Rihanna song leaks, interview set for this week By Mariel Concepcion

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Another track from Rihanna's upcoming "Rated R" album, a song titled "Wait Your Turn (The Wait Is Ova)," has leaked on the Internet days before she gives her first public interview since the February altercation involving ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Not nearly as dark as first single "Russian Roulette," the song -- which leans more toward a hip-hop feel than pop -- finds the Barbados native tapping into her island drawl.

"I pitch with a grenade / swing away if you're feeling brave / there's so much power in my name... I'm such a fragile lady / you don't have to be afraid," Rihanna twangs over a static thump and handclaps.

Rihanna's Def Jam Records label, did not return calls about whether "Wait Your Turn" is actually the second single from the album, which is set for a November 23 release.

Rihanna will appear on "Good Morning America" on Thursday and a special "20/20" episode on Friday, having kept largely silent about her showdown with Brown in Los Angeles. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault, and was sentenced to probation and community labor.
