Eve - Lip Lock

[Frederic]

Eve is making changes in the new decade. The femcee has left her longtime label and promises a new album in 2010.

The rapper-turned-actress revealed on Twitter Friday (Jan. 15) that she has parted ways with Interscope Geffen A&M Records where she released her first three albums. “Let me tell u what happened with music so ya’ll don’t think I quit,” she told her followers. “Left Interscope, free agent now. Went back in re-doing music. Trust me.”

As for her oft-delayed fourth studio album, the first since 2002’s Eve-Olution, she says it’s coming this year. “Not letting this year pass wit out an ALBUM! Can’t take the non-sense MUSIK.”

A 2007 project Here I Am was scrapped, although it produced the Swizz Beatz-helmed “Tambourine” and “Give It to You” featuring Sean Paul.

While on hiatus, Eve shared that she was going in a new direction with her sound, as evidenced by the leaked Salaam Remi production “Me N My (Up in the Club).” “I’m actually experimenting with this movement called dubstep in the U.K., this underground sound,” she told Jimmy Fallon in October.

So that means Tambourine and Give It To Me will never be featured on a studio album (unless as bonus tracks).

I'm confused, should this be combined with the 10 page topic for "Flirt" ?

From what I understand the Flirt prject has been totally canned, so shouldn't that topic be locked?

'Here I Am' sounded like it was gonna be her best ever judging by Tambourine & Give It To You. Really disappointed that it never surfaced.

Well, wether 'Flirt' is canned or not, it was still the topic about Eve's fourth album IMO.

I'm kind of hoping it still will one day. I have a feeling the material on this will be nowhere near the standard of Tambourine & Give It To You.

But in that topic we discussed songs like Tambourine, All Night Long, Give It To Me etc. which were part of the 'Flirt' project, which has been canned.

According to hiphopdx.com:

Eve Leaves Interscope Records, Plans "Lip Lock" Album In 2010

After enjoying critical acclaim, commercial success as a solo artist and as an actress, Eve has not released a full-length album since 2002's Eve-Olution. The self-proclaimed "pitbull in a skirt" took to the social-networking site Twitter to announce that she has left Interscope Records and has plans for an album in 2010.

"Let me tell u [sic] what happened with music so y'all don't think I quit," Eve wrote. "Left Interscope, free agent now. Went back in re-doing music. Trust me."

In a 2009 interview with the New York Post, Eve stated similar reasons for the delay of her fourth album. The album was originally titled Here I Am then renamed Flirt.

"Unfortunately I am caught up in a whole music label situation," Eve told the Post. "The album is finally going to come out this spring or summer. But with all the time that passed, we went back in and reworked the whole thing. I am truly, truly sitting on some amazing music. Nobody's been waiting longer than me to get this monkey off my back!"

After moving from from Interscope to Geffen and still not releasing an album, Eve expanded her acting portfolio with her own television show as well as various movie roles. Eve added that her upcoming album is tentatively titled Lip Lock, and the previously released singles "Tambourine" and "Give It To You" will be on the album as bonus tracks.

[JoshuaBuzz]

I want her to get Busta Rhymes, Eve, Kelly Rowland, Missy Elliot and Gwen Stefani on board.

Tambourine, Give It To Me and All Night Long should be included as proper album tracks, regardless of whether Flirt got cancelled or not

[Benjamin BanZai]

She should work with Gwen again and Rihanna.

[alxx]

She looked amazing in Glee!

[RaFanatic]

Can we expect another Gwen-Eve duet?
