Will she continue with chart-topping hits, the hallmark of her debut album, Invasion of Privacy? Or will she venture into other genre mixes and styles? It’s certainly within her capabilities and creative latitude, and expectations are high.
Perhaps even more telling, though, have been Cardi’s previous collaborations, which always seemed to give away which artists she was going to use in her new work.
