What can we expect from the new album?
It's a lot more mature from the first album. It's R&B of course, but it's a bit more appealing. The first album was really urban. [With] this album, I didn't go in with "OK, I'm going to make an urban album." I went in and said, "I'm going to make good music." I have some wonderful songs on there -- [an] up-tempo, great mix and a couple of ballads as well.

What's your fave song on the album?
"Emergency," which is talking about this girl being in a relationship that she knows is bad for her but she just can't help herself, so "Can somebody please call emergency?"

Is that based on personal experience?
Of course. We always want what's not good for us. We go through that phase at least, all of us.
