Pop star Rihanna is back again, this time gone blonde and launching her new album “R Rated” .

Rihanna released her new video – ”Russian Roulette”. The 21-year-old “Disturbia” singer who is releasing her fourth album in four years, said that this dark side of the album was the result of expressing all her supressed emotions out in the studio.

Rihanna was assaulted by her then boyfriend Chris Brown in February which resulted in worldwide news as well as Brown being sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community labor in August.

While talking about the album, Rihanna said, “Each album is a reflection of who you are at that point in your life” and she also said, “at times” she felt “dark”.

This 13-track album includes a heavy metal collaboration with ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash on “Rockstar 101″ in addition to Justin Timberlake on one track as well.
