Rihanna: 'Every song on 'Unapologetic' means something to me'

'Umbrella' sensation Rihanna has revealed that every track on her brand new album, 'Unapologetic', has a significant meaning to her.

Speaking to MTV News, the Bajan beauty explained that upon hearing 'Diamonds' for the first time she knew it should be the lead single because of the tone and the message it contained, which rings true with the rest of the record's tracklisting:

"It was the right powerful record. It was hopeful. It was also different from what people are used to hearing from me. It was a song that meant something, and that's the whole theme throughout the album."

"With every song it's a different story, so the visuals are very specific to that story and that world. With 'Diamonds,' it was just a series of vignettes that we put together to help get the emotion across throughout the song because the song changes and it builds, and there's no real way that you could do that."

She added: "You just want people to feel that and I wanted little cutaways of interactions that would give you the right emotion."
