Missy Elliot recently released “WTF (Where They From).” The single marks the official return of an artist the game has sorely missed over the last decade.
The 44-year old Virginia native covers the latest issue of Billboard. In her interview with the publication she explains that she has been working since the release of her 2005 album, "The Cookbook."
Writing and producing for other artists has kept her busy. She also has a vault full of her own unreleased songs.
“If I wanted to do The Missing Files of Missy Elliott, I have probably six albums just sitting there,” she said, before explaining her hiatus. “People hadn’t realized that I haven’t just been an artist, I’ve been a writer and a producer for other artists. When you’re writing that much, your brain is like a computer. You have refresh it.”
The artist born, Melissa Arnette Elliott, says she's now ready to tour and plans on releasing a new album next year.
“I’ve done mad shows, but my last amazing tour was me, Beyoncé and Alicia [Keys, in 2004]. I’d love to do one with B.” And when will the album be out? “I want to say 2016 but I don’t want to give a time. Nowadays you say a time, they’ll stone you.”
