Brandy’s comeback album, Human, originally slated for release on November 11th has been pushed back to December 9th. People have rumored that this is due to the fact that Timbaland wants to add some of his finishing touches to the album, but most are under the impression that the single, “Right Here (Departed)” has not been performing on the charts as well as it should.
I think they’ve made the right decision. It’ll give them time to put out a second single (“Long Distance”), as well as allow people to realize that the video is, after all, #1 on BET’s 106 & Park.
T.I. MAKES HISTORY
T.I. made history this week after the release of his sixth solo album, Paper Trail. After debuting at #1 on the Billboard charts, selling 568,000 copies in its first week, T.I.
This marks T.I.’s third consecutive #1 debut on the charts, as well as his best first-week sales of his career. T.I. is responsible for the biggest sales week for Atlantic Records in the history of the label.
The Atlanta-bred rapper have the #1 album in the U.S., he also has the #1 single. “Live Your Life,” featuring pop princess Rihanna jumps from 80-1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track sold 335,000 downloads this week in the U.S.
Wow, that’s great for T.I.
GINUWINE INKS NEW DEAL
Ginuwine is prepping his new album to release first quarter of 2009 and has inked a deal with Notifi Records with distribution on Warner Bros. Music. This will be Ginuwine’s follow-up record to 2005′s Back II Da Basics, as well as his greatest hits album that dropped in May of 2007.
Ira Dewitt, CEO of Notifi comments on the signing:
“Notifi Records is proud to be working with such a well respected artist and look forward to the creative direction this project is headed. Our current plans include having a single out this October and an album released by quarter one of 2009. We are lining up top producers and tracks as we speak.”
I haven’t been a Ginuwine fan since he stopped working with Timbaland after his The Life album, but I’d like to see what cards he’s going to play in order to stay relevant in this day in age. Will Ginuwine try to hop on this pop train, or will he stick to his R&B roots?
TONI BRAXTON PREPS COMEBACK
Toni Braxton, who can most recently be seen on Dancing With the Stars. After being released from her contract and performing dates in Las Vegas, and medical problems, Toni has signed a new deal with Atlantic Records and has decided to shed a little light on her upcoming project, a follow-up to the highly underrated 2005 release, Libra.
The new album is set to drop at the top of 2009, and Toni has revealed that the single, which will be impacting radio sometime next month, will be produced by none other than Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.
I’m interested to see what the two are going to come up! Toni has worked with Darkchild previously (remember “He Wasn’t Man Enough?” from her album The Heat?) so I’m sure they’ll have some chemistry to rekindle. Rodney has been getting a lot of work lately, too. I’m hoping that this album is good, because I really am a Toni fan. Let’s hope she can keep up!
there are many pop princesses but there’s ‘one princess of pop’. so dont get ur arms in the air
Ginuwine is a cool ass dude.. he comes into my store and shops all the time… I talked to him just this Monday and told him I heard a new song from him.. he just smiled and said “that song is 3 years old.” He’s very down to earth!
II love Brandy’s new song “Right Here (Departed)” it’s very inpirational!!!
Big ups to T.I. great album!
………T.I. has a good heart…that’s why he continues to be blessed…congrats!…Don’t let up!
I like Genuwine, i would support him. And brandy just brings good vibes, all the best to her. And lastly congrats to T.I.

I DONT AGREE. I WANT HER ALBUM AND THE LONGER I WAIT I MIGHT JUST NOT WANT IT LATER. NAW IM LYING. I REALLY REALLY WANT HER ALBUM. LOL
ITS THE MOST ANTICIPATION FOR AN ALBUM AS FAR HAS ‘I’ GO, THIS YEAR.
I think its a good idea for brandy to push her album back….people compare her record sales to beyonce’ or ciara, but what you all fail to realize is brandy was doing her thing waaaayyy before beyonce or ciara, shes sold millions of records as an “original” solo artist while these girls were still recording demos to even get noticed. I love beyonce and ciara also, but brandy has already seen a bigger success than bey or ciara and naturally since then the newness and the hype calms down….the most successful artists will not sale as much as a newer artist.People always ditch an older artist for the new ones, it will never stop. But when it comes down to it,regardless of sales, who’s albums will actually have real bonafide lyrical content,yeah shake your half naked ass while u sing over a busy beat,,who cant do that,but who gives you complex harmonies, real lyrics,crazy runs, and unbelievable tone….its brandy…and I bet all of the brandy haters somehow strangely know the words even if its the chorus to her new sinlge…so shes getting your notice even if its by way of haterism, but how much notice have u gotten from brandy…none, because nobody’s dont get noticed, if she only sales 2 copies of human, it would still be more than anyone on here has accomplished.Beyonce has a beautiful voice, but we’ve watched her grow from a young teenage girl in destinys child to being another typical sexy sexy sex driven vixen, instead of a woman…these women fail to realize that young people buy and liten to more music than older people, and in that, they naturally become role-models.We dont need young girls singing bout puttin rings on their fingers while they skip around in their video in swisuits doind pelvis thrusts and greased up…”Human”…not “InHumane”
