Selena Gomez is enjoying down-time with friends after finishing up her NEW ABLUM! Yes! She told Jimmy Fallon the other night that she's got new music on the way that took her FOUR YEAR to put together.

The singer said on the late-night show, "It took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album and it’s just because I had such huge moments in my life personally. How was I going to capture that and how was I going to actually feel good about what I was saying?"

Well it seems like she' reaching a place -- after her kidney transplant and mental health treatment and ALL the other stuff the beautiful warrior has been through over the past few years (another, final breakup with her first love Justin Bieber) -- where she's ready to expose herself through new tunes. And we're ready, too!

So yesterday, Friday, we spotted Gomez out with a pal, grabbing tacos for dinner. Selena wore casual boyfriend jeans, pink UGG faux shearling slides and a white graphic tee. She's looking lovely and we can't wait to see and HEAR more from her!
