Only 2 songs over 3 minutes is a pretty severe change considering Nelly's previous works (her songs in the 5 minute range for instance are all flawless), but Corazón is also under 3 minutes and sounds perfect so I have faith

This is one of her best interviews to date. Nelly gives details about 7 close to the end.

Why on earth did they set September 20th as the release date? It feels like this album is taking AGES to come out. At least "Love Bites" hit #1 on Dance Radio.

Nelly mentioned that the album has taken three to four years to develop in the different interviews she has done and it seems that she has set September as the release month date because Nevis, her eldest daughter, celebrates her birthday in that month.

That's nice but also why announce it 6 months early? I guess she has no expectations of commercial success but it's still an odd rollout with only two songs fully released and left out there to drift.

That's nice but also why announce it 6 months early? As far as I'm aware, an album is usually announced earlier when there are physicals (CDs and vinyl) involved because they tend to delay the production, especially the vinyl. Personally, it seems to me that Nelly always wanted "Corazón" to lead (in a sort of way) the album, so it ended to be with the album's announcement. However, it was a little weird that the song was premiered live a year ago in Monterrey, Mexico and I guess it was because they were still doing the final production arrangements to finish it. I guess she has no expectations of commercial success but it's still an odd rollout with only two songs fully released and left out there to drift. By the way Nelly talks about her music, I see that she doesn't have any expectations of commercial success, but she likes and enjoys how her music resonates to the people. Following The Ride, she basically disappeared of the music industry, fell in love again and got two kids, but she had a break up as well. Despite she had early sessions in the studio, the reason why she was prompted to continue doing so was mainly because of the resurgence of "Promiscuous" and "Say It Right" on TikTok and DJs began remixing her old stuff, which Nevis told her and she was encouraged to do so. Also, she realized how much her music has resonated to us, especially when Drake invited to one of his gigs and she sang "I'm Like A Bird". What I'm trying to say is that I feel that Nelly has rediscovered herself and how much she loves music once again and this might be the reason why we're getting an album of hers after seven years.
