About the Album: This album did not have an easy road to release. The project was delayed twice and is Eve’s first new album in 11 years. The 12-song cut features appearances from both old collaborators, such as Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz, and new faces like Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta. According to Billboard, “”Make it Out This Town” was chosen as the lead single after Eve became the US female ambassador for Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America… Eve says “Make it Out This Town” is an uplifting song that in turn serves as a direct representation of her personal and professional growth.”” Eve also says, “I just hope that some of my fans, especially the ones that grew up with me, will just take [‘Lip Lock’] how it is and have an open mind, head and heart. Hopefully [fans] will say, ‘Let me listen to where she is now.’ You will recognize me from Ruff Ryders [and] lyrically I’m still that girl.””
Track Spotlight: Saporta’s vocals and newer sound indicate Eve’s “Make It Out This Town” will be popular for summer and with newer listeners. Let’s hope the positive message resonates, also!
