It's possible that she may be making more of an effort to cross over. After all, Yeah-Oh was also predominately English and her Facebook page is pretty geared towards foreigners.

But it might not necessarily mean anything either because she has had all English and nearly all English songs in the past. When she was working with Dallas Austin in the early 2000s it resulted in a number of predominately English songs.
