Rihanna 2

Another thought, maybe a strange comparison in that the connection is just that the two of them were interviewed on TV, but...

Consider, when she was faced with the most important interview of her life, how much more thought Rihanna gave to who she was and what she was about, and what her responsibilities as a public figure were, than Sarah Palin did when she was faced with the most important interview of her life thirteen-and-a-half months ago.

The recording experience was different because it was from a completely new mind space, from a different perspective. Usually I was thinking of fun stories, things to talk about, different topics that might be cool, but this time is really about my life

The danger here is that if she's steered the album towards "darkness" and "not fun" and "not cool" - if that's where she's headed - the darkness may not be potent, no matter what her feelings or her life are truly like. Darkness being the expected expression, given what happened to her, it might no longer have aesthetic impact, unless she can find a way to make it idiosyncratic and novel and surprising.
