She credits Dre for his song writing abilities on the album.

Ludacris wrote a record for me.”

“I did all my parts and then I went on vacation,” she explained. “So they put people on it while I was gone and they’ve been waiting to talk to me to surprise me. I’m actually supposed to talk to them and find out who the hell is on that damn album. I’m sure there is no one on there I don’t like.”

The untitled album is currently scheduled to drop winter 2008 on Motown Records.
