Rihanna: ‘Rated R’ Album Cover!
Check out Rihanna’s new album cover for Rated R, out November 23rd!
The grainy black-and-white cover was shot by iconic photographer Ellen von Unwerth in Berlin on October 8-9 (after Rihanna hit up Paris Fashion Week).
Von Unwerth tells Popeater, “Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album. She’s so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time–and a pleasure to shoot. We had so much fun giving her a bit of edge–I loved taking her beauty and finding a new dramatic look. She’s fantastic to work with–very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot, and ready to push the boundaries.”

Why is she so Dark and stuck on having a “edgy” look. Her personality seems push over…the complete opposite
I really like the picture, she looks a little scary though.
She is just a fake image, she was to push boundaries, but she is can’t even talk against domestic violence…
It’s nothing special
She is just trying to cultivate an image here; one that doesn’t match her actions. She’s not dark and edgy.
lovvee it!!! so firece!!
This is almost as bad as that fake fan cover.
This is the actual cover?
They could have done better.
hey Rihanna. U’re not Grace Jones.. ok?
Rihanna is fantastic and sure to have as much success as always, I love your new song!
They had to stick to black and white.
With the way her makeup has been lately, color would have been scary.
She is cribbing Grace Jones but lacks her fierceness.
The cover is dark , but I think people need to understand that this is probably where she is right now in her life. It can be a very dark place sometimes especial when you have to go through the stuff that she’s been through in these last couple of months. The world can be such a dark place , especially when you hear all these negative and nasty comments being thrown at her. Keep going Riri you would find the light and Joy you wants had again.Time heels all wounds.I’m going to keep praying for you, just remember God is love.
Is she covering another black eye? Too soon?
That’s a dude!
The problem I have with this girl is she has no talent, yeah! she has made money, not as much as they want us to believe but she has made some. She is known for a look, and that just sucks knowing there are artist that have way more talent than she does and they have to go through this rake over because people want to compare them to Rihanna. She has songs that have nice beats but she sings them and we all know she cant, cause of her tour and yet people have made this big show because of nothing… I just wish the music business had some integrity about it’s self and not this image era we have fallen into now for people to be something in it.. We are all about looks now and nothing worth while. I thank him for artist like Beyonce who will give you you’re monies worth and more and she can stand sideways, behind and infront of her art. Rihanna stands behind nothing but a image, only in America can we make people like Rihanna famous…So Sad!
It’s a lil naggy to say, but the symbol alone could be enough to know it’s Rihanna’s new (black) album. Hearsay should work quite well, so there’s no need to kinda ’sell’ her dark style on every cover art, just to let people know what she looks like.
This must be FAKE
It’s **** this cover
Hotness! She’s one of the greatest female musicians of all time. She looks amazing here.
The cover is completely contrived. She is out just about every day and night for a photo-op.
If someone like Alicia Keys had released this, I’d be more inclined to believe it as Keys is an actual artist who works out her issues through creativity and verse. Rihanna is just a media creation whose label is looking to capitalize on her domestic violence incident.
Sadly exploitation works. They know what formula sells CDs so I’m sure this will get good play.
She is horrible singer. That’s why she relies on gimmicks like exploiting the whole CB thing.
*SIDE EYE*
Whitney 2.0 minus the looks and talent.
Brown is her Bobby Brown.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A DISCO TRANNY.
Are her and CB a matched set?
I notice they keep releasing their stuff within days of each other.
You’d think there’d be some distance given their history.
