I wouldn't hold great expectations from this album. I think -unfortunately- that this will become the norm from now on, mainly because she's been doin' the same routine for a long time...next year would be the 15th anniversary from making the same schedule;single,album,promotion,tour,a-nation,tour,single,album,cdl.
In my opinion,repeating everything one year after another must be mentally insane. And she probably believes there is no more need to push herself anymore since she earned status a long time ago,and she doesn't have to struggle to get recognition.I guess she thinks she's in a position where she can take all the time she wants and relax unlike when she was struggling to be a star and keep her position as the best.
Just my two cents.
