Ronald - who claims to have heard 26 song she has recorded for the album - previously said: "Robyn is not happy with the new album. She's not comfortable with it. When she went over the songs she found all these little things she wanted to change and was worried about it. It's a long process and isn't easy.
"It's been three years now since her last album and she wants this to blow everything else away, no competition, because she's calling it her 'first album.' "
