Rihanna's 20/20 full interview with Diane Sawyer - does it promote her forthcoming CD titled Rated R? The full 20/20 interview aired Friday night on ABC television and was posted online today at the 20/20 website.
The interview primarily focuses on the singer's personal story of her troubled relationship with singer, Chris Brown; however, some will see the timing of the interview as important for the pop star's image and future sales of her new CD, Rated R. She does not mention the CD in the interview, one side of the discussion may state correctly. The album releases in just over 2 weeks, the other side of the discussion may also state rightly.
At one point in the interview, Rihanna mentions how she was not going to let going back with her boyfriend, who was convicted in court of physically abusing her on a night in February, cost her the "empire" she had worked so hard to build.
Song titles on the CD have listeners wondering how much they may reflect what the pop singer has lived through this year. A track listing appears below.
