1. For her new era, will she revamp her set/performances, add a production set, more female dancers, background singers, choreography from only JaQuel and Chris, maybe go back to Fatima or collab with Bankhead, perform more fan fav/album cuts vs her singles?
2. Visuals is important in this day and age, how does she feel about being more visually present during this next era in terms of her style, music videos, and any other projects?
3. Would she consider doing a visual album or short form films of some of the songs from the album to tell a story/theme and show case her acting more?
4. What are her thoughts about award shows, making red carpet appearances?
5. As we had short era for what her fans considers as her best albums (Full Moon & Afrodisiac) has she considered dedicating concerts to perform those respective albums only for her fans? Potentially getting it recorded and premiered on a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu?
6. Why didn't she properly celebrate the 20th anniversary of her biggest album, Never Say Never? And will she consider celebrating the 25th anniversary with a mini tour and re-issue of the album with some exclusives?
7. Will she consider doing Broadway (a new character) and major movie roles in the near future?
8. Can she ensure she will have at least 4 singles for this album? First two her choice, 2nd two fan favorites based on streaming stats?
9. We noticed her recording process was documented, will we see a short film of it come to life during the album release?
10. With the emergence of young black/POC creatives ruling the industry, has she considered rebuilding her team as she's independent now and letting fresh blood who understands/respects her legacy and proper fields work for her (i.e. ME)? Lol
THIS!!!
I'd also add...
1. How did the deal with management deal Maverick materialize and how does working with Maverick differ from previous management experiences?
2. There was a rumor that you'd purchased back all your masters. Is this true and if so, what plans do you have for your back catalog?
3. Some of your most commercially successful work was with Atlantic Records. What is your relationship with Atlantic Records today and are there any plans for your past work (e.g. reissues, anniversary editions, unreleased work, etc.)?
4. The 2019 appearance planned for Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra was anticipated as a career-defining moment for many of your fans. Do you have any regrets regarding this planned appearance and are there any plans to make this up to your fans - either with a new date and/or a full-featured concert with a proper release (e.g. Netflix, Apple Music, etc.)
5. it appears that you kept the producer and writer list small for your upcoming album with DJ Camper helming most of the alum production. This feels very reminiscent of your approach to Never Say Never and Full Moon. How was the process of working with DJ Camper different and/or similar to working with Rodney?
6. Your upcoming release marks the longest break between albums that you have had in your 25+ year career. How did this break from music differ from previous breaks and how did it influence your music?
7. Do you ever have plans for a live album (especially since she doesn't tour a lot)?
8. It seems that you've reconnected with Mariah Carey in recent years. Have there been any talks about a possible collaboration?
9. Jaycen Joshua recently posted a snippet of your album to IG and Justin Timberlake commented, saying that you are still once of his favorite voices and a few months back, we saw you both in the studio with the Neptunes. Have the two of you collaborated in any capacity?
10. During an interview with South Africa press in 2017, you mentioned that you'd collaborated with Sam Smith twice. What happened to those collaborations and will fans ever have an opportunity to hear them?
