I haven't heard a song from Rihanna that was kinda pure pop rock from Rihanna besides Shut Up & Drive and I still wouldn't consider that rock but just pop

Russian Roullete = Unfaithful ?

When you listen to Unfaithful, it is obvious what the song is about. But when you listen RR, it's dark and for the first listen you'll probably won't know what it is about. Because it's a metaphor. You & Yourself need to define the song because it has more than one meaning, unlike Unfaithful.
Hard is
nothing like LYF or RTT. Rihanna never done a song like it.
Rude Boy like the MOTS and AGLM era?

RB is different because its the first time Rihanna talks about sex bluntly in a song.
Oh well. Rude Boy is still increasing in all formats, so it's going to take time for R101 to break through, but I'll support it anyway.
