It's been a highly publicised turbulent year for Robyn '
Rihanna' Fenty, with her assault in February catapulting her into a strange place of sensationalised super stardom that even her mega-hit "Umbrella" didn't garner. But whilst she has been ever-present on blogs and gossip pages, she didn't utter a word on record and her silence transcended into music; we didn't hear so much as a leaked interlude until
very recently.
Rihanna didn't talk until the promotional engine was in motion, leading many to regard
Rated R as the aural response to her relationship with
Chris Brown.
