It’s finally time for Fergie fans. Again.

The singer’s comeback campaign has defined start-stop/rinse-and-repeat. Indeed, 2014 saw her blaze back on the scene with the well-received ‘LA Love (La La)’ and then she disappeared.

Early this Summer, the Black Eyed Peas singer returned with ‘M.I.L.F Money,’ which despite sounding like construction noise managed to become a viral hit thanks to its colorful and cameo-heavy video.

Folk have heard little from her since.

That is until now.

Taking to social media today, Fergie-Ferg revealed a teaser video.
