Girls Dreams

Missy Elliott has always been one to embrace the future, and her first unheard music since last year's Pharrell-featuring "WTF" doesn't stray from that habit: brand new track "I'm Better" sees her dipping a toe into the choppy waters of trap.

As she rides a sparse beat as comfortably as ever, Missy's signature playful flow is alive and well ("watching my body like he watching Scandal"), with her off-the-wall style represented by the music video's futuristic slant – most of the action takes place underwater, and there are space hoppers. Because Missy.

With production and a minimalistic hook from Lamb, "I'm Better" is a brave new world for Missy Elliott, but if past trajectories are anything to guy by, we can comfortably expect her to be running trap in, ooh, three months or less?
