Rihanna: ‘I’m Fearless’
Posted by Adam
RIHANNA says she looks at things differently after the events of the past year.
The Umbrella singer — who was left battered and bruised after a fight with boyfriend Chris Brown in February this year — says she has grown up and become “fearless”.
“I definitely grew up, my outlook on life in general, I look at things differently,” she said.
“It really just tells stories,” Rihanna said her new album, Rated R. “It’s the most personal album I have to date, definitely the most sincere, but very fearless and edgy. It’s dark, the lyrics are kind of risque at times.
“Just my whole thing when I was making my album was I just wanted to be myself as much as possible and I have my own attitude, I have my own taste and I wanted to connect with that because it’s unique.”
The 21-year-old recently spoke out about February’s attack in a series of intimate interviews.
“I never spoke about it before so it was definitely a great burden off my chest. It was a release,” she said.
The video for Rihanna’s new single, Russian Roulette, is being released on Friday November 13.
“It’s kind of twisted but it’s going to make people think,” she said of the video. “There’s a great message and story behind it. Russian Roulette is all about a fear, whether it be fear of love or a fear of getting hurt, whether it be emotionally or physically.”
