Nicki Minaj choreographer says her new album will "shock"

Choreographer Laurieann Gibson has opened up about Nicki Minaj's upcoming album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded', commenting on its "shock" value.

Gibson was the brains behind Minaj's controversial Grammy performance - complete with apparent religious symbolism - which was later criticised by the Catholic League.

And Gibson reckons Minaj's forthcoming album is "brilliant", resplendent in unwavering audacity and nerve. She told MTV:

"Roman Reloaded, I thought, is a brilliant record. The way she's throwing it so bold, impactful, not afraid. When people get into the record, they'll actually understand that that was the energy [of] 'I'm done with you, be done. I'm gonna believe in myself.' The record is amazing. And in choreographing it and in the beats and the camera angles, everything came from the power of the record. Those levels usually lend itself to a pop performance. And now it's being done by an MC and being done well. The execution of it is what has people in shock, I think."
