Nicki Minaj’s cover art for her new album is just as colorful as her singles. Check out what she had to say about the style of music she chooses to do below:
Nicki Minaj is unrecognizable in the new cover art for the Deluxe Edition of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The Deluxe version of the LP features Nicki Minaj in a blonde wig, covered with paint and showing off an eyeful of boobage. [Nipple not included]
Meanwhile, Nicki recently caught up with Vibe to dish on what to expect from her new album. She says that the project was free and exhilarating for her and has no boundaries. She also doesn’t want to be strictly labeled as rap or pop:
I’m not going to break my album down based on percentage of rap and singing. What it is, is amazing music. And what it is, is music that I created and I had a blast making and it’s going to be very free and exhilarating.
It’s going in a very free, exhilarating direction in terms of me owning who I am and me enjoying the process of making music. I think that when you get the album you’ll feel as if I had absolutely no boundaries. That’s probably the best way to explain it so that you understand. The album just has no boundaries. The album cannot be boxed in.
On what type of balance the album will have
You know what, I cannot break my album down into how the normal person like yourself would break an album down and say, well this is rap and this is pop. There is no rap or pop for me. It’s Nicki Minaj. It’s one collective body of amazing work. You’ll feel it. I don’t like the labels because sometimes just by one word or one label, a person can take that the wrong way and apply a negative spin to that. So I don’t give my music labels.
It looks as though her ‘rap’ releases ain’t paying the bills anymore. Her pop releases, however, have been killing the charts. ‘Starships’ is currently at #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and her collab with David Guetta ‘Turn Me On’ is following close behind at #8.
