Nicki Minaj Revives The Big Pink’s Dominos


CHART SPOTLIGHT. We absolutely love the new Nicki Minaj single “Girls Fall Like Dominoes.” Based on The Big Pink’s “Dominos,” the track is the sixth single off the rapper’s debut set Pink Friday. Another hit single is in the pipeline – “Where Dem Girls At,” a brand new David Guetta track which features Minaj and Flo Rida.

Hugely successful, the Pink Friday album features guests such as Eminem, Drake, will.iam and Kanye West. Last December WelceMusic reported on “Your Love,” one of the singles which sampled an Annie Lennox hit.

The music blog Digital Spy gave it a 4/5 rating saying that “less surprising is Queen Barbz’s use of hyperbole, sprinkled here over a boombastic beat and juttering synths courtesy of J-J-J-J.R Rotem, who confidently refreshes The Big Pink’s 2009 hit ‘Dominos’ to give it a youthful glean that would make Joan Rivers’s plastic surgeon proud.”

Quick guide to Nicki Minaj singles from Pink Friday, via Wikipedia:

  1. Your Love
  2. Right Thru Me
  3. Roman’s Revenge
  4. Did It On ‘Em
  5. Moment 4 Life
  6. Super Brass

Her most popular hit to date according to Last.fm is “Massive Attack,” her first single ever which was not included on her album.

Annie Lennox vs. Ash = Shining Light


CHART REFLECTION. The Swedish fashion retailer Lindex is appreciated for its use of music in commercials. Recently, Marina & The Diamonds got heavy TV support in one of Lindex commercials. This time, Annie Lennox is the soundtrack to the retailer’s latest “Fashion Report” with “Shining Light.” Released in March 2009, the track peaked at No.39 in the UK and No.97 in Japan.

Nicki Minaj+Annie Lennox=True


WelcheMusic recently reported about the Haddaway sample in Eminem’s “No Love.” We absolutely love Nicki Minaj’s sample of Annie Lennox’s 1995 hit “No More I Love You’s” in “Your Love.” The track is included on the Minaj album Pink Friday, which currently sits at No.2 on the Billboard 200.
