The R&B songstress Rihanna has finally premiered a dark and gothic themed music video for her latest and promotional song "Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)," on late Tuesday via the popstar's official site RihannaNow, and also released the tracklisting of 13 songs for her upcoming album "Rated R," which is scheduled for a release date of November 23. The song was written by The-Dream and produced by StarGate and co-produced with Chase & Status. The first play of "Wait Your Turn" was on Radio 1.The grainy, raw, black and white music video "Wait Your Turn" was shot in Washington Heights, New York City on October 16, and was directed by frequent Rihanna collaborator Anthony Mandler, who also directed for Jay-Z's dark video "Run This Town". There's no plot to speak of, just Rihanna singing to the chorus, the clip features black-and-white scenes, capturing Rihanna wearing an eye patch and a high-necked jacket in one scene sporting her Road Runner hairstyle while traipsing around a desolate park, a rooftop overlooking Manhattan and a bridge. There are also scenes where the Barbadian songstress is sporting a black hoodie and singing the song in a church, and later, hugs a white statue of an angel, all while showing some skin in a black bustier, naturally.
"I was involved in a lot of the writing," Rihanna previously told Glamour magazine about her new album. "I put everything I've wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. The songs are really personal. It's rock and roll, but it's really hip-hop: If Lil Wayne and Kings of Leon like my album, then I'll feel good.""I would not change anything about it. Even if people don't love it, I made exactly the piece of art that I wanted to make. It's super fearless - which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place," she continued. Young Jeezy, will.i.am and Slash are confirmed as featured guests in the album.
In addition to "Wait Your Turn" video, fans can also expect another video from Rihanna coming out next Friday, November 13 on ABC following her "20/20" interview. Directed also by Anthony, this forthcoming video is aimed to promote her single "Russian Roulette", which is penned by Ne-Yo and picked up as the lead single.
