Missy back.

Music icon Missy Elliott spoke with Yahoo’s “The Yo Show” to explain her absence from the music industry. She also confirmed a collaboration with longtime friend Faith Evans on her upcoming album, Incomparable.

Missy, whose last album The Cookbook gave us the hit “Lose Control” featuring soon-to-be mom Ciara back in 2005, says of her hiatus:

“When I create something, it’s gotta be special and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy. I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100 percent and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.”

The perfectionist spoke on today’s music and why she feels her next project has to be flawless.

“Just being inspired by things is what I’m grabbing for because music is different now. Not to say that it’s bad, it’s just different now, so I’m just trying to make sure that what I give is 100 percent because I know that expectations is high from my fans and it’s high of myself.”
