Inside Rihanna's Comeback

New Single Hitting Airwaves Today; Diane Sawyer Interview Planned

UPDATE: 10.20.09: On the heels of announcing the release of "Rated R," Rihanna's much anticipated fourth studio album, which hits shelves on November 23, the R&B darling is planning a sit-down interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer (details on the time and date have yet to be announced). This will be her first interview since the highly publicized altercation with Chris Brown earlier this year. "Russian Roulette," the first single from her album, written by Ne-Yo, will launch today on radio and her official Web site. Meanwhile, the video for the single is set to premiere in prime time on ABC. Check out the song here.—Nazenet Habtezghi

It seems as if Rihanna has had her fill of fashion shows and paparazzi moments. The Barbados born singer is finally on her way back to her first love—music, according to People.com.

"The wait is ova," she wrote on Twitter, giving November 23 as the date for what we can only suspect is the release of her next single.

She's rumored to be working with Ne-Yo, The-Dream, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Akon just to name a few on this album. It will be her first project since 2007's "Good Girl Gone Bad."—WLW

This song is horrible. Ne Yo wrote this!!!Unbelievable. If someone was really suicidal then this song would have done them in, disappointed Rihanna.

Rihanna is no different than Ciara, or Cassie or any of the other artist today who are pretty much smoke and mirrors. Pretty faces with great styling team absolutely no talent and their record label tries to pass them off as singers.

I like Rihanna\'s music but this song is irresponsible. Unfortunately, she is the victim in all of this but is paying the price for Chris Brown\'s actions.
