I'm expecting a lot too, especially granted that she took her time to make this record. Big Hopes (Bigger The Better')

IKR! I didn't buy 'Mi Plan' either and the unfortunate event that was 'The Night Is Young' ( ) wasn't enough to close the gap between 'Loose' and 'The Spirit Indestructible'. I'm really excited to hear what she's come up with. The industry has definitely changed A LOT compared to 2006...

I know i was always a bit miffed by Mi Plan why not release a coinciding English album at the same time and then a Best Of way to early in her career all got a little confused and messy but i did like Stars, and NIY wasn't to awful but neither was it great preferred her Duet with Tiesto should have had a UK release.

And i heard a rumor a while back that the album would be her first all English album as she was releasing a Spanish album alongside it not sure if it is true though

And it is but it makes it all the more interesting as Nelly is such a Chameleon so will be definitely interesting.

Yes, I remember her collaboration with Tiesto. I thought it had been released in the UK, though...

I definitely wouldn't like her to release a Spanish album right now because I want her to focus on the English album. It's been delayed long enough (there was a rumoured release date, sometime in late 2010, under the title 'Lifestyle'), so she has to give it her all imo

Im not sure if it was or not it could have just a European release.

And I think it could work she is good at juggling different singles in different markets so it depends what she focuses on but i mean 6 years since Loose it is definitely about time and yeah Lifestyle has been mentioned and rumored for ages but finally confirmation of TSI

More news apparently T.S.I will contain 14 tracks standard and 18 Deluxe so her longest album i think not including bonus tracks regional add ons etc so a solid album after a solid wait will probs get the deluxe the more the merrier

Will do JP.

And well she is working with darkchild, salam rami, rodney jerkins and is going back to her earlier work but these are urban producers so expecting a big mesh and lets face it Nelly is quite versatile so could be anything which is why i do love her so very much

The preview for her new single sounds excellent. I really think she's going to do well with this era.

That will be a great platform to showcase it on...maybe on The Voice too for an acoustic style performance too.

When is the album out...i know the summer but when...June/July??

i was thinking more the voice to with the level of exposure and ratings its getting maybe even both after all 6 years she really has to remind the public no matter how much success she has had but look at the BEP's years away and bam so fingers crossed.

And June 19th so exactly 6 years to the month of the release of Loose.

Christ!

That is a long time! Yeah i mean she will have the back of the success of ehr singles and her albums in the UK but she needs to rebrand herself out there...take the spotlight a bit more and outshine em all

She can do it definitely!

I know in the interim she has had a best of and Mi Plan but they generally bypassed most her last big singles were

Give it To me (2007)
Broken Strings (2008)
Jump (2008/09)
Morning After Dark (2010)

so yes she better get out there and sell it im talking Big singles BGT, TV, alan carr, loose women, this morning, JRS, TGNS she gotta do it all she really has to push it
