Fan favorite Brandy released her official first single last week, “Right Here (Departed),” (click here to listen) produced by long time friend and collaborator, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins. And after the single dropped, it seems as though a slew of new information about Brandy’s new album, now officially titled Human has surfaced. The album also has an official release date of November 11th, and her single will officially impact radio September 16th, although it’s already getting spins all over the country.
Brandy also sat down to talk about the album. Here’s what she had to say:
“Human is my most personal album to date. I have grown so much since my last album. Being able to express myself and my journey through my music is a feeling I can’t describe. With this new chapter of my life it feels good to have Rodney, a familiar face, by my side again. He brings out emotions in me like nobody else.”
In addition to speaking about the album, some information about producers, writers and song titles has also surface. Brandy worked with British pop singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, as well as other new songs such as “Long Distance,” “Torn Down” and “Piano Man.” On her fifth studio album, Brandy has also worked with Brian Kennedy, who was responsible for producing Rihanna’s fourth #1 single, “Disturbia,” RedOne, James Fauntleroy (producer of Jordin Sparks’s “No Air”), as well as The Clutch.
SEAN KINGSTON PREPS SECOND ALBUM
Jamaican-American singer/rapper Sean Kingston is on the way of releasing his sophomore effort. In a video blog, Sean Kingston says that he has just recorded four new songs which will later appear on his upcoming second set.
Kingston refuses to give further information about the release date of his upcoming album and his new singles. He just said that the singles that he is working on are handled by Atlanta-based producer Polow Da Don.
PCD ALBUM DELAYED
The popular girl group the Pussycat Dolls seem to be the latest to suffer an album push-back. Doll Domination, originally slated for September 16th release, has been moved back a week, now dropping on September 23rd. What is with all these albums being pushed back?
I’m think that these labels just need more time to rush out new singles and videos to draw more interest to the project. It seemed as if the Darkchild-produced “When I Grow Up” was doing well with all of the performances and video play, but has since died out. Now the Dolls need a little something more to light the fire into the interest of the project again.
lets play a game called…who can name the pussy cat dolls other than nicole…i know i cant…
Can’t wait for the Brandy album
iI won’t be buying any of Brady’s music, nor the Sean kid..

CANT WAIT FOR BRANDY!!!!! I KNOW THAT CD IS GOING TO BE HOTT!!!!!!!!!
FIRST IM SO HAPPY BRANDY IS BACK THE REAL RNB PRINCESS:)
AS FOR THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT GROUP IF ITS A GROUP WHY DO I ONLY HEAR NICOLE COME ON MELODY SINGS WAY BETTER THEN HER
BRANDY IS OFFICIALLY BACK THE QUEEN OF R&B BEST BELIEVE SHE IS RIGHT HERE… AND SHE AINT GOING NO WHERE U FLOPS SCARRED !! U SHOULD BE LOL…
LMAO @ Randy YOU ARE TO FUNNY BUT THATS TRUE BRANDY IS NOT GOING NO WHERE
PCD has always been really extra, so whatever to that. B-rocka is gonna bring it. I love her music. time for real r&b to stand up!
I swear PCD is surposed 2 hav a new member from there show the next pussycat doll !!!
On other notes can’t wait for Brandy to drop her ablum !
um greg_arious, the pussycat dolls are not b’s competition and if they were they’d be no competition. come on now, lol
>>>I was so joking.
>>>But I honestly think thats the way many Knowles haters think
>>>Every album push back or anything worng goes on in the industry
>>>Beyonce nem had something to do with it.
Go Brandy! I like the new song. She is gonna shat all over Monica’s numbers!
Sean Kingston? Laughable.
PCD got pushed back. So what else is new. Nicole thought she was a star and went for her solo joint. Little did she realize that she was only the star of the PCD, which isn’t saying much! Too funny!
Murderer
Brandy KILL IT girl! Oh how I missed her so…
I like Brandy’s new song and I can’t wait for the album. I donno how the younger generation will take it since all they know is pop&b not real R&B.
********@ 11, she sure did, she sure did.
BRANDY IS THE BEST — CNT WAIT !!!!!
@1
Nicole
Melody (my favorite…I had a dream about her last nite >.
*Kimberly, Ashley, & Jessica
I can’t wait to hear Brandys new album
Even though I don’t think Brandy’s album will do well, I wish her all the best with this album.
Sean Kingston needs to shut the hell up. I can’t stand his annoying a** voice! He’s very untalented and just irritating!
There’s no suprise that the Pussycat Dolls album has been pushed back. Everytime I visit Nicole’s fansite, there’s no news about them. The reason why this group hasn’t done well is because people finally noticed how untalented this group is. Plus, Nicole messed it up by being the only singer. I don’t understand how they’re a group when Nicole sings everything! And CL, they didn’t have many performances with this single like you thought they did. They had a few around the world, thart’s about it.
I’m soo excited about Brandy’s comeback!! – She never fails to deliver GREAT music! – And not to mention she looked absolutely amazing on the set of the new video for “Right Here (Departed)”!!
Go head Brandy. Apparently Tia Mowry’s husband is gonna be playing her love interest in the video for this new track!! Can’t wait.
Who the fuck wants to hear Sean Kingston’s lame ass?? He had his fames hes a one-hit wonder!!!!!!!!!
I cant wait for Brandy’s new project…I love her voice and style!
Sean Kingston I will have to pass on I dont really like him!
PCD I love them but they need a new single out and fast…
__PCD’s album was only pushed back a week…it ain’t like it was pushed back
__several months, unlike Michelle W, besides PCD’s album will do well regardless
__of when it drops..and yes PCD is mad talented..let’s get that straight!
__I’m not really looking forward to Brandy’s album, the single sucks and I’m really not
__not excited…
yes brandy is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BROCKA IS BACKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
ITS BEEN A LONG TIME, BUT I THINK ITS TIME FOR HER TO SHINE AGAIN. SHE DESERVES ALL THE SUCCESS IN THE WORLD. SHES INCREDIBLE.
I did see a little preview of the new Brandy video and is it true that Tia Mowry’s husband Cory Hendrict is going to be her love interest in the video. Little X is directing it and she made a comment saying the video is something that we will not be disappointed in at all. I love it Brandy, I love you 8/11/08 Human will be in stores. Your fans all your back all the way. Real musicians like Alicia Keys and Brandy are the apitamy of real original R&B music
Lol my b 11/11/08 Human will be in stores the new Brandy album. Ya’ll should heard another song off her album called Fall if you liked this one it is real R&B mixed with pop. It’s like a slow ballad
I can’t wait for brandy, but is the video necessary? All the major network are stuck on reality shows. If I was part of her crew we’lladvertise over web and radios, promo tours, fan interactions etc… Videos justdont do it anymore.
EBT, is a puppet to vh1 and MTV.they won’t put it on rotation.
Off topic? What’s with the hosting jobs over at EBT? If I wasn’t mistaken its suppose to appeal to african-american; or is hispanic the new black? I feel like boycotting their 2,000 espiode party.I wonder if they are keeping rocsi because of all. The drama for ratings? Then again who’s looking out for sticks(terrence) and stones?( rocsi)
@22 judging from the very pop inclined contributors (natasha bedingfield…wtf?) i am sure this is designed to be a pop/r&b record.
i love the first single though. and i love the girl. brandy forever!
brandy new single is so hot. Its getting me through some tough times. Even if you don’t like da single you should cop her album because its always classic. She’s beyond explanation so just listen. I swear she will impact your life. She has impacted mine 4 times already. Go B-rocka!
brandy is a has been and that song is a flop,it wont reach far,i wish she would ve chosen anotha single than darkchild produced track we all know darkchild ruins people’s career by producing whack ass singles
Can’t wait until November 11 to go pick up Brandy new album. She is one of the best female vocalists of all time. Glad to see you back B-ROCKA!!!! LUV the hell out of u !!!!
i dont like brandy song and i doubt it goes far. i will not be picking up her album cause beyonce dropping the same day or week after and saving my money for bey, i heard she coming for heffas heads. bey single drops on sept 12.2008.
@19…get da f#%k outta here!
@#19TOYA
OBVIUOSLY MONICA GOT YOU SHOOK CAUSE YOU SAW THE NEED TO HATE ON HER IN A POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER…DO BRANDY A FAVOR AND CONCENTRATE ON HER COMEBACK CAUSE IM SURE SHE GONNA NEED IT……IDK ABOUT THESE DELUSIONAL BRANDY FANS…COME BACK TO REALITY LOL………………………………………………………….
I’m too excited for Brandy. DarkChild doesn’t make hits like he does with B. They have a chemistry that you can’t describe!!! P.S. Beyonce is coming out with an album this fall? I love her but she needs to sit down and be miss for a minute. Take her time and grow lyrically. Just my personal opinion!! Smooches…
I really like the PCD’s. And their new song is cute. Sure It isnt as strong as some of their other singles from the last cd, but its still pretty catchy!
brandy is a killer!!!!!! she leaves death behind her. the public in la better hope she got a chauffer
iis anyone even convinced that pcd is even a real group considering that only nicole sings. i always thought they were the wackest pop girl group out, all they can do is make catchy lame ass songs.
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYY!
*clears throat* Sorry, but I love her.
Oh yeah, and f*ck the haters.
well i’m proud of brandy, im still a devoted fan. don’t really car emuch for sean kingston, but do your thing. and again with these album push backs?!?!?!!?
……and and for CUVAGURL08, i feel you with the names, but i do know that the blond with the short haircut is kimberly and the black chick name is melanie (i think)…lol
I guess they didn’t want to compete with Ne-Yo, who drops on Sept 16.
YOU BETTA GO BRANDY! SHE FINALLY PATCHED THINGS UP WITH RODNEY I SEE. THAT IS THE BEST SUITE FOR HER.. DARKCHILD.
KINGSTON AND PCD SHOULD ALL TAKE A LONG WALK ON A SHORT ASS PIER. BLAAAAAAAAAAH!
BTW, Natasha Bedingfield is from New Zealand
I Love Brandy! I can’t wait until her CD drops I will be buying it immejiatly! I also heard Beyonce is dropping an album in the same month! If u r reading this I love ya Bran!
