50 Cent’s new album inspired by Marvin Gaye
The ‘Baby By Me’ rapper 50 Cent has revealed his upcoming LP – which has been given the working title ‘Black Magic’ – will feature a “soulful vibe” which has been influenced by the Motown legend Marvin Gaye as well as American soul singer Curtis Mayfield.
He said: “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.
