ON COMING UP WITH THE ALBUM TITLE: Oh wow, it’s so crazy! When I think about all the work that I’ve put into my career, just all the things I have done and all the things I am actually still doing, I just think that it’s been an amazing journey and when I think about it, it’s like ‘wow!’ To be relevant in this industry where there are less and less females, I think that’s a blessing.
ON VIBING IN THE STUDIO: Just being in the studio, I go off my emotions and my feelings and how I’m feeling that day. If I’m feeling great, I’m going in the studio feeling great. If I’m feeling a little emotional, emotional records might come out me. If I’m a little sad… It’s all about emotion for me.
ON BEING IN CONTROL OF RECORDING AMAZIN’: I’ve worked with some engineers that I wasn’t too happy with the work. It wasn’t a bad recording session, but it was just like I wanted to do so much more but it was like they had this view.
ON THE BEST THING ABOUT RECORDING THIS ALBUM: I would say with this record I worked, like on one of my first singles, which is “A Million Dollar Girl” record, I worked with Mario Winans actually in the studio and it was such a great, great experience to actually be there with him in the studio to see how he works as opposed to having me submit the record and he sends it back to me. It was that whole thing of control and the chemistry of that. That was one of the greatest things about this album and just being able to control the type of direction I want to go with with this project, just to show more growth and the new evolution of Trina.
» Wow, these photos had the blogs going crazy this past weekend. Soulja Boy was recently in Jamaica for a concert and took Trina for a ride on her jet ski. The two have been talking on twitter for sometime now and Soulja Boy posted these pictures on his twitter. These are definitely causing some controversy. Check them out:
For me, I would love to work with Trina
» A day after filming the 2009 BET Hip-Hop Awards, Trina’s publicist got together a press junket for Trina and Slip-N-Slide newcomes Jagged Edge at the Hotel Room Service in Atlanta, GA. I’ve added some exclusive never before seen photos of our girl looking splendid . This is definitely a look to keep!
View more photos Later that night Trina and the crew, including Pretty Money, headed to Club Ritz for the grand finale in Atlanta. It was their after party of the awards weekend. They all looked beautiful! Check out the photos:
Southern rapper Trick Daddy has opened up about wanting to get back together with Trina for some collaborations and explained their impact as a duo. He said in a recent interview:
“I need you to call Trina and you need to talk to her,” he said in an interview. “I personally think that Trina is a better Trina with Trick. Those sexy-jazzy chicks, they need that thug, they need that thug nigga for guidance and protection. That’s what Trina and Trick bring you. They bring you the real Bonnie and Clyde with no strings attached and nothing sugar coated. I was actually talking to brother the other day about even just doing some songs, giving it to her and say okay this is what we’re gonna do, you seekingarrangement dating just do your part. That makes me prejudice if you think about it in a sense, another thing I’m prejudice about is my city. I’m gonna rep my city to the fullest! Trina is a part of that and under no circumstances would I ever want to see that do bad, or fail, under no pretense have I ever thought like that. I’ve never been considered as a chief, but I think I could hold down the tribe and until then I’ll be a hell of a good Indian. So I’ve never been trying to take over Miami.”
I admit that I’m a prejudice person, I love kids, I hate beggars, I can’t stand backstabbers, and I despise a snitch
: So, what are your favorite tracks on the new album Amazin?Trina: [The title track] Amazin’, and there’s a track with Keri Hilson. It’s an upbeat, uptempo record.There’s a song called Go So Hard. It’s… totally different from the kind of records I do. At first, I didn’t know if I wanted to do this record. It’s wasn’t the kind of record I was used to doing…It’s laid back. I’m used to doing upbeat songs, but I took myself outside of my element. It’s the record that challenged me the most. Make Way
ON HER NEW ALBUM: It’s called Amazin’ and the first street record off the album is called “That’s My Attitude.” And the album is great. I’m really excited about it. I figured it’s going to be my best album. I put a lot of work into it and had a lot of control to do the things I wanted and needed to do. So I’m really proud of it.
