It took Rihanna some time to speak up after being assaulted by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but now that she’s opened her mouth it seems that she can’t stop. Following her recent interview with Dianne Sawyer, Rihanna’s letting her music do the talking.

Her new single “Russian Roulette” seems to be a way of exorcising those demons. This is seriously dark stuff, a world away from the playful Rihanna who released bubbly pop hits “S.O.S” and “Umbrella.”

The music video is as brooding as the song itself, with Rihanna trapped in a gas chamber, shot underwater, and in an obvious reference to her own troubled relationship, assaulted in a vehicle. But through it all she survives … unlike the man in her life. Take note Chris Brown!
