Rated R

Rihanna has been a staple in the spotlight all year, but she's finally getting attention for her music! When discussing her album Rated R that drops on November 23, she admits that the recording process played a part in her healing. "I walked out of the studio a few times just trying not to be in tears," she tells the AP. "It was about me, and so much so that songs got really personal to the point where it took three months for me to start recording it because it was too deep for me to even listen to." Amongst the "deep" songs on her album, she's most excited for fans to hear a track called "Stupid in Love." "Venting is a part of moving on, like you have to get it out no matter what, and this album for me helped me do that — being in the studio, writing, working with producers and songwriters, making music." Are you psyched for her new album? Tell us below!
