During a surprising pivot in the interview, Lopez was quizzed about her latest album, the February-released ‘This Is Me…Now.‘ and its accompanying world tour – a once-highly anticipated international venture that was abruptly canceled.

It’s undeniable that Amerie fans have been impatiently awaiting new music from the R&B diva since she unexpectedly dropped the duo of EPs ‘4AM Mulholland’ and ‘After 4AM’ in October 2018.

That is, until last month when she took to Questlove‘s iHeartRadio podcast to not only confirm she’s putting the finishing touches on a new project but also suggesting it may hit shelves in early 2025.

Sending her dedicated followers into a frenzy at the time, she’s now sent their excitement into overdrive with what’s believed to be the first taste from the forthcoming set.

Brandy and Monica may be celebrated by music lovers as two of modern R&B’s most revered female vocalists, but that reverence hasn’t always been extended from the industry itself: namely the awards show circuit.

To date, the divas have only won one GRAMMY – a shared victory at the 1999 ceremony for 1998’s ‘Boy is Mine.’
