The singer is continuing work on her next album, a follow-up to her Grammy award winning comeback The Emancipation of Mimi.
She has said: "It's hard for me to sit here and talk about it without sounding like I'm bragging if I'm in love with it, but I'm in love with this album.
“I think that having the success with the last record allowed me to have more freedom. ... and just make records that I like.
"It's kind of a really fun record."
