Cardi B Vows to Stop Overthinking Her Next Album After Fan Feedback
She says the songs that came together easily connected most with fans, guiding a looser, instinctive approach.
Overview
- In a Dec. 4 X Spaces chat, she outlined plans for the follow-up to her September No. 1 album Am I the Drama?.
- She said she has historically overthought tracks—sometimes spending nearly two weeks on one—and now wants to lead with what feels good.
- She pointed to fan response as proof, citing ErrTime as a song made quickly that listeners embraced.
- She explained that more guest features were originally planned, but some collaborators delayed or didn’t fit the songs, so their verses were cut.
- She added that she asks engineers to soften mixes she finds too aggressive, referenced drill and early‑2000s East Coast influences, and rejected claims her lyrics center only on sex.
