Hoping to keep her momentum going after the poor performance of debut single ‘Massive Attack’, Nicki Minaj is set to release ‘Your Love’ as its follow-up. Check out the breezy mid-tempo below…
Granted it’s a given that Ms. Minaj boasts much in the way of crossover potential, ‘Your Love’ has kinda thrown me off. Besides the fact she’s singing, the track overall sounds too far removed from the sound we’ve come to expect from her. While I’m sure the Pop audience will lap this up, it may prove a double-edge sword in that such audiences -truth be told-tend to be the least loyal – a fact which won’t bode well for Minaj’s longevity if she continues to move further from her grittier Hip-Hop humblings.

This isn’t the confirmed official single. You never do research properly she’s just shooting a video for it she didn’t even say it was the 2nd single from the album. ¬_¬

its a great song, she should have chosen that song as the first single
massive attack wasnt bad, but sean garrets disturbing verses got on my nerves

i’m embarrassed to say i like this, it’s damn catchy.
but the lyrics make no sense half the time, as with most of nick minaj’s raps.

Um she started off singing background vocals. So maybe this isn’t what you knew her for. Research and reading is key man…

I’m sure the page title says, Nicki Minaj – ‘Your Love’….
and then in the text it says ‘My Love’, fix the hell up TGJ
AND this version sounds a bit different to the version that was on her mixtape, still love it!

love this song, the mixtape version is so much better.
why is she mixed down so low & it sounds like she re-sang the hook & it was perfect the first time….grrrrrr…..
best choice as a single though.

THIS WAS HOTT!
And I’m not even a Nicki Minaj stan! The song was really cute, and a great idea to help her crossover into mainstream, obv less as a streets rapper, but still.
She was also still “rapping” the verses, Nicki Minaj to me has never had a hardcore rash flow, similar to other (female) rappers, she always to me has has a singer flow to me about her.
I love this, it’s catchy as something else. And the sample works well! When the autotune part came on, it reminded me of her mentor, Lil Wayne- and once again I’m not the biggest fan of his either!
