Six years after her hit debut album, Invasion of Privacy, Cardi B is preparing for her third album. Recently, she engaged fans through a poll on her Instagram Story on June 23 to see if there was interest in a Spanish-language project. While singing along to her Peso Pluma collaboration, “PUT EM IN THE FRIDGE”, she revealed that 79% of nearly 480,000 voters were in favor of the idea.
In response to the support, Cardi B confirmed, “OK, AFTER MY ENGLISH ALBUM,” on June 24. This follows her successful Spanish-language features like Ozuna’s “La Modelo” and Shakira’s “Puntería.” Despite this, fans are eager for her sophomore album to be released soon.
Fan reactions to the announcement varied. One fan wrote, “Girl, drop any album at this point!” while another commented, “She raps way better in Spanish. Her flow is much tighter.” However, some were skeptical, with one person saying, “Just stop telling us and execute your plan already if you really wanna prove naysayers wrong instead of saying the same thing every year but not delivering.”
There is still uncertainty about the release date of her next album. In May, Cardi B mentioned on Twitter her intention to relax for the rest of the year, focusing on committed features and personal time. However, her representatives hinted in a Rolling Stone cover story that her second album, referred to as C2, will be released in 2024.
On June 16, Cardi B teased fans by asking if they were ready for an album announcement, indicating it was “coming real soon.” In the meantime, fans have new tracks like “Enough (Miami)” and “Like What (Freestyle),” both released in March, to enjoy.
Cardi B has also been active with collaborations in 2024, featuring on Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla’s “Wanna Be – Remix” and Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me” remix. These collaborations have kept her presence strong in the music industry.
The idea of a Spanish-language album adds another layer of excitement to Cardi B’s work. Her previous successes in this area suggest a full project could further expand her reach. However, the primary focus remains on the anticipated release of her second album.
From Invasion of Privacy to her upcoming projects, Cardi B has shown significant growth as an artist. Her willingness to explore different musical styles and engage with her fans shows her dedication. As the music industry watches, Cardi B’s next steps are highly anticipated, whether in English, Spanish, or any other language she chooses.
