Cardi B Announces New Album, “Am I The Drama?”
Cardi B announces new album, titled “Am I the drama?”, set to premiere on September 19th. With this being Cardi’s first album in seven years, fans are anticipating relatable verses and high energy from this new release.
On June 15th, Cardi B released her newest single, Outside. This energetic vibe arrived just in time for the summer, denouncing negativity and stress. The single, Outside, has done quite well, reaching #1 on apple music charts. If “Am I the drama?” turns out to produce the same traction as Outside, it is expected that the album will do well.
Apart from that, fans are excited to absorb Cardi B’s broad musical versatility and authenticity of her lyrics, often catered to her own personal experiences. On her last album, Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B released the popular hit, “Thru Your Phone” which highlighted infidelity within a romantic relationship. With all of the recent drama surrounding Cardi B and Offset’s separation, “Am I the drama?” may encompass the same tone, stemming from the pain of the failed marriage.
However, Cardi B’s most recent popular features, such as Tomorrow 2 (alongside Glorilla) and Bongos (alongside Meg Thee Stallion), are sexy and empowering anthems that keep us embracing our femininity. It is clear that, “Am I the drama?”, would thrive with this kind of piece, fitting perfectly into Cardi B’s brand.
Another seamless addition to the, “Am I the drama?”, that associates strongly to Cardi B’s brand would be a song that is attributed to her Afro-Caribbean roots. Cardi B has proudly repped her Dominican culture since her first introduction to fame, as well as her connection and residence in the Bronx. This ode to her heritage has made a positive impact on her fans, allowing them to learn about the real her while embracing their own cultures.
Although we cannot completely predict where Cardi B will take her new album, we can use her repertoire to make some heavy-hitting predictions. Either way, the tension and visuals for the announcement of “Am I the drama?” makes it clear that Cardi B is coming to reintroduce herself in ways we’ve never seen before.
Stay tuned for any updates on the album,” Am I the drama?”, set to be released on all music platforms on September 19th!
