Christina Milian brought some sunshine to the already hot red carpet at the BMI Urban Awards in Hollywood last week. The “Dip It Low” singer chatted with Rap-Up TV about her oft-delayed fourth album, which has been through several phases since she began recording it in 2008.

“It’s in a great place and I think I found my sound for this one,” revealed the sexy starlet, who’s been through a marriage, divorce, and motherhood since the last time we spoke with her.

Her real-life experiences are reflected on the album, due on Interscope Records. “It’s an entirely new album,” she explained. “I’ve gone through a lot since then, so it’s definitely a little more honest. It’s based on just living life and there’s more to talk about now. But it’s urban, it’s pop, it’s sexy, it’s fierce, and independent. It’s awesome.”

Milian is also in talks to star in ABC Family’s half-hour comedy “Maid in Miami.” She will play a housekeeper who is an aspiring singer.
