“I’m just having fun in the studio, because if you think, ‘My first album was like this, I gotta have the same recipe,’ it’s just not gonna work.”

Cardi B is at work on her sophomore album, a followup to last year’s Invasion of Privacy. In a new interview with Billboard, she explained how she’s determining the sound she’s looking for. “There's certain music that I want to do, but I feel like, is people interested in that? I feel like things have changed. It's more like a twerk sound going on right now. It's just like, ‘Should I just do my music around that?’ But I cannot just go with what's hot. I still gotta go with what I want to do,” she told Billboard. “I was going with what I want people to hear, and what I like, so that's what I'm doing now...I'm just having fun in the studio, because if you think, ‘My first album was like this, I gotta have the same recipe,’ it's just not gonna work.”
