Missy Elliott to release new "Iconology" EP tonight
It’s been 14 years since the release of Missy Elliott’s The Cookbook, and fans have been waiting for something new. Sure, she’s been featured in songs with Jack U, Fall Out Boy, and Busta Rhymes, but that’s not enough for some. Fortunately, the Grammy winner will be unveiling some new tunes at midnight.
The artist made the surprise announcement on social media today. Titled Iconology, the release is a throwback to “when music just felt good and made us want to dance”.
Next Monday, Elliott will be receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards, which is being held inside Newark’s Prudential Center.
Since 2009, MP3s and NPCs owner Terrance Pryor has written about music, conventions, cosplay, and video games for publications such as AXS, Examiner, Fake Walls, and Ranker. Based out of Los Angeles, the former rock concert promoter/radio host can be seen talking about rock music on AXS TV’s Music’s Greatest Mysteries and discussing music and whatever else on their Black Man Talks Rock channel on YouTube.
