Nicki Minaj, the shape shifter of modern music, explodes
with exuberant sounds on her new long anticipated second CD, Pink Friday: Roman
Reloaded. The one moment she channels Lady Gaga, the next David Bowie, then
again Missy Elliot and lastly jumping on the glam rock sounds of Garry Glitter.
And then there's the accent that keeps changing. The hip-hop-shiny-pop album is
brash, bold and supersized. It's rap Vs hip-hop Vs disco and teen pop. As
Rolling Stone magazine says: “Roman Reloaded veers into radio pop, serving up club
anthems, clobbering ballads and, on the Dr. Luke-produced "Young
Forever," the most shameless Rihanna-wanna-be song ever recorded, a tune
worthy of the ambition”. And be warmed, Nicki Minaj is X-rated. Her song titles
include Come On A Cone, Sex In The Lounge and Whip It, but then being
in-your-face is all part of her schtick. In a nutshell, the CD won’t disappoint
fans and will most definitely get her a bunch of new followers.
