Missy Elliott is eyeing an August release for her next studio album, "Block Party," on which she's presently putting the finishing touches. The oft-delayed set, which was originally slated for May, features production from Souldiggaz, Danjahandz, Pharrell, T-Pain, Pointguard and Timbaland.
Tracks on the album include the Jazmine Sullivan-assisted "Like When You Play the Music"; the drum-heavy "Hip-Hop Don't Die"; the sensual "Milk & Cookies," on which Elliot lightheartedly harmonizes about her capabilities in the bedroom; and "Best Best," the set's first single. A video for "Best Best" is in the works.
The album title 'Block Party' was chosen by Missy "because there are a lot of dance joints on there. It's one of those albums you can play out in the streets."
"This album is probably more musical and melodic than my previous ones," she continues. "A lot of my albums are really hip-hop-driven, with tinges of other music genres. But this album is hip-hop, with a sort of U.K. hip-hop sound to it."
The tracks 'Ching-A-Ling' and 'Shake Your Pom Pom' which were previously only available on the 'Step Up 2: The Streets soundtrack' will also be present on 'Block Party'. The track listing is still being finalized.
