I’ve Changed (interlude)

This brief interlude, *I’ve Changed (interlude)*, just over a minute long, serves as a sonic breather within Missy Elliott's discography. It's not a piece for dancing or chanting, but rather an atmosphere that invites reflection, a moment of pause that allows the listener to absorb the energy of what precedes or anticipate what's to come. Its short duration and introspective nature make it a subtle bridge, a brushstroke that adds depth to the album's listening experience.

Born Melissa Arnette Elliott on July 1, 1971, in Portsmouth, Virginia, Missy Elliott has established herself as a multifaceted figure in the music industry. Her career, marked by seven million records sold in the United States and six platinum albums, is a testament to her impact. She has been recognized with five Grammy Awards and is the only rapper with a double-platinum album, *Under Construction* (2002). Alongside her collaborator and childhood friend, Timbaland, she has been responsible for hits like *The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)*, *Get Ur Freak On*, and *Work It*. Her foray into production began in 1996 with Ginuwine's album *Ginuwine... the Bachelor*.
