Last Saturday we saw photos of Rihanna on the set of her new music video and you may recall she was rockin’ an eye patch for the shoot. Today we get to see more photos from the music video shoot AND we get to hear a snippet of the song itself. First up, the pics:
You may recall that Rihanna posted a tweet on her official Twitter profile which announced the presumed release date of her new album (November 23) along with the line The Wait Is Ova. It was speculated that that might be the title of her album … and it very well may be … but new video from the shoot of her music video gives us a sneak listen of the first single and the line The Wait Is Ova is clearly heard in the song. Chances are, that’s the name of the single (and possibly the album as well). After the jump, check out the video and hear for yourselves …
It’s hard to judge the song from just this clip but … it sounds like it could be a hit. I can’t wait to hear it in full … the wait is, indeed, over and I couldn’t be more excited. Woot!! What do y’all think … do you like what you hear?
UPDATE: Ryan Seacrest just updated his Twitter account with the following announcement:
heads up – tomorrow i’ll have @rihanna’s new single “russian roulette” at 8:23am pst/11:23am est. I’ll link u when i get it
I guess the song title isn’t The Wait Is Ova despite the fact that she sings the line in the song. HMMM. Well, we’ll know tomorrow what the song sounds like so … it won’t be long now.

[...] Rihanna has a new song and video coming out. And she’s wearing an eye patch. I’ll withhold judgment. [...]
The hair, the clothes, the EYEPATCH! I agree with Nicola. Rihanna was pretty when she first started out, and even in that ridiculous Umbrella song, the short hair still worked.
Then she started shaving it and working a hairstyle that my ex-mother in law would wear. Now she looks like a fugly cockatiel died on her head.
She reads too much of her own press and must think she’s some kind of style icon. Or not. LiLo dresses better, cracky mc’cracky that she is.

I just don’t “get” her she is beautiful but she doesn’t dance and she can’t sing so why/how does she have a career?
Every year American Idol brings like 250 ppl to LA all of whom at least can sing.
Rolltide, it wasn’t up to her to press charges. It is the state that does that in cases like these, not the victim. She didn’t “let him off the hook”, she isn’t with him now and he is picking up garbage! Women are victimized everday, you are right about that. But no one expects those women to exploit their situation the way they expect Rhianna to. When women find the courage to speak up and help others with abuse it is usually privately and after they have healed…and no one has any idea if Rhianna has healed yet. At the end of the day, she is a human first, pop star second. She doesn’t owe anyone anything. It is my opinion that people who make demands of victims are pretty cruel.
