In short, it's a little dissapointing.
The song ,'Russian Roulette', is a slow, haunting ballad, the opposite to what most were expecting (a clubtastic poptastic dancetastic tastictastic tasticfest) and is decent enough Rihanna material but it just doesn't feel like 'lead single from important follow-up album' material to us.
The song is lyrically everything you'd expect from a song with such a title ('pull the trigger 'and 'take the gun' being two notable examples) but sonically is very different, bringing together funny little pained Rihanna breathy sounds, gunshots and revolver wheel sound effects as well as a head bopping rock drumloop.
Props to Princess RiRi for serving us something different, but we can't shake the slight feeling of mild dissapointment. We think it's a grower. Check it out yourself, what do you think?
