Megan is experiencing a career peak this year. Her tour is consistently selling out arenas, she is releasing one hit after another with her own resources, and even caught the attention of the queen of rap, who dissed her on record. The leading figure of the hot girl movement is set to release a highly-anticipated new album named “Megan” this upcoming Friday.

In her interview with L’OFFICIAL, this is what she had to say

L’O: Is your upcoming album going to be even more ferocious than “Hiss”?

MTS: I don’t even know how to describe it, honestly. “Hiss” was me just getting the things that I had to say off my chest. I’m really not focused on the negativity on my album. I have a lot of different songs on the album because my emotion doesn’t stop at anger. My emotion doesn’t stop at sadness because I did grow and I did start feeling more things. I started feeling really happy. So you have songs on the album that are about the positive times that I’m starting to have. You get a little bit of everything. You get all the emotions in there.

L’O:Is there still a snake motif throughout the album? 

MTS: We don’t just stop at the snake. This is just what everybody sees right now. Renewal, rebirth: that is the whole concept of this [album]. We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in western culture. Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality. I’m not really a person that’s like, Oh my God, sunshine and just super bubbly, happy. I like darker things. I like things that are a little scary. I like things that are unique. I picked the snake because… it’s kind of like an antihero.

L’O: Do you see yourself playing with different genres with this album? Obviously we saw Beyoncé do country. Is there a different sound that you’re trying to bring in this rebirth of Meg?

MTS: This is music I would like if I wasn’t Megan Thee Stallion. I don’t want to say I’m tapping into other genres. I’m just tapping into other sounds. But it’s still very much Megan Thee Stallion. It won’t feel like I went so left. It’ll feel true to me. You’ll almost be like, I wouldn’t have thought she would’ve rapped over that, but this sounds great.
