Cardi B Teases Potential Track from Upcoming Album
As fans eagerly anticipate new music from Cardi B, the rapper teased a potential track from her upcoming album in a recent Instagram story. In the story posted on Monday, Cardi B can be heard singing over Janet Jackson’s “Funny How Time Flies (When You’re Having Fun),” with the words “Yall like this vibe for CB2?” written across the screen. (CB2 is a placeholder title for her sophomore album).
The lyrics sung by Cardi B in the teaser include lines like “I hope that you on your way, crazy ’bout you” and “waiting on you, can’t wait to sit on that face, focused on you.” The track she sampled from Janet Jackson’s third studio album “Control” has been used by various artists in the past, showcasing its enduring appeal and influence in the music industry.
This teaser comes after Cardi B previously hinted at a follow-up to her debut album “Invasion of Privacy.” While there was some confusion earlier this year regarding the release of the album, Cardi B’s representative confirmed to Rolling Stone that she will be releasing a new album in 2024.
In recent months, Cardi B has been keeping busy with collaborations and features. She was featured on Rolling Stone’s March cover star Peso Pluma’s album “Éxodo” and also appeared in a remix of Glorilla’s “Wanna Be” alongside Megan Thee Stallion. When asked about her approach to releasing new music, Cardi B explained to Rolling Stone that she creates music based on her mood, drawing inspiration from her personal experiences.
Cardi B also opened up about her perfectionism when it comes to her music, revealing that she is highly critical of her image and sound. She shared a vulnerable moment when a harsh critique from a TikTok user made her cry, emphasizing how seriously she takes her craft.
“I take my music so seriously that that’s why I don’t put it out,” Cardi B said. “Because if it’s not perfect to my ear, if every word doesn’t sound like it’s pronounced right, if the beat overpowers the words, or the words overpower the beat, I don’t want to put it out.”
As fans continue to eagerly anticipate Cardi B’s new album, this teaser provides a glimpse into the creative process and sound that the rapper is exploring for her sophomore release. Stay tuned for more updates on Cardi B’s highly anticipated upcoming music.
