Rihanna Plays Russian Roulette

The wait is definitely ova.
Rihanna streamed her new single, Russian Roulette on her website today, and although it's a darker sound than we're used to from the R&B pop princess, we have to say we're loving it.
We'll have to wait until 11/23 to hear the rest of her album, called Rated R, but this is definitely a newer, harder Rihanna than we've seen before. Instead of offering her umbrella as shelter, it sounds like she may pull a Britney and beat you over the head with it!
The gun themed song, co-written and produced by Ne-Yo, references her tumultuous history with Chris Brown.
“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,” Rihanna sings. “So just pull the trigger.”
The track ends with the sound of a gunshot, another ode to her recent fascination with guns.
So do you love it?
Or do you hate it?
