Missy Elliott

Single; Teary eyed – September 26th
Album: The Cookbook - Out Now

'Teary Eyed' is the brilliant new single by Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott, set for release on September 26th through Atlantic Records. It is the second track to be lifted from her most recent album THE COOKBOOK and follows the Top 10 hit, 'Lose Control' with Ciara and Fatman Scoop.

The brand new track, 'Teary Eyed' is a supahit on the Galaxy network, A-Listed at Radio 1Xtra and B-Listed at Kiss FM, Radio 1 and Choice FM. It finds Missy accompanied by the smooth vocal tones of songbird and Goldmind/Atlantic Records artist, Tweet going back to her roots and singing. Written by Missy, production duties are taken care of by Warren Campbell who has also worked with Brandy and Luther Vandross.

Missy Elliott is undisputedly one of the most prominent female artists in contemporary music. For the five-time Grammy Award winner, THE COOKBOOK, is simply another notch in the belt of a woman who has defied all traditional notions in the entertainment industry. When asked to describe her new release in three words or less the music maven candidly spits "no artificial flavour."

THE COOKBOOK stormed the US Billboard charts at #2 when it was released earlier this month, selling more than 175,000 copies in that first week alone. This feast of tantalising songs is an all-natural collection of musical recipes guaranteed to feed the mind and energize the body. Boasting a superb guest list including Pharrell Williams, Fantasia, Mary J Blige, Slick Rick, Jamaican dancehall DJ Vybz Kartel and the UK's very own M.I.A., production comes courtesy of Missy Elliott and reads like a who is who for the hottest, dopest beat makers around – with Timbaland, The Neptunes and Craig Brockman included.

Not content with selling well over 10 million albums worldwide, she continues to be the inspiration to musicians everywhere. Missy Elliott recently made the Billboard Power Players List for Women In Music as an Artist With Leverage Brand Power alongside Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Queen Latifah. Her new clothing line is the 'RESPECT ME' range - a result of her collaboration with Adidas. She is the definition of 'cool'. However, her amazing story begins and ends with the music. And she would not have it any other way.
