Rihanna usually impresses with her elaborate dance routines and daring stage outfits but, last night on Saturday Night Live, it was all about her vocals. Check out the two videos below for confirmation.

The pop star is now promoting a brand new album: called “Unapologetic,” it will be out in music stores later this month and, by the looks of it, it will be a very interesting (in the best way possible) mix of different sounds.

On SNL, Rihanna showcased two songs: “Diamonds,” which is also the first single and already has an official music video out, and “Stay,” which she never performed live before.

For both, she showed lots of control and quite an impressive range, putting her everything into the performance, in a way she hadn’t done in quite some time.

Enjoy!
