Rihanna’s ‘Russian Roulette’ video has surfaced, In the video Rihanna is a hooded prisoner, bleeding from the neck in a chair, dancing in a gas chamber and finally floating in the water as bullets pierce through her neck. ‘Grey’s Anatomy”s Jesse Williams plays her bloodthirsty love interest. “Roulette” is a moody, artful thing, but it’s also quite difficult — like the song itself, this isn’t your typical pop fare. It’s minimal, pulsing, and there is an unspoken tension (which sort of makes sense, since playing Russian roulette isn’t exactly a vacation). Rihanna is clearly taking more than a few risks with R — she’s stretching her legs and flexing her artistic muscles. Obviously, she has a lot of material to draw from, but the question is, will her fans take her new sound — and style — in stride? Will this song stick at radio stations after the initial fervor surrounding it dissipates?
We’ll just have to wait and see. If “Russian Roulette” is any indicator, it’s certainly going to be an interesting ride. you be the judge!
