General concern with the album: I also thought she wanted to go for a mature sound, but Anaconda is the silliest song on radio to be honest. She shot the Anaconda video ages ago too, so some of her lies are actual lies to throw us off.
I'm thinking if she's comfortable enough to release Anaconda with a straight face, she should have one or two dance tracks. The album is going to be a proper mix-up sound-wise anyway.

I didn't like how she had such a drastic shift. I always say that there is a way to reinvent yourself without confusing your audience.
That said, if she put out 6 strong images (single covers/videos/looks/ lyrics) that represented 6 different aspects of a female rapper then I could handle it.
1) Introspective, vulnerable side PNP SPRING
2) Fun, energetic, mindless sex symbol Anaconda SUMMER
3) Mature, baby making slow jam/mid tempo sensual song FALL
4) Motivational, inspirational, aspirational song WINTER
5) Ratchet, gritty yet still commercial triumphant, feel good anthemic song SPRING
6) Bragging rights stuntin on dem lessers SUMMER
Introspection, fun, sensual, motivational-in/aspriational, triumphant and then just stuntin on lessers
I think that would work. A femcee of the future can't be one dimensional.
She'll have to be multi faceted and Nicki can be that PinkPrint how to serve Lauryn, Missy, Kim, Foxy, Remy, Eve, Queen la and Nicki all in one well defined package.
I loved your old one.
