Review – Nicki Minaj Album “Pink Friday”
Nicki Minaj is known
worldwide for her quirky, fanatical and flamboyant sense of style and music,
and her single ‘Starships’ certainly expresses this perfectly.
Out of all the ludicrous
popstars in the charts at the moment, Nicki Minaj easily leads the bunch. In
the release of her new album, Pink Friday - which also happens to be the name
of her alter ego – her bizarre but hip-hop, crowd-pleasing 'Stupid Hoe', has
turned heads, and showed off her outstanding individuality. The song’s rapid
pace, choppy beat, and eccentric sound effects have shown that Nicki Minaj has
really raised the stakes in the industry, and she is definitely the one to look
out for.
But while 'Starships' is
undoubtedly more radio-friendly, thankfully it remains just as manic. Produced
by some most successful people in the industry, Lady GaGa, Hitmaker, and
RedOne, Minaj spits about ‘touching the sky’ and ‘hitting the floor’ using a
toe-tapping guitar riff. On paper, it sounds dreadfully generic (it's effectively
based on Sean Kingston's 'Fire Burning' and Britney's 'Till The World Ends'),
but it still seems to come across refreshingly different. How did she do this?
I’m still not sure, but with a mix of her uniqueness and, of course, her
bonkers personality, she manages to up her game, and impress her fans, song
after song.
