This contravercial Rhianna album cover emulates completely the rock, edgy genre she wants to transform from pop into. The razorblade and blood like text connotes horror, which may symbolise the horror of her life, or society in her music. Additionally the connection with death in this font type may
represent the death of her mainstream pop image. which she has transformed from. The physical image of Rhianna coincides with the over aesthetic, her naked body covered in barbed wire is extremely sexual and provocative portraying her unconventional ideologies and music. Further more the image connotes the idea that she is chained or draped in her life and her music is an outlet for this, also reaches out to her audience who might feel the same.
The title of the album ' Russian roulette' connotes with ultimatums of life and death, living of the edge and a gambling mentality, this may appeal to her audience as she is a sexually empowered woman that task ricks not just in life but in her music, innovativly becoming anti mainstream to convey her individuality. The colour scheme, red black and white is simple but powerful and striking, personifying her character and music.
