Their first single, "No Scrubs," which was produced by newcomer Shekspere and written by Columbia recording artists Tiny and Candy from Xscape is set to put men with no cars, no jobs, no lives and no love in their proper places.
We all had a lot of input for this album," says T-Boz. "We sat down with Dallas (Austin) and worked on some of the concepts behind the material. For example, "UnPretty" was based on a poem I wrote that he converted into a song. It's a girl's anthem because I know a lot of women who feel insecure. Society can make them feel unpretty and I know it all starts within."
"We're taking it to the next place in terms of production, artwork, concept and image," says Left Eye referring to the group's 1999 release. "We want to be universal with this record. It's for our fans - which is why we called it "FanMail," but we also want to get it to the people who have never even heard of us," says Chilli.
