Singer Rihanna, who is getting ready to release her fifth studio album “Loud” in November, graces the cover of latest issue of Billboard Magazine. In the article titled “The Re-Reinvention of Rihanna”, the 22 year-old sets herself apart from other artists when it comes to personal style and basically slams Lady GaGa’s style.

Rihanna believes that her album “Rated R” showed she is not some futile and shallow artist and refuses to talk about Chris Brown, claiming the song “Love The Way You Lie”, out of Eminem’s “Recovery” album, closed that domestic violence chapter.

Here are some highlights from Rihanna’s Billboard interview:

On people who dress like Lady Gaga: “A lot of people dress like Lady Gaga now. I’ve just stepped off into a whole new look and style. The whole shoulder pad thing, and the architectural look, is so sharp-edged and tough. I’m over that. I like floral prints now, which I never liked. Trends are boring. It’s boring to see everyone doing the same thing.”

On her last album, Rated R, and Chris Brown: “’Rated R’ showed that I wasn’t a shallow artist,” she says. “I have some depth. There was definitely some growth, going through that dark moment in my life.” Rihanna never refers to her relationship with Brown in specifics and says she “definitely” prefers to let “Love the Way You Lie” speak for itself, which of course is made easier by the fact that it’s not on her own album. “It’s kind of like the closing to that chapter, and now we’re in a new stage,” she says.
