"OK. You guys have waited long enough. So here it is! I'm so excited!" she posted on Twitter linking to her initial YouTube video announcement.
Orrico posted a video to YouTube to her explain her absence from music and what she's been up to in that time. She said she was busy moving to and from (and back to) New York, and just living out her 20s.
In the video, Orrico said she was back in the studio working on an album, and even went to acting school and will be pursuing that avenue as well.
The 27-year-old was signed to ForeFront Records at just the age of 12. She released her debut album, Genuine two years later. Her next album, which was self-titled, sold over 500,000 copies, going gold.
Her last album, 2006's Beautiful Awakening, did not fare as well in the U.S., but she did will overseas.
Since then she had appeared sporadically at shows, but was mostly quiet.
Her last post on Facebook before her big announcement addressed rumors.
"There's a ton of rumors going around that I worked with Katy Perry on her new album #PRISM. Sad to say, those are just rumors. But I am VERY excited for this new album of hers. That girl can SING!" she said.
