Producer Discusses Rihanna’s “Rated R” Album

There has been so much hype going on about Rihanna and the upcoming release of her album, Rated R. One of the producers of the album, Chuck Harmony, has given even more detail about the album, saying that her fans will be happy with the album and that it shows a lot of growth from her as a singer.

Chuck says that “Russian Roulette” fits well with the rest of the album and that the song is darker than what she’s done in the past.

He praises the work saying,"I think Rihanna has captured what her old fans are used to, as well as the growth of an artist. ‘Russian Roulette,’ to me, is a shining example of her growth and her artistic expression," he said. " ‘Russian Roulette’ is definitely taking her to another level. I think she’s a pop icon, so her music should reflect that."

Harmony also said that he worked with Rihanna on “Russian Roulette” and that he was pretty shocked to see that his song was chosen to be the first single, considering there were so many great tracks to chose from.

He continued to gush, “The way it’s unfolding is so genius. Like, ‘The wait is ova’ [message on her site]. I was waiting too. I wanted to see the cover, I wanted to hear the song. It’s one of those records where you just don’t know. It’s not a faith record. It’s one of those thought-provoking records."

Wow. This must be one pretty awesome album. The wait is unbearable! It’ll also be interesting when the official track listing is revealed. heck for Rihanna’s Rated R album in stores on November 23rd.
