Nicki Minaj Says She's Excited About "New Sound" Of Next Solo Album

Nicki Minaj also revealed that she's ready to "lock in" for recording her third solo album.

It's been nearly two years since Nicki Minaj released her last studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

Now, the Harajuku Barbie is ready to get back in the lab.

"I'm definitely working," said Nicki in an interview with MTV. "I'm very excited with what I've been coming up with."

Nicki has already begun work on the project, but revealed that she's about to ramp up the recording process. "I already started, and I'm going home, actually tomorrow to really start. Like, I'm taking two months to just lock in. So I'm really excited, and the people that have been working with now have been people that I haven't worked with before, so it's like they're bringing a new sound to the album that I've never experimented with."

Nicki alluded that this album may have the Young Money rapper getting personal, something that she doesn't get to do as a featured artist. "Plus I've got so much to talk about. In the features, I don't really delve into no deep shit. And with the album, thank God, I've experienced so much in the last year-and-a-half that there's so much for me to talk about. I know my fans are gonna be excited about it."
