Earlier today, R&B singer Rihanna's new album cover for her fourth studio-album, entitled Rated R, hit the internet today.
The evocative cover, shot earlier this month by Ellen von Werth, continues the dark nature of the artwork of her single, "Russian Roulette," and the general direction the album is speculated to follow. Furthermore, it channels the artistic direction of the photo-shoot Rihanna did for Vogue Italia a couple of months back.
Although she does look beautiful on the cover, it doesn't strike me as anything too provocative and pales in comparison to the striking cover of "Russian Roulette." Of course, covers have very little to do with album sales but it is interesting that the two divas - Rihanna and Lady Gaga -expected to duel it out for the top spot on the Billboard 200 on November 23rd are both sporting black and white album covers. It is an interesting cover nonetheless.
