Kat DeLuna: "Inside Out" comes out Early fall of 2010!

ASB: We heard that "Push Push" music video is going to be premiered June 16. What is the concept of the video?

ASB: Please describe the outfit "Project Runway" winner Christian Siriano designed for you in the video.

Kat DeLuna: The dress my good friend Christian Siriano designed for me is a colorful amazing gown that has an Amazing long train that flows softly but big, creating a dreamy scene as I am revealed coming out of the wave of a beautiful fabric that resembles the ocean! Feels like being reborn, reintroduced to the world!

Kat DeLuna: The first time I collaborated with Akon was when he did the remixed version of "Am I Dreaming" a song from my first album "9 Lives". This time in our second collaboration is different because we worked on this together at the same time where he produced the song and we both wrote it.

ASB: Beside Akon, who are other featured guests in your new album?

Kat DeLuna: Beside the first single "Push Push" ft. Akon, there aren't any more duets in my soon to be release sophomore album "Inside Out". I wanted my fans to concentrate more on the artistry of me as a whole and to get to know me a bit more Insideout.
