Surprise! Missy Elliott Drops New Song that will Improve Your Life

Missy Elliott has been trying to stage a comeback for a while, but for one reason or another, it keeps stalling (probably because people are too stupid to realize what a gift they have been given in Misdemeanor).
Perhaps this will change in 2017, because she might finally be on her way to releasing a follow-up to 2005’s The Cookbook. On Thursday night, she released the surprise single “I’m Better” with an accompanying music video and also teased an upcoming documentary. That teaser features people like Busta Rhymes talking about how great she is but it also shows Missy in the studio talking about how she can make records in her sleep. One can only hope this means she’s making a record now, in her sleep or otherwise.

 Meanwhile, please enjoy the “I’m Better” video, which is about as Missy Elliott as a Missy Elliott video can get. There’s underwater dancing, light-up face masks, and feather epaulets, and that’s all before you even get to the halfway point. Never change, Missy.
