are following Satan LMAO
    Wow you provide such a great service on an entertainment blog must make you feel great (helping that low self esteem issue i’m sure). :-)

    Judah sweetie the only reason people call you out is because of the ridiculous nature of your comments and the colorful details you provide which to me only solidifies your position as a mentally imbalanced person. The labyrinth of the mind is something to behold but your mind is about as deep as a newly formed puddle on the street. I don’t mean to knock your Kufi off but please sit down and find a better way to use your time. I’m sure you will now fall back to your familiar phrases that you memorized i.e. “straw man arguments,” etc. LMAO

    TRUTH??? There is no truth to the statement that Jennifer Hudson “arranged” for her family to be killed. PERIOD. You can provide no proof to such an outrageous claim. This is why you are such a JOKE. These are theories you think APPLY in these two instances but they don’t. And if we follow your logic that to become famous both Kanye and Jennifer arranged for these “sacrifices” why are the sacrifices so late? I’m sure you have some “Truth” for that as well…LMAO Considering both of these people were already famous long before these Deaths occurred. Judah you don’t know Truth (nor syntax) but you are very amusing to a point. I gave you some attention which I know you crave.

    Also, Rihanna’s new CD will drop on 11-23-09 and the CD is called Rated R make sure you support her. LOL Hope you have the money I’m sure times are tight for False Blog “Prophets” you can barely afford to wash that dirty Kufi you wear. LOL

  15. Asha

    While all of u all are sitting here writing *ish about her most of yall will buy the album, or blastin one of her songs…i hate it when people try 2 hate on someone successful. if u dont like it guess wat….NOBODY CARES! she is still gonna make her money reguardless. Please dont think ur pointless opinion matters

  16. Billie

    I have never seen so many hate someone so much. I have tried to figure out what this girl have ever done to deserve this sh.t.

    I like the cover and the picture, in it she seems mature and strong while still being open and Vulnerable. It is an artsy image that speaks to who she is right now.

    the Music in the Sun, 15y old girl is gone and in her place is this young woman on the prink of exploring her boundaries.

    She is growing up!!!! some of you should try it sometimes.

  17. mari

    @ bille the answer to your question is be successful. That’s the only thing that get haters riled up. When your down in the valley with nothing, people like you , or love you. As soon as you rise to the top like cream, The hating begins. That’s right ri ri keep them hating, that proves your doing something right, because people don’t hate people they don’t feel threatened by.

  18. JUDAH

    @Curious Fowl

    Lmao, I knew that the revelation on Jennifer Hudson would incense you. The proof that Jennifer Hudson sacrificed her family members was a picture that was posted of her nephew, Julian King, after the murders. It was a highly publicized picture of him throwing up the mano cornuto “goat horn” signs in a picture taken (I’m sure by Hudson herself, and that handsign at her behest) some time before the murders. Like I’ve said; to understand what you see, you have to understand how they worship what they worship, which is in signs, symbols, and stances. You don’t understand that….nor do you seem to understand much of anything else. Let’s not regress back to the proofreading, syntactical argument. It’s rather pathetic, especially for one who alleges herself to be “educated” but states “familiar phrases that YOU (not you’ve) memorized”, lmao.

    Where’d you get your “degree” from? Hoochie University or Chickenhead College? How many food stamps did you have to use for your tuition? I know for a fact by your commentary that you received your B.S. degree because you’re very good at it lol. By the way Curious, I’m giving your paper a D -. Don’t worry though, I don’t begrudge you the syntax argument. One law of debate is that those who don’t have anything to say, when in moments of desperation, will say anything (Job 6:25). Lastly Curious, I don’t wear kufis. That is Muslim garb. An “educated” person would know that lmao. If I did have a dirty kufi, I would give it to you so you could handwash it along with Rihanna’s panties :-) .

  19. MOMMIE SHE'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

    Love it….

  20. FURIOUS STYLES

    @ JUDAH

    “familiar phrases that YOU (not you’ve) memorized”, lmao

    Judah when you type these things it makes it impossible not to laugh at you.

    Leave syntax and basic reading and comprehension to those that know. I think you should continue your analysis of photos and hand gestures.

    You are so funny. FYI I don’t wash other females underwear that was so disgusting. And I dam sure would not wash anything of yours.

  21. FURIOUS STYLES

    Also, Judah I’m a Freshman in college and I’m 17 and my intelligence is not in question. but you keep trying. I do find you very amusing.
    Till the next time.

    LOL

  22. TYRA IS A LIAR!!

    MY COMMENT WAS @ SUNKIST
    AND YOU’RE THE DELUSIONAL ONE.

  24. 2 BAD

    Love it! Love Rihanna. Everyone else with these negative comments thinking that comments on an urban blog will stop her from going multi-platinum = EPIC FAIL!
    The bish is bad. Let her be great. If you don’t like it go get Tranny Gaga, Breezy or the Beyaki DVD. You have other choices. No need to keep coming to Rih’s posts to say the same ol’ ish!

  25. ????????????

    SHE IS DEFINITELY DOING HER THING. SHE GETS THE MOST ATTENTION OUT OF ALL THE CELEBS.

  26. ~BIZNESSWMN~F.U.PAY.ME

    Rated R will sell like hotcakes. Rihanna just has the gift of keeping people interested in what she’s doing whether they love her or hate her. It’s amazing how she got so big so fast. I say congratulate the youngster instead of putting her down.

  27. missjordan

    The hottest chick in the game is Rihanna! She has taken that crown!

  28. ORGANIZED NOISE ♪♫♫

    CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE THIS PROJECT WILL HAVE IN STORE FOR US MUSIC LOVERS

  29. FusionLA

    Check out the new Joss Stone Album, she has some tracks on there, and sounding more soulful than some of these new R&B Singers.

  30. mrsjones

    lmao @furious_styles

    no wonder you are so dumb, you are only 17? sweetheart you couldn’t possiby know anything about real life yet. your head is probably stuck on celebrities 24/7, you really need to wake up or you will burn in the fire with you celebrity Gods and Goddesses. They are targeting people your age, and you are eating it up just as they want you too. so sad

  31. Parker

    Creative and Artistic! Most people won’t understand it, people need to get out of the box and start thinking different and stop being in the Norm. Get It Rihanna!

  32. Q

    beyonce always has and always will be the ‘hottest chick in the game’.

    so rihanna stans need to stop obsessing over bey and realize that rihanna will never be on her level.

    as for this album pic, nothing new or interesting.

    her new single is flopping just like alicia’s.

    these chicks ain’t touching the ‘single ladies’ mania.

  33. bearer of bad news

    CHeck out on youtube Ladygaga, illuminate-
    You might start crying. SHe go hard for them. Every chance she get she throwin it up-like it ain’t nothing. we are in a war-spiritual warfare-2armies- God and satan and both recruiting. These stars are puppets but some are willing puppets noy? $$$and fame. some people 4get they gonna die one day. Some of ya’ll might not make it 2 the weekend. Ain’t being pessimistic, just realistic. About prob 5,000 people have died while im typing round the world-what makes you think ur number can’t come up. Where u gonna spend eternity? Like God said, hell is never full. ONe of the most beloved rappers- jayhova(mocking the real Jehovah said this in “EMpire state of mind” Jesus can’t save ya, life starts when church ends” WHAT?? There is more lyrics just research- you will find them. Even AMil knew -THAT’S WHY SHE LEFT. She made a song back in the day bout it. Yes people its a scary world- but praise the Almighty- he is revealing the enemy’s tactics and strategies-know why? God doesn’t want you 2 get caught up-He has mercy-respect that and take heed. That eye of the horus sign is emitting a demonic spirit out in the world everytime they do it. Gaga does it every chance she get. SHe don’t play around. Pray people! PRAY!

  34. RealTalkUK

    Wow Rihanna is a somewhat interesting character, you look at the album cover and it is very clear she is backwards spiritually. God help this child, how are you going to be glorifying ‘SUICIDE’, she knows very well her position as an artist.. and how it allows her to influence, especially those who are young. It is rather callous..this is NOT creativity. Yall can say what you want, but be smart about what you listen to.

    Im Done
