Timbaland Says He's Working On Missy Elliott’s New Album Hopefully Be Out This Summer

Timbo confirmed that Missy is hard at work on her long-awaited follow-up to 2005’s The Cookbook, which could be out as soon as this summer. We’ve got a lot of songs we’re gonna start recording soon, and my dream is to have it out around her birthday in July,” he said. “I want it to sound how she looks she looks incredible right now. We both look like we 19 again. I know how Missy works: It’s got to be new and fun or maybe not so much new as kind of underground, and everything is upbeat. He continued: “Some of it has a kind of Latin feel to it, almost a Bad Bunny effect, some of it’s kinda like underground Brazilian funk. People gonna eat it up and it might reach just a different demographic of people. It’s like it’s her doing… not reggaeton but Missy-ton.” Timbaland went on to say that Missy’s influence is “global,” and that he hopes this new project can include some features from Bad Bunny and Latin artist Young Miko.
