Nicki Minaj Premieres “Starships”: Listen Now!

Continuing her reign over the pop music realm, Nicki Minaj premiered her brand new single “Starships” from her forthcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded today (February 14) on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show.

The “Super Bass” babe explained that her new album is going to be simply brilliant. “I’ve never had this much fun recording music in my life. My first album I was very guarded. I felt like I was making music to please everyone else. I had to be politically correct, but this album I am just creating music, and it there’s such a big difference. Literally in the studio we were cracking up laughing, having fun, and enjoying ourselves.”

“The music itself your going to get every side that I’ve ever shown and then a little bit extra. I’ve tried to make it very, very balanced, because I don’t ever want to be boxed in, and that’s always what drives me. So I made a very diverse album.”

Nicki also gushed about working with RedOne on “Starships.” “There was so much love surrounding the making of the song, because RedOne is just so sweet to work with. He just sent me that one day and he said, ‘Hey, I got something for you!’ I was like ‘You got to be kidding me, right?’ I went to the studio and started writing…scratch that…I didn’t even write the first verse! That was just me mumbling and just saying the first thing that came to my head, and we recorded it, because I just felt…like let’s go to the beach…let’s go get away…It was just so good. It feels good!”
