Nicki Minaj Tailors New Album, Talks Signature Sound

Although most widely known as a rapper, Young Money up and comer Nicki Minaj says her album is going to have its own unique sound, something much broader than the ranger of hip hop.

Nicki says she's still working on the project and is hoping to assemble an eclectic cast of players to finish things up.

"All of my biggest records that I've done so far for the album have been just me alone," she revealed in an interview featured on NewLilWayne.com. "I don't really know if I wanna do too many features for my album because I think my mixtapes have been, you know, inundated with features and people need to know who Nicki Minaj is now. And as of right now as far as producers I have a lot of up-and-coming producers and I'm not big on, you know, big name producers although I'd love to work with Will.I.Am. And as far as artists go, you know, I just don't know at this point. I love people like Natasha Bedingfield, I love her singing voice and Amy Winehouse's singing voice and I'd like to gear my album probably towards pop so probably if anything I'll have a lot of those type of features on it. But not too much rap because I am a rap girl and thats what I do and I don't think I need to have many different rappers on my album."

Although Nicki is affiliated with Lil' Wayne, she is not signed to his Young Money imprint.

At press time, there was no release date or title in sight for Nicki's album.
