This is pretty awesome news. Makes me think the song is going to be something like INSPIRE and Don't look back. I guess that's silly though, basing that just on the location of the PV filming, haha.

All these little details are so agonizing! I need an announcement and release date ASAP!

INSPIRE *____*

if her new song would sounds like INSPIRE I could die happy :laugh.
But I wouldn't mind a heavy-rockish song like talkin' 2 myself :3 with a post-apocalyptic/war PV in the desert.
Also, the Middle East it's great for epic ballads. Lol there are so many possibilities, we have just to be patient I guess.

OMG this is awesome news! :D I hope she takes full advantage of the beautiful landscape there!

So awesome! I hope she doesn't just shot it in a fancy hotel or something >_>

And ironically enough, INSPIRE was filmed in LA XD

i still think it would sound more like brillante based on location alone...

^^If it was a masterpiece like BRILLANTE, then I guess that's great, but I really want a lot of awesome upbeat tracks.

I hope it's more of a heavy song with slight darkness, like Microphone. The setting there would be amazing!!! Or who knows, it could be something like Party Queen!!!

Cool! I'm so excited for this album!

Another song like Don't look back or Inspire is really interesting

I'm going to look like a real B&^&^ but it always baffles me when I see people confusing the Middle East with India and other Southeast Asia. I know wikipedia is down but if you look up what the Middle East constitutes India and Thailand are not in the middle east. They are all in Asia but that does not make them the same. INSPIRE is Thai inspired more than anything. Brillante is confusing because of its drums but the strings and creepy choir are not common to anything Middles Eastern. The Zither in Don't look back is more Indian than Arabic, however the violin-like parts are reminiscent of arabic music so that's probably the closest to a 'Middle Eastern' song she has come.

It takes more than black eyeliner and baggy pants to make a song "Middle East" inspired. With that said, I hope she does something post apocalyptic in the desert like in Kazeyomi's post.

I think Middle East can means only Dubai

Abu Dhabi?

I was going for the look of Brillante and not the sound to make a reference to the Middle east.

And if you want to get technical about it.. India is the middle east and what people are referring to when they say the middle east now-a-days is actually the Near East.

India is not in the Middle East. Its not even in the near East. Both terms refer to an area that doesn't go further than Iran and India is east of Iran.

I hope she does something like that too! It would be really cool. I want her to do something 'out there' and slightly different!

Yeah she has been only in Dubai or Abu Dabi, I wish she would come to my country :laugh

^Me too!!! I would seriously have a freak out if I met her! But yeah, I LOVE the location!

if she shoot a video here in brazil she'll probably be shot as well... jk! it would be awesome if she came here =\
