After many a promo/buzz tracks ("Stupid Hoe", "Roman In Moscow", "Va Va Voom"), Trinidadian-American star Nicki Minaj has unveiled the lead single to be taken from her "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" LP, the euro-trash piece "Starships".
The track, produced by RedOne, Carl Falk (Darren Hayes, Nicole Scherzinger) and Rami Yacoub (One Direction, Britney Spears), is a far cry from Minaj's mixtape days of traditional hip-hop. The single sounds more like a pop-dance number than any of previous material, which we're sure will divide old school fans of the Barbie-like star.
MTV caught up with RedOne to talk through his working experience with Minaj: "Working with Nicki is amazing, 'cause she's so talented," he said. "There's nothing that inspires me more than raw, really good talent, big talent. I see that in Nicki, and of course, she's proven to be who she is. For me, [it was] a beautiful experience. There's a lot of love there. We respect each other a lot, and I think it's really key. We've done a few songs, and I think it's going to be very, very special. I'm excited."
So now it's up to her fans - are you a lover or a hater of Minaj's new sound? Take a listen to "Starships" below.
"Starships" is available digitally today [iTunes]
