Pop superstar Rihanna has admitted that the photo on the cover of her forthcoming new record is "the most unpretty" she's ever had taken and that's why she chose it. 

In a newly released video, entitled '21 days to 'Talk That Talk', the Bajan beauty can be seen pondering over different pictures for the record's final cover and she eventually settles on the least stereotypical and most striking of the two:

"This, to me, is the most unpretty cover I've ever done, and that's why I like it."

"It's not about what I look like, how smooth and perfect it is - it's what my eyes say. My eyes say everything. I don't even care that it's not cute, I have something to say. I've got to 'Talk That Talk'."

'Talk That Talk' is due for release on November 21 and you can watch how she chose the album's cover in the exclusive clip below:
