    Bringing it back again with her style of hip-hop! I love this new video and the best makes me move. She doesn't need to do anything else but be herself. Brilliance follows her every move we are so lucky to have such an amazing artist of this generation!

    Missy's new EP is a decent return to claim her crown as the first lady of hip-hop. The problem is that after not releasing an album in almost 15 years, its more like an appetizer rather than a main course. The tracks are good, but there are no real bangers. Overall I think she's on the right track, I just want a bit more Missy, cos I miss-E.

    Sin duda te cautiva este álbum desde la composicion hasta los ritmos aunque tiene pocos canciones pero sin duda la Diosa del rápido regreso con un gran EP

    First off, I’ll start by saying that I’ve been a fan since 1997 and I have always loved Missy. But waiting 14 years for a new body of work was something I wasn’t prepared for, and the more time passed I was sure that The Cookbook was the last album from Missy. Now that she’s released her EP “ICONOLOGY” I know that she’s not going anywhere.

Ready for a full length album from her!… Expand

    ICONOLOGY is a good placeholder while fans wait for the next chapter of Elliott's brilliance, but overall seems truncated and undercooked.

    Iconology is Missy's welcomed returned and a hopeful teaser for upcoming projects.

    It settles for the safe and familiar. Throw it back.
