Tiffany describes the album as a coming of age project, calling it an “emancipating experience”. She revealed in an interview in 2009 commenting on the album saying “When I sat down with the record label, I told them I did not want to be limited in the type of songs I recorded this time around. I want to make music for every one. I describe this album like turning a radio dial and no matter what type of music the station plays, you can find a Ms. Tiffany record on the playlist.”

With plans to record the album in a universal styling she comments "Any and everybody has a story. No matter the age, male or female - we all have stories, and I am willing and so ready to have all come into my life and see the reality on things. This album in my eyes is a classic, and I can't wait for the world to hear what's in store. Now that I have completely taken control of my career, and life, I have so much to release out of me. You have no idea."

Evans recently signed a managment deal with Music World Entertainment.
