Missy Elliott Opens Up About Her New Music: "There's No One Like Missy — No One"
![On creating her own sound: "When we were up in Rochester, [Virginia,] we didn't listen to the radio, we didn't watch videos, so we didn't hear nor see. We created a sound that we didn't even know we were creating. It's just that we didn't know what was hot, so we just was creating music. I wish I could get back to that space of not seeing or hearing, because when you see and hear, you start to concentrate, and then you are afraid to try something new because it don't sound like anything else."
On what she wants people to think about her new music: "There's no one like Missy — no one."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/zk67ZCak_F7DFt9r31LBX9O5ZhE/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/07/15/739/n/1922283/7405a2f669da5c59_MCX080119Fe_Coverstory_002_wm/i/creating-her-own-sound-When-we-were-up-Rochester-Virginia.jpg "On creating her own sound: \"When we were up in Rochester, [Virginia,] we didn't listen to the radio, we didn't watch videos, so we didn't hear nor see.
