Starships

Well, it's taken me a couple days, which was mostly due to the fact that I couldn't really formulate the words to describe the video, but I will now briefly share my thoughts on Nicki Minaj's new video for her lead single "Starships" on her latest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The video is basically all Nicki just being her normal, crazy self, and rolling around in a chlorine-colored wig and getting her trash dance on on the beach. The video was directed by Anthony Mandler (of Heidi Montag's "Higher" fame) and while I get that Nicki is going for the whole sex appeal route, I'm not feeling this video. She could have gone so much crazier. What do you think about the new "Starships" video?!

Let's Talk About The New Nicki Single

Just yesterday, after her Grammy performance that I still can't find the words to describe, Nicki Minaj has released yet another single off her upcoming album rerelease, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (April 3rd). The single is called "Starships" and like her performance, I still don't know how I feel about it. That being said, it has an infection beat and it's more of the "Right Thru Me" Nicki than Mixtape Minaj. But I think the most interesting thing about it all is that it sounds like a year-end mashup of all the top ten hits of last year. It's got touches Pink, LMFAO, David Guetta and so many others stuffed throughout but somehow it all pieces together rather nicely. Let's just hope that the album can cohesively tie together the schizophrenic releases we've seen recently... Take a listen to the single below!
