Provocative Cover Art of Rihanna’s ‘Wait Your Turn’ Revealed

The Barbados R&B starlet has been everywhere as of late, especially in the process of completing her fourth studio album. Rihanna was recently on both ‘Good Morning, America’ and ‘20/20’ speaking about her ordeal that she went through with her then-boyfriend Chris Brown back in February. In her progress of trying to move forward from the past, she continues to record music for her upcoming album she has entitled ‘Rated R.’ Her first single ‘Russian Roulette’ was written and produced by the talented Ne-Yo, while the follow up single was just recently released entitled ‘Hard’ written by The Dream and produced by Tricky Stewart also featured the talents of Atlanta MC, Young Jeezy.

Not only is the music the interesting part of the new album, the cover art photography is also sparking some interest as she has decided to take the risqué approach revealing more of her body to a world that has already seen all of it.

The album cover was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth, who said Rihanna was “so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time — and a pleasure to shoot” in an interview with PopEater.com. “[She is] fantastic to work with — very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot and ready to push the boundaries.”

Here is the official cover for the promo single ‘Wait Your Turn:’

At press time, ‘Rated R’ has been officially set to be released on November 20.

Rihanna has always had a fine body, but all that leaked to the net a while back. So things that she’s not showing, we’ve already seen, so in essence it is sexy, but an original idea. Need a change of idea……
