Pillow Talk is a Winter’s Diary / EMPIRE project - What are your future plans and / or goals for the label? And who all else, besides yourself of course, currently makes up its artist roster? I’m being open and honest, while giving you space to vibe and feel good. I feel like this album is a sexier approach to that same feeling. In the past, my albums have always been emotional.
How then does Pillow Talk either differ and / or compare to previous Tink efforts? It shows another side of Tink most people don’t get to see.

Hitmaka asked me to make a list of songs that were special to me, or songs I grew up listening to. It was one of the first records I wrote coming off of tour. “Cater” came into fruition last December. We’ve got great direction, and a great executive producer so it’s easy to show up to work.Let’s hop right into this lead single / video, “Cater,” featuring 2 Chainz - Tell me about this particular track how did it actually come to fruition? “It’s been work man, but the energy is great,” Cooper said. In fact, it has no true effect on his hustle, which makes his job a lot easier to do no matter what occurs on the show.

I’ve been in a couple of situations like that where people didn’t commit and had to spend money so it was bad. “I just don’t like betting on other people, especially when you got money on the line. “In the past, every time I tried to feature a rapper or something, it just didn’t work out,” Cooper said. Yet, unlike other R&B singers who have integrated rap collaborations in their music, Cooper is somewhat scorned by the past and isn’t focused on inviting trending names on his solo album. In the past, PLeasure P has jumped on records with Yung Joc, Plies, and Tyga. While he throws down on Pretty Ricky’s comeback album, Pleasure P is diligently working on his upcoming solo effort, which will also be executively produced by Love. When they first sparked excitement for their reunion in 2015, Pretty Ricky dropped their first single with Cooper called “Puddles,” which is an ode to their classic sound fused with a touch of old school R&B melodies.

Unlike Cooper, the Grammy Award-winning producer does not have a major, reoccurring role in Love & Hip-Hop: Miami. Rico Love is not only working on Pretty Ricky’s fourth studio album, but he’s also curating the vibes for Cooper’s sophomore LP. I think we’re going to give people a bit of old but a lot more new, you know what I mean?” “You’re going to see us rekindling our chemistry as a group, and we’re putting this album together with Rico Love as the executive producer.
It’s time to start recognizing,” Cooper said. “I feel like they’ve never given us our props, but they got to give it to us now.
