It’s not that we have anything against proper rest. It is healing, it keeps us healthy and it’s an essential tool for dealing with the corroding world around us. However, when Melissa “Missy” Elliott tells us that it’s time to party, then that qualifies as the final word. And according to the hip hop legend herself, the time is now… or midnight tonight, rather. After years of hinting and teasing around social media, Elliott has just confirmed via Twitter that she will be releasing a surprise collection of new music called Iconology. Using the tag #ThrowItBack, the artist and producer hints that the new songs may usher in some nostalgia, citing “a time when music just felt good and made us want to dance.” Well damn, Missy, if you insist!
