“We’re gonna raise a toast. Cheers. OK?” the Atlanta ’Wife said in the November 20 clip. “Big news coming. If you don’t know, now you know. My album is dropping [December 12]. It’s been a year in the making, OK? So when y’all see the finished product, I don’t want y’all to think, oh we just woke up and it just happened. No, it’s been a lot of blood, a lot of sweat, a lot of tears. So we’re celebrating.”
Drew suggested the album was finally completed, as she and Dennis had just wrapped up a listening session. Although she kept details to a minimum, the Chicago native was clearly pleased with the final product and expressed confidence in its success.
“This album is going to win Grammys,” she said with a laugh. “Cheers to the Grammys. I’ve been working on music my whole life. I’ve been nervous to put the album out… this is my first album. Mark your calendars. And get ready for it, I’m going to be dropping visuals, I’m going to be dropping records.”
