Nicki Minaj revealed yesterday that Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, her second proper album, will hit stores on February 14th. Though the title sounds more like a reissue, Minaj's Cash Money collaborator Birdman has verified the disc as an entirely new record.

Though the Valentine's Day release date suits Minaj's pink theme, the promise of a disc focused on her flamboyant and violent alter-ego Roman seems to be at odds with the sentiment of the holiday. Who knows – maybe Roman will find love on this new album.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
