Rihanna has sparked lots of discussion over her new dark single “Russian Roullette.” This comes to no surprise if you’ve listened to the track and got the feeling that someone is reminding you with death messages. Many people are talking about this track being suicidal and many are in defense to it claiming that it’s not.
Ne-Yo wrote the lyrics for Rihanna and was the best to explain what the meaning behind her darkness..
"I’m listening to the track, and all I can see is Rihanna and some random person sitting across from each other at the table with a gun sitting in the middle of the table and playing Russian roulette. And I just started thinking, ‘What would go through your mind if you was in that situation?’ It just all started coming together, and Rihanna has never been one to be afraid to take a chance, especially with me. She’s always game to do something a little different. I played it for her, and she loved it — went in and knocked it out. The rest is history.”
“It’s definitely dark, but if you think about it, ‘Thriller’ was dark, but it’s one of the biggest-selling records of all time. Nobody’s really going out to play Russian roulette or thinking about killing themselves or nothing like that. It was just an interesting topic over a crazy beat, and who better to pull that off than somebody like Rihanna?”
