Eleven years after her debut album, Fergie returns with Double Dutchess, a deluxe “visual experience” that's well worth the wait. With support from Nicki Minaj, YG, and Fergie’s young son, Axl, it’s an intimate account of her offstage life, from marriage to motherhood to, eventually, divorce, all under fame’s critical lens. The visual counterpart is downright dazzling—a high-art, high-fashion showcase of the star’s many personas—and a vivid reminder that our art, not our obstacles, ultimately defines us. Hear her confident wisdom in the Rick Ross collaboration “Hungry”: “They know that I’m a problem, that’s why everybody's scared/Whatever doesn’t kill you can make you an ill-ionnaire.”
