Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Two Ten Footwear FoundationFans have been waiting more than 10 years for the follow-up to Fergie‘s super-successful solo debut, The Dutchess. Well, it turns out that Fergie’s just as anxious as they are to see it released.
“I’m hoping for ASAP, as soon as possible,” Fergie told Music Choice about when she plans to put the album out. “I’m going for January, that’s what I’m trying [for], but first of the year, first coupla months, I’m hoping for January.”
“Everyone’s gotta do the holiday thing and all of that,” she adds. “But I’m ready: ready to let this thing into the universe!”
Fergie’s been working on the album, which is reportedly called Double Dutchess, for quite some time and has already released two new tracks from it this year: “M.I.L.F. Money” and “Life Goes On.” She revealed to Music Choice that she’s so far into the project that she’s already shot a number of videos for it.
“I have filmed a few things that are special,” she says “I got to shoot videos in a lot of different places. I have a video that I shot in Paris for a song called ‘Just Like You,’ about an unhealthy relationship. And I got to shoot in London, a video called ‘Nuttin’.'”
She describes that song as “very super throwback hip-hop to the ’90s.”
Before Double Dutchess comes out, though, you’ll see Fergie hosting — and performing on — the Hollywood Party segments of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, airing on ABC December 31.
The Dutchess came out in 2006 and produced three #1 hits, and five top-five singles in all.
