I suppose I was expecting a massive production, a bit of choreography, some epic costumes and full-scale production with a mix of uptempo songs and ballads, and that would have been entertaining and fun and very Nicki. However, she took a different and equally interesting route and decided to put together three music videos that all told one story.
She used her three big ballads The Crying Game, I Lied and Grand Piano as the soundtrack to the story which seems to be heavily based on her own tumultuous and recently deceased relationship with Safaree.
Nicki proves she has acting chops throughout this emotional video, alongside the likes of Boris Kodjoe, and keeps the extravagance to a minimum which makes a welcome change.
It may not be to everyone's tastes and I am sure some will be disappointed in the lack of clarity and conclusion but you can't deny that this does somewhat sell the album.
