Flirt (originally titled Here I Am) is the upcoming and fourth album from entertainer Eve. The album has been said to involve production by Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz and Scott Storch.[1] Initially to be released on August 7, 2007, the album was delayed and never released.

Recording and production

Between this album and her previous work, 2002's Eve-Olution, Eve was busy on Eve, her television sitcom, and other business ventures.[2] Eve began recording her debut album for Aftermath Entertainment in 2005 with a tentative release date of February 2006.[3] In May 2007, XXL magazine profiled six recorded tracks from Here I Am. Five of them were produced by Swizz Beatz, including singles "Tambourine" and "Give It To You", a duet with Sean Paul. Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes produced "All Night Long".[4] In contrast to most of the tracks, Eve sings rather than raps on "All Night Long".[5] XXL published a review of the original Here I Am in July, rating it an L in its "shoe size" rating system ranging from S to XXL.[6]

Release

The album has been pushed back multiple times. Originally, Here I Am was to be released on August 7, 2007.[7] It was delayed to September 11 and October 16 but was never released because of record label issues, according to Eve in an interview with the New York Post in February 2009. She retitled the album Flirt that year.[8]
