Female rapper Nicki Minaj has recently released the official audio (listen below) for her new track, 'Pills N Potions', which is taken from her upcoming third studio album, entitled The Pink Print. The new single marks a new understated sound from Minaj, and the song features a drum beat and piano accompaniment which add to the simplistic style which allows Minaj's rapping (and singing) to truly shine through. By the sounds of the new track, it looks as if it may have a more universal appeal to musical audiences, considering its less wacky or zany lyrical basis, when compared to previous Minaj songs (in which her alter egos take over).
The simple use of percussion instruments and beats make for a track which is easy to listen to, and the more personal lyrics about someone who has wronged the singer make the piece more identifiable, and will no doubt appeal to a multitude of listeners. The juxtaposition of rapping to piano actually makes for a rather intriguing listen, and one that sounds like the track has more depth than just the superficial sugar coating that sometimes Minaj's songs fall into the trap of. Overall Minaj seems to have struck gold with her latest addition, and it seems like The Pink Print will be a success (and worth listening to) if her other songs follow the same suit. Now all that's left is to anticipate the arrival of what hopefully will be a great and poignant video from the singer. You can listen to the official audio for the track below:
