The song Nicki debuted on the EMAs tonight "Bed of Lies", which features Skylar Grey is the next worldwide single according to Twitter.

If you missed it, the full performance is available on http://perezhilton.com/2014-11-09-emas-mtv-europe-music-awards-2014-nicki-minaj-performance/?from=topstory_perezhilton.

The song was supposedly produced by Alex da Kid (Massive Attack, Airplanes, Love The Way You Lie), but this is unconfirmed. It sounds like a cross between "Fly" and "I Need a Doctor" imo. Either way, this is soooo commercial and has the potential to be her biggest hit yet.

Low quality and will probably get deleted soon.

Very high quality of the whole performance: http://media.mtvnservices.com/embed/mgid:uma:video:mtv.co.uk:1098563

Well this sounds very promising from that clip! Sounds like a killer chorus too.

Just got back from the awards show and she was incredible. Really loved this, her verse is so good.

You were there live! So jealous right now!

I was not ready for this emotional slayage!





Sounds like a Pink Friday song tbh...

I dunno, it all feels a bit...lifeless?

skylar's intro is too long as well and feels oddly detached from nicki's parts. essentially two different equally boring songs in one.

i love this, sounds like something picked straight out of Pink Friday as you said April, which is an excellent thing because it's by far her best album. Really hope we get some more stuff like the songs on Pink Friday. Is this is a single?

Posted by: Jonjo 16th November 2014, 11:12 AM

Oh wow. Wasn't expecting Nicki to do a song with Skylar so this is a very nice surprise and the song is beautiful.

Here's the explicit and slightly longer version



Really love this

Sounds incredible in HQ + explicit. I think this is the best single of The Pinkprint era. Apparently this was supposed to be the first single, but they chose "Pills N Potions" instead.

It's been added to US iTunes, so hopefully we'll get it on UK iTunes ASAP.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 16th November 2014, 12:30 PM

Probably the weakest of the era for me so far, but she just keeps on delivering. I do love vulnerable Nicki.

Very Pink Friday as has been said, and that can only be a good thing. I am actually so excited for this album.

Posted by: mr_aly 17th November 2014, 05:31 PM

It's actually quite good!

Another possible breakthrough opportunity for Skylar, every time I want it to work out for her it never ends up happening so I won't hold my breath that this'll do it for her.

Posted by: April 18th November 2014, 11:14 PM

Available on UK iTunes.......for pre-order!

SIS YOU SERIOUS? Released 15th December FFS.

Posted by: mr_aly 19th November 2014, 02:16 AM

That's probably for the best, otherwise it'll just do nothing like 'Pills N Potions' and 'Only' have...

Posted by: Acoustic 19th November 2014, 05:31 PM

Nicki better promote this. Too good to flop.

Posted by: Jack 19th November 2014, 05:39 PM

I am glad it is getting the pre order treatment. Would be nice if radio got on board this time round.

Posted by: April 19th November 2014, 05:41 PM

Apparently Capital FM have already playlisted it. Hopefully Radio 1 finally get back on board too.

Posted by: SLlewellyn 19th November 2014, 10:35 PM

Really nice effort from Nicki Minaj and Skylar Grey, I'm glad this is preceding the album's release - as opposed to "Anaconda". Still shocked at how this album release has been handled though - December 15th is far too late to have left this, and no pre-orders etc. Is it too much to hope that it'll be a low-peaker but long-running/high-selling album?

Posted by: alexsmitty123 25th November 2014, 06:39 PM

two of the best in the industry

Posted by: Holly-ver 25th November 2014, 10:50 PM

I've heard it a few times on Capital but they always seem to think it's Nicki Minaj and Sia.

Posted by: Euphorique 26th November 2014, 05:33 PM

Just goes to show you how irrelevant Skylar is. Maybe she should change her name again

Posted by: April 26th November 2014, 08:06 PM

Her AMA performance has been uploaded on her VEVO account.



Love it!

Posted by: Noahspike 26th November 2014, 08:16 PM

Sounds nice but dated. Also, 'lie' rhyming with 'lies' bothers me.

Meh.

Posted by: Davidson 28th November 2014, 08:53 PM

Was I the only one who thought she was saying "I'm an ass connoisseur" at the end of her verses rather than "I'mma ask on the song"
