Selena Gomez has had a year full of ups and downs, from a kidney transplant to her adorable relationship with The Weeknd. Now, she’s nearly ready to release a new album…or two?! In an interview with Zane Lowe from Apple Music, the singer revealed she’s been working on so much new music that she has enough songs to make two albums.
“I want to get back in and re-focus on all of my music,” she said. “To be honest, I feel like I have two albums already completed, but I’m wanting to figure it out. So it’s a lot sooner than I think people anticipate. I want to call the shots, I want it to be good, I want to be ready, I don’t want to do anything that’s forced. It will be soon.” Dang, I hope soon is like next week because it sounds like Selena’s been working on a masterpiece. Sel added that she wants to spend this extra time on her music because she wants it to “be a lot more meaningful.”
Selena has been dealing with a lot, juggling her health struggles with making music. Her slower process in making this album wasn’t an accident. “I didn’t want it to be crowded by over-glamorized things and the pop world can just be really distracting sometimes. This year, I did it at my own pace.” Good for you, girl! I’m so happy she’s taking the time to do what she needs to do.
There’s no word yet on when the album (or albums) will drop, but I have no doubt Selena’s new music will be amazing given the amount of time and effort she’s spending to make it something she’s proud of. Until we know a definite release date, let’s just replay her latest single, “Wolves,” to make the time pass faster.
