Missy Elliott shared word with her fans that she and Pharrell Williams have been working together in a recording studio. This is another hint leading many to think that a new Missy Elliott album is in the works.
The first of these hints came when Elliott made a surprise appearance during Pharrell Williams’s set at the BET Awards back in June.
The last solo album Missy Elliott released was back in 2005. Called “The Cookbook,” it featured hit tracks including “Lose Control,” “Teary Eyed,” and “We Run This.” Fans have long-awaited a new solo album, and her tweet about working in the studio with The Voice coach has likely raised their hopes.

Rumors are running rampant about Missy Elliott reuniting with Timbaland, too, further fueling that new album fire. The two were creative partners for many years.
When you put all of this together, combined with Missy Elliott appearing as Katy Perry’s special guest at the Super Bowl this year, everything points to a strong presence for Elliott. And as everyone knows, a strong presence goes a long way when selling albums.
Do you think Missy Elliott in the recording studio with Pharrell is an indication of a new album in the works? It seems fans will simply have to wait a while and see.
