After performing at the Super Bowl, Queen Latifah is ready to get back into the studio.

According to the Associated Press, the rapper and singer said she is currently working on new music and will use her talk show, "The Queen Latifah Show," which launched last year, to promote her musical works. Latifah last released music in 2009 with "Persona."

"I'm already working on stuff with that," Latifah said about her new music. "I can kind of interweave that with the talk show...It's time to jack another day at the show, give the interviews a break for one day and just perform and rock the crowd. So, I have the best platform to do it."

Latifah, who married 33 couples at last week's Grammy Awards, opened Sunday's Super Bowl with a relaxed version of "America the Beautiful," along alongside the New Jersey Youth Chorus.

Dressed down in a knee-length blue parka and a white turtleneck, Latifah told the AP that performing at the opening of the Super Bowl comes with great responsibility.

"Anybody who takes it as a joke...to me, I don't know if they really get it," she said backstage after her performance. "This is moment where for a change we all can...come together and [have] a sense of pride, and not really worry about anything else that goes on Monday morning."

After Latifah's performance, opera singer Renee Fleming sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." Her performance included the Armed Forces Chorus and video shots of several Denver Broncos players, soldiers in Afghanistan, fireworks and the American flag.

"Have you ever heard it sung any better," announcer Joe Buck asked after Fleming, who wore a Vera Wang-designed black gown with white sash, hit the unique and oddly difficult long final high note.

"I do most of my nervous stuff in advance so when I actually get there I can enjoy it and it was certainly true this time," Fleming said after walking off the field. "I feel so thrilled and honored to be out there. I loved every second."

Fleming added: "I will enjoy this game more than any game in my life."
