I hope so.

RedOne seemed pretty hyped about Porcelain for a while- I think he seriously wanted to get her out there (whether that be for the fact he made pretty good music with her or because he saw her potential is anyone's guess though).

Either being the case, considering she's signed with Young Money and is working with these pretty popular producers, my guess for the album's MAJOR delay is that they were trying to time a good release so she could get noticed, but something big came out from a more mainstream artist each and every time. And they're just trying to find a lull so she has enough time to get her foot in the door.

The past three years, Katy Perry released and re-released Teenage Dreams, the release of Born This Way happened, Adele was ruling from her throne, Rihanna made a few albums, then Nicki Minaj released and re-released Pink Friday/Prink Friday: Roman's Revenge/Pink Friday: Roman's Revenge: THE RE-UP and then Ke$ha... well. Ke$ha tried. And right now, really- the only relevant female pop artist I've heard on radio and I've heard buzz about (besides GaGa by her fanbase on here) is... Taylor Swift. And I think Rihanna is trying to show back up, I dunno. Like. Literally. Everyone else is out working on albums and releasing singles from their past albums. I think now is a pretty decent time for her to at least try and be like "I EXIST" before more relevant mainstream music comes out.

Then again, this is coming from someone who doesn't really pay attention to pop culture, so I may just be a jackass.

With her saying that everything is going to be new.. I'm kinda worried that i'll never be able to hear Mannequin Factory in its entirety :(

She's working with MIA and Collette Carr so I think the album went into a different style

Guys!! My version of Mannequin Factory- completely instrumental- is finished! :D It's based on the live version, so the choruses only have one "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh's we're all mannequins" part until the final chorus.

1-hr interview: https://www.youtube....&v=96be-CJHpXY#

Sooooo much new info and someone posted:

Porcelain Black finally talks about why **** hasn't been happening and there have been so many delays. Such fantastic insight.

1) Label switch

2) 3 more singles

3) Summer release

4) No album title

Some interesting info about her Virgin deal:

She met her manager and he got her a meeting with Jamie Neilson, head of Virgin UK. It lasted 3 years until she found out Virgin was giving him (her manager) money for rehearsals and to create a live show and nothing was happening. She found out he was pocketing / stealing the money and when she was in London, he was taking half of her 'per diem' (expense money per day).

Present day:

RedOne - the hero bought her out of a deal that she was in a legal battle for 3 years. They re-worked her album. She has been doing personal training and her dance rehearsals start next week.

Things weren't happening because her manager wasn't calling her back and it took 1.5 months for the manager to contact her because the manager is busy and has bigger artists to deal with. That's the reason why they can't plan a music video and shoot. But now she has a different manager since a month ago.

Universal Republic wanted to take control but Redone's label wanted to take control because they were worried they would get side-tracked with someone else and 2101 (Red's label) wanted consistency. She's leaving Universal Republic and she's going somewhere else and things are finally looking up.

She's shooting or has shot 3 videos so they can release back-to-back. Mama Forgive Me video will probably come out end of Feb. This is her year.
