Rihanna just premiered her brand new music video for her second single, “Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova).”
We’ve watched it a couple times and we aren’t really too impressed. It’s cool and the shots are pretty cool and the cinematography is sick but it’s nothing special. She’s singing “the wait is ova…” but seriously, is there anyone really waiting anymore? We hate to say it, but Chris has our vote for best project so far. It’s time for Rihanna to step her game up. Peep the video after the break.
In an effort to promote her new album, Rihanna recently sat down to do an interview with Glamour Magazine for their “Women of the Year 2009″ issue. In the issue, Ri talks about her new sound and style, auditioning for Jay-Z, and of course, the big fight she had with Chris Brown in February. She even touched a bit on how she felt after that picture of her battered face.
But like all the interviews with Chris, don’t expect to hear something you haven’t already, which is good because we’d hate to see either one of them throwing each other under the bus.
Glamour: Let’s talk about this past year—you’ve obviously been through some difficult things. How did the people around you help you cope?
Rihanna: My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God.
Glamour: Are you referring to the [Chris Brown] incident?
Rihanna: I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another.
Glamour: You’re talking about the photo [reportedly of Rihanna’s injured face taken by police after Brown assaulted her] that was allegedly leaked by cops. You handled that so well; you kept silent in the press.
Another track from Rihanna’s soon-to-be-released album Rated R has surfaced. The song is called “Hard” and it features Young Jeezy.
This is definitely the best track we’ve heard from the Rated R recording sessions. The beat goes hard and has a lot of swag but unfortunately, Jeezy’s verse is the standout of the song and Rihanna’s voice starts to get irritating after a bit. And it’s her damn song, SMH… There are a couple R&B chicks we could name that’d fit better on this track. But it is what it is. Peep the download link below.
Rihanna is getting ready to get on her promotional grind for her new album Rated R. She has unveiled the official track listing for the album, which hits stores November 23rd.
Also, the video for her second single “Wait Your Turn (The Wait is Ova)” is rumored to premiere today on her official website RihannaNow.com while the video for her first single “Russian Roulette” is also rumored to premiere on ABC on November 13th on ABC’s 20/20.
And this is the part where we all take a deeeep breath! (Whew!) … Is it just us or does anyone else feel like this project is a bit rushed? Since when has an artist debuted the video to her second single first and only a few days after the track has leaked?
Anyway, peep the track listing for Rated R after the break!
Rihanna’s second single from her upcoming album Rated R has leaked and we hate to say this, but … this one here isn’t much better than “Russian Roulette.”
The underwhelming track, called “Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova),” was produced by Chase ‘N’ Status and is nothing compared to the singles she had during her Good Girl Gone Bad era. Good thing she’s got that big interview with ABC because at this rate she’ll need all the promotion and sales she can get. Download the new song below:
Rihanna will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America next Thursday (Nov 5) at 7 am 20/20 Friday (Nov 6) at 10/9c to tell her side of “the story” for the very first time. All of this within the same month her new Rated R album drops. How convenient…
ABC News posted a promotional snippet for both of the big television exclusives Friday (Oct 30). Check it out after the cut!
Above is the official album cover to Rihanna’s upcoming album Rated R. The album will hit stores November 23rd and the video for the lead single “Russian Roulette” should premiere soon.
It seems she is seriously going all the way with this “dark” image. Oh and does anyone else find it just a coincidence that she unveils this the same day Chris premieres his new video? The people behind these two sure do know how to market a product!
Your boy Chris Brown just can’t let well enough be can he? The 20-year-old musician posted this YouTube video to his Twitter account earlier today along with the message, “IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT.” The video features a sad melodic backing track along with a montage of different pictures and video clips of Chris and his ex girlfriend Rihanna before their big fight back in February 2009 (almost a year ago).
Dude can’t legally speak to Rihanna (or even be in her presence) for 5 years so it’s high time he chills out or this half-decade is going to feel like half a century! We think he needs to just let this go and move on with his life. You don’t see Rihanna pouring her heart out all on her Twitter do you?
Check out this shot of him, Swizz Beatz and Lil Wayne on the set of Chris’ new music video, “I Can Transform Ya.”
And continue reading for a clip of the new video, set to premiere tomorrow on MTV!
According to reports, singer Rihanna will be debuting her second single “The Wait Is Ova” a few weeks before the November 23rd release of her album, Rated R. Producers Stargate and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen commented on the selection when they found out:
“We were just told that they go for ‘The Wait Is Ova’ as next single and that it will launch in a few weeks before the album release. It means a lot to us to be a part of a single-release in this format. … Our song is pretty a typical Rihanna and has a much harder sound than ‘Russian Roulette.’”
It also seems like Rihanna is starting the promo train already! She has been added to the performance line up for the 2009 American Music Awards on November 22nd, a day before her album release. Also slated to perform are Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Jennifer Lopez and Adam Lambert, whose debut CD also debuts on November 23rd.
