Princess Nokia is back…and this time she’s armed with ‘Balenciaga.’

The New Yorker has been determined to deliver high-end visuals for her growing fanbase in 2019 and pushes her own envelope with the video she shot to support the new single.

Why?

To support the record she will release in 2020.

I’ve got a hip-hop and soul record coming out, and it’s incredible. It’s probably my best work I’ve ever made so far, which will only last ‘til the next one after that.

It’s a really well composed, thought-out brilliantly musical project. I go back to hip-hop, acoustic, R’nB, soul, and there’s some Latin music on it. These lyrics are from the pages of my diary. It’s the diary of a young girl going through heartbreak, loss, betrayal, fame, insecurities, doubt, boundaries, self-care, and more than anything, healing. Healing as a young girl at the start of womanhood. Healing and being honest with everything that I’m feeling and experiencing, and bringing it into poetic light and making it very powerful.

I know that it’s going to make a lot of women cry. This is just a little taste of it.

P!nk‘s latest LP, ‘Hurts 2B Human,’ may have opened at #1 on the Billboard 200, but the songs lifted in its support have been hitting sour notes (to say the least) on the Billboard Hot 100.

Coming as her first album since 2003’s ‘Try This’ to see all of its singles miss the top 40 (to date), a change in tide may be coming thanks to assistance from popular Country star Chris Stapleton after the two performed the rousing ‘Human’ duet, ‘Love Me Anyway,’ at this year’s CMAs (November 13).

Having already cracked Country charts, the tune’s made it to #96 on the Hot 100 (as of time of this report).  However, a peruse at iTunes sales tallies over the last few days indicate the CMAs was just the venue to introduce the heartfelt number to the masses as its grip on the chart’s summit hasn’t loosened since Thursday morning (November 14).

Could P!nk be well on her way to the hit ‘Human’ needs?
