is currently working on her new album due out in 2010. "This
album has a mind of it's own it seems. It has taken me
around the world several times". Roel says she's jetted off to LA, San Francisco, Spain and Toronto, Canada to work with producer Derek Brin (Christina Aguliera, Mya, Robin, The O’Jays) and is currently based in London. |

| London?! | ||
| "A cool place to hang out and suck up some good
vibes. I love living here. It's such a cosmopolitan city and I can hop on a flight anytime I feel homesick. Wonderful Copenhagen is just around the corner." she continues. |

| What can we expect of your next release? | ||
| “Life is what happens, when you're busy doing other things, someone once said. I figure it’s a maturity thing”, states Roel during a break in her busy
schedule. “I love travelling and have taken
the time to be inspired by producers and musicians from all over the world. 2010 is looking so exciting for me! I’ve had the privilege of setting up my own label http://www.urbanprecinct.com to give my music the creative freedom and an international platform. I will be featuring guest artists from the US, UK and Scandinavia on the new album. Watch this space! Expectations to this project are so high that it's almost scary and the fans have been wonderful and shown their dedication with their patience. It’s all good though, as I work best under pressure!” |
