Literally less than a month after being released from prison and entering a half-way house, T.I. has already started talking about a new album.

After the release of 2008′s Paper Trail, which garnered multi-platinum success, Jim Jonsin, the producer responsible for T.I.’s #1 hit “Whatever You Like,” opened up to Rap-Up.com album the album:

“He’s back in the studio. I sent him some music via e-mail,” Jonsin reveals.

“He can work during the week and not on the weekend, I believe. He’s definitely working on an album for this year right now.”

There’s no concrete direction, release date or title for the album, but it sure to come out before the end of 2010.

Fresh of the heels of a hot new photoshoot with famed celebrity photographer, Derek Blanks, former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland is already hard at work on her third studio album.

It seems like producer, Jim Jonsin is dropping all the hot details about upcoming albums, considering that he’s working with everyone this year! She’s been working with he and Rico Love, the duo responsible for Bey’s “Sweet Dreams.” They’ve completed four songs together.

“She’s doing a pop-house and R&B sound, like a mixture,” Jim says. “It’s really cool. Some uptempo stuff, some ballads, all around really nice — more like a Donna Summer sound.”

In addition to working with Rico and Jim, Kelly, who is said to be channeling Donna Summer this time around, will also reteam with famed DJ and producer, David Guetta (whom she made #1 magic with on the single, “When Love Takes Over”). She is also said to collaborate again with long-time friend, Nelly.
