Chris Brown with Rihanna

Hey, don't be mad at me for comparing Chris Brown and Rihanna's brand new singles. The former pop couple decided to release their first official post-incident songs just three weeks apart.

Chris' "I Can Transform Ya," featuring Lil' Wayne and Swizz Beatz, was released on September 19, and Rihanna's eerie "Russian Roulette" ballad premiered on her site, RihannaNow.com, Tuesday.

The lyrics of both songs are quite suggestive.

On "I Can Transform Ya," Chris brags about his ability to buy his female pursuit whatever it takes to "mold," "build" or "transform" her.

On "Russian Roulette," Rihanna sings about her unconditional love for a mate, who lures her into a round of the life-threatening game.
"I Can Transform Ya" is the stronger pop song. Chris revisits his dance roots with a track heavy on futuristic synthesizers and syncopated handclaps.

Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" is not what I expected. Considering her feature on Jay-Z's "Run This Town," I anticipated her returning with a harder, driving record; something like her song "Disturbia."
A song like Destiny's Child's "Survivor," Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" or Mary J. Blige's "Not Gon Cry" would have been too predictable and over the top for Rihanna's comeback song, but I think it would have been a good idea for her to send the message that she is okay.

Instead, "Russian Roulette" tells the story of a girl, who is scared and nervously taking the lead from someone who is testing her, encouraging her to play a game that could turn deadly.

But it's the song's ending that creeps me out the most. After Rihanna stops singing, and the music ends, there is a brief moment of silence. Then comes a single gun shot.

If Rihanna wants us to know that she is still healing, she makes her point very clearly.

The song does make me curious about the direction Rihanna takes on the rest of the "Rated R" album due out on November 23.

Chris, on the other hand, seems unaffected and back to his usual antics. His album, "Graffiti," is due out December 15.
