Similar to the arrival of a woman’s monthly cramps, the release of Rihanna’s albums seems to adhere to a fixed period, namely during the second half of November. So, now that she is equipped with a new single and hairstyle, it came as no surprise today when the Bajan unveiled the title and cover of her latest LP, which will be released later this year.
Preceded by the single ‘Diamonds’, ‘Unapologetic’ is expected to hit stores by the end of November. The record stands as Rihanna’s seventh album in as many years, following her ‘Talk That Talk’ album, which has sold over 1.01 million copies in the US since being released on November 18th 2011.
Thus far, ‘Diamonds’ has peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 but performed far better in other territories. In fact, the song recently became Rihanna’s seventh #1 single on the Official UK Singles Chart and narrowly beat Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ in the race to the summit of the lineup.

dont like this cover
Could all those other words hint at the track listing as well coz I spotted “diamonds” somewhere there?#wondering
Ugly! It looks like that Dixie Chicks mag cover from years ago. I hated that and I hate this.
these cheap covers
I think the album is called Side-Effects?

I mean I like the idea of having words all over her body BUT she could have done it in a better way. Plus, I think a black background would have made it look even better. HOWEVER, It’s nowhere near as bad as Nicki’s new cover.
I guess we are on the same page. So CHEAP. I’ll rather download for free than to spend my money buying the shit.
[...] Rihanna Reveals Title & Cover Of New Album [...]
*DEAD* at the first line! Trent you really ain’t shit! LMAO! Anywho, the cover it typical Rihanna, sex, sex and……. wait for it…. MORE SEX! Clearly she relies heavily on the sex sells theory because that’s what she’s been givin us for the past 7 years.
The album cover looks cheap & tacky to me especially with the writing all over her body. It looks like something I could have done in photoshop. But I’m sure her brain dead stans will love it since they love everything their manufactured ‘Queen’ puts out. Blah.
It looks a hell of a lot better than Sicki Garabaj album covet though.
I love me some Rihanna but that cover looks sloppy.
I’m sorry, but what is this!?
…and here we go again with Rihanna copying Janet’s Discipline cover with writing on her body….I swear, Riri STAYS copying Janet since her LOUD album….first the red hair from The Velvet Rope era, then the 90′s grunge look from Janet’s Poetic Justice days and now this!?
Nothing Rihanna does surprises me anymore. The albums, the singles, the art covers…nothing. I respect her as an “artist” (in her case I use that term extremely loosely.) But alas it’s the usual sell sex, sex, sex. And it’ll be a hit because my general doesn’t know how to think for their damn selves. I’m going to go weep for humanity now. .-.
