50 Cent has turned all soulful for his new album.
The G-Unit star has revealed the inspiration for his latest record ‘Black Magic’ came from late singers Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield.
The rapper, who recently lost a massive 25kgs for his upcoming role in new movie ‘Things Fall Apart, told Rap-up.com,
"It's still got a soulful vibe to it and that's why I called it Black Magic. I had some Marvin Gaye-inspired stuff, some things that content-wise would feel like something Curtis Mayfield would do from my perspective, and just the choices of how the cadences on the records were like performance music that they did in the past.
"It feels brand new. If I didn't tell you it was inspired by that, you wouldn't know that I got it from that. I didn't say the same things that they said; it's just my perspective on what they offered.”
The ‘In Da Club’ hitmaker also said he decided to change his sound following his recent European tour.
He added, "Since I came back off the European tour, I got bombarded with new production, so many good ideas in there that I started writing to another concept."
