Q1: When is your album coming out, and what is it titled?
I'm working on getting the album out by the end of this year. Im still not sure what I want to call it. I have a few ideas though
Q2: What will be the first single, or is a strong candidate for the first single?
Im still in the process of recording so I cant really say. It would probably be a new song cause the ones on my My Space page are pretty old already.
Q3: Which producers did you work with? Is it true that you worked with Akon?
I havent had the pleasure of working with Akon. I met him once though. Hes a talented guy. Ive worked with Ryan Leslie, The CornaBoyz, Rico Love, Static, and Mario Winans to name a few,
Q4: How do you keep your beautiful voice in shape?
Thank you! I just sing any chance that I get. I make sure to stay warm and protect my throat in cold weather. I also try not to yell or strain my voice. Vocal excercises are also the key.
Q5: How was it like working with Lil' Flip on the smash hit, "Sunshine"?
It was pretty cool. Hes a nice guy and very respectful for a rapper. It was weird traveling with a bunch of guys but they made is easier by being really sweet :)
Q6: Who would you love to duet with?
Probably Robin Thicke. I love that man!
Q7: What is your favorite song at the moment?
Im loving Robin Thicke's whole album
Q8: Where do you find inspiration to write songs?
Id have to say through experiences I have been through and experiences that friends have been through.
Q9: Is is true you're dating Lil' Flip? And, if not, are you in a relationship?
Definitely NOT! Flip and I did a song together and that was IT! Nothing more. Im not currently dating. Music is my number one passion.
Q10: What is your favorite type of music?
I love all types of music. I can appreciate all art forms. I mostly listen to R&B though
Q11: What is, in your opinion, the best song you ever recorded?
Id have to say Im Gone cause its the first song where I actually push my range and reach my potential as a vocalist.
Q12: Alot of artists are shedding their clothes to sell. Do you feel the pressure to do that? (I hope not!)
Not at all. Im such a tomboy and my whole life Ive been more comfortable wearing baggy comfortable clothes. Dont get me wrong, it is fun to dress sexy sometimes and IM sure Ill fit in a Maxim cover here and there but it wont be to sell albums. It'll mostly be like playing dress up! I have faith that my talent alone can sell albums. We'll just have to wait and see if it does :)
