He dropped a second cryptic message on his Twitter account, with a menacing message: "When it hits the fan, and it all goes down, the gloves WILL COME OFF!"

So what exactly is Church teasing? Good question, and the answer is deliberately unclear. Though judging from the messaging, and what we hear in the video, it's a good bet he's finally ready to unveil some new music.

The date Church mentions in the post on his website is October 22, which could mean a new single � or at the very least, news about his long-awaited next album. His platinum-selling Chief came out more than two years ago, so fans have been chomping at the bit to hear something new. Church has been pretty tight-lipped about any of the material or what it will sound like, though he has dropped a few hints.

For instance, when Radio.com spoke with Church at Lollapalooza this summer, he didn't offer much about what he was working on, only to say it won't sound like Chief. - more on this story
