NEWS/REVIEWS
Now due in Spring 2008 (according to her official website), The Countdown will be produced by Timbaland and Danja, with a cameo from T-Pain. Earlier in 2007, MTV reported her working with Rich Harrison as well as DJ Toomp.
Timbaland's involvement was originally questioned, but now he is definitely producing the album. In August, Timbaland told MTV he was uneasy about working with Missy again, as he felt she is "too over the top" for the current hip hop scene. In response, fans started a MySpace group (Reunite Timbaland and Missy) demanding they wanted to see the two in the studio again and gained a staggering 1,000 members in its first 24 hours. Rolling Stone reported on the MySpace group and also had Elliott explain Timbaland meant it in a good way "like, I'm so far-left, people might not be ready for me."
On September 18, 2007, it was confirmed by Missy's website that the album will be released in the spring of 2008, and Elliott will be in a Doritos TV spot to help promote the album. Missy will appear in a TV spot that debuts September 17. Elliott is seen working on a new track and then pausing to snack on Doritos Collisions chips. Inspired by the two different-tasting chips in the same bag, Elliott has an epiphany: her song needs two different musical styles. So, she immediately injects her hip-hop track with a little bit of country twang.
