Rapper Eve spoke with Entertainment Weekly about why her album ‘Here I Am’ has been been pushed back to 2008. She had the following to say: EW: What’s going on here? Why so many delays with this album? Are you scrapping the whole thing and starting over?
EVE: No, I’m not completely starting over. I’m definitely gonna keep some of the records that I had because I love a lot of the stuff that I did. So I’m keeping a lot of it. I’m just going back in to kinda make it a well-rounded album. I think what kind of delayed us this time was that I went in and did two records that sound a lot like the Pharrell record — the singing record…. I don’t think the movement was right and I’d rather put out an album and feel 100 percent connected to it than just to put out an album, especially the way music is right now.
EW: So what’s the latest release date for the album?
EVE: Some time next year. I know [Laughs]. It’s like I’ve been trying to push this baby out for a year, okay! Trust me, it is really crazy. It’s the longest labor on earth! But honestly, I feel okay about it. It’ll be some time next year.
Though it’s good to hear her talk candidly about the delay, I can’t help but still wonder if there is even a point releasing the album, when any hype she had surrounding the project disappeared with ‘Tambourine’. This year has really been a mess in regard to all the push backs.
Will you still be checking for Eve come 2008?
its a shame that the progect being put back whats wiv all these delays on albs this year i think that theres only two women in the game that can hold it down in the hip-hop game and thats eve and missy
lET’S BE HONEST IF YOU NOT BEING CONSITANT WITH YOUR MUSIC WHO CARES YOU JUST MAKE YOURSELF IRRELVANT. AND TO BE HONEST IF IT DO COME OUT SERIOUSLYHOW MANY SHE’S GIONG TO REALLY PUSH
Not Really 2008 in regards to female rappers seems to be all about KIM especially with this GUNIT song she got coming out… Sorry EVE
