Check out the album cover for Brandy’s comeback album, Human, which drops on November 11th. This is Brandy’s newest project since 2004′s Afrodisiac and her first release with her new label, Epic Records. On the album, Brandy is working with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, who produced her lead single, “Right Here (Departed),” as well as The Clutch, Keri Hilson and a host of others. I know Brandy fans alike can’t wait.
BEYONCE PLANS TOUR + SHOOTS 2 VIDEOS
Beyonce, who has been giving us a little information about her new project, dropping on the 18th of November, has already begun plans for a tour in 2009 for the new album. The artist will play international dates next spring, followed by a North American tour in early summer.
Beyonce has yet to release her singles, “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies,” but she’s shot videos for both – and both were directed by Jake Nava. The songs will impact radio October 14th, while the videos will finally premiere later on in the month.
The artist will perform one of the new singles Nov. 6 as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, England.
Also in the works is a Beyonce AOL Sessions and a deluxe edition of the album, also due Nov. 18, featuring as-yet-unannounced bonus tracks.
USHER ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES
Usher, whose latest album, Here I Stand didn’t do as much as predicted (especially after the huge reign of 2004′s Confession), has announced dates for his upcoming One Night Stand tour. The tour currently contains 15 dates at intimate venues. I think this is best for Usher, considering that the album didn’t do as well as planned. His true fans will get a chance to see him in a more close situation.

LIL’ WAYNE BEGINS WORK ON CARTER IV
After the huge success of his last album, Lil’ Wayne has announced that he’s already working on his new album, Tha Carter IV. According to his blog on ESPN.com, the rapper is in the studio working on the new project, as well as a new mixtape. The new mixtape, Dedication 3, will fall under DJ Drama’s “Gangsta Grillz” series and “you can expect it real soon,” Wayne says.
He also says that he’ll rerelease it with 20 extra songs for free on his website.
In addition, Lil’ Wayne is also collaborating with T-Pain for a highly anticipated duet album, T-Wayne” which is slated for 2009 release.
“We’ve got three or four songs we’ve finished,” T-Pain tells Billboard. “They don’t really have titles. We’re just doing music and however it comes out, it comes out.”
Brandy looks great, nice pic…now am i first?
Brian you are on it man!
Brandy looks cute! I have to give it to her!
Im sooo excited about Brandys new cd ive always been a huge fan she makes timeless music to me beyonce blah im not interested this time around its like shes trying TOO hard to stay in the spot light this time because Rhiannas tha new it girl and she knows it better luck next time usher not at all interested love lil waynes music will cop wayne and brandy when they drop
beyonce always try to bring so much hype to her music and it is never all that. All this screaming and jumping around is not always necessary. Where is the creativity and originality? I am not too eagered to see the same ole same ole thing
Yay Brandy! I LOVE her! I can’t wait!
Beyonce’s planning a tour before the album drops? Ur that confident, huh?
I would like to see Usher at one of the LA dates…but not for $150! We’re in a recession.
Lil Wayne stay workin. I’ll pass on the T-Wayne duet joint.
Love the Brandy cover. Wish Beyonce would sit down already, thought I was gonna get through the year without hearing from her. Usher needs not bother with a tour. T Pain can go away as well.
Brandy beautiful cover I can’t wait for her cd.
Bee my girl is going to slam us over the head again. Take your ass and sit down somewhere j/k I can’t wait.
Weezy snooze
Oh hell yeah I going to see Usher *calling Mi Mi to make plans*
good to see my girl Brandy looking good
Damn. I thought he scrapped that T. Wayne shit but thats wishful thinking.
i can’t wait to see Usher in concert!
brandy looks amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzingggggggggggggggggggggg…..cnt wait for her albuum to drop
Does Brandy’s album title refer to the type of weave she has on? The cover looks cheap. Like the single tho.
I LOVE ME SOME USHER BUT IM MAD HE’S FROM TENNESSEE AND NOT COMING TO EITHER MEMPHIS OR NASHVILLE NOW I GOTTA DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO ATLANTA!!??? DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE…
Can’t wait for my Brandy’s album!!!
Beyonce needs to sit down somewhere. Enough is enough already!!! It’s over kill!!
And the same w/ Wayne. I’m tired of the Carters. Not 2 say I ain’t gonna buy it but still
not a brandy fan but she looks good in that pic…i wish her well
Brandy looks amazing! Very angelic, indeed! I will cop her shit on Nov. 11th.
Cute cover B-Rocka!!!
Brandy’s album will most likely be hot. I’m looking forward to the release. She’s working with Dark Child again and they have incredible chemistry.
Usher please…your last album tanked and now you want to tour in more “intimate” venues for your fans. Nice strategy. I’m sure you’d tour in a much bigger venue in a heartbeat.
………LMAO at the “intimate setting” comment about Ushers tour. Lol we all know
………what playing at “small venues” mean. Poor Ush, his career is down the toilet.
I love Brandy and I can’t wait for her album to drop. I’m so happy a real artist is back and this year Brandy better be nominated for awards because when her other albums drop she didn’t get the recognition she deserves.
i’m excited for the usher tour… i will definitely be there… i love my baby too much to not go!!! intimate or not… i’m going to see my baby!!!
brandy can go suck a frickin’ egg… can’t stand that heffalump!!!…. pisses me off…makes me sick to my lil ol tummy to see that child…. ugh
as for beyonce… love you girl… always will!!!
LOOOOVE BRANDY’S ALBUM TITLE!!! not really feeling the pics though. really doesnt do her justice cus she is beautiful
yawn on both usher and bee’s upcoming projects (sorry to all the millions of beyonce fans in advance)
BEYONCE IS THE HARDEST WORKING FEMALE IN MUSIC…EXCITED TO SEE WHAT SHE BRINGS THIS TIME!
I wish Brandy the best with this album and I hope she has a personal driver while she is out promoting it, cause lawd knows what happened that one specific time she got behind a wheel of a car.
Brandy’s album cover is hot, I wanted something more artistic but this gets my sample of approval as well.
Beyonce….mmmmmm she is back to the over marketing again, she is nervous because so many artists will be out at one time so she over doing it…..AGAIN! Let’s get ready for her album of club bangers with little substance!!!!!!
Usher, I hope he is humbled now….cause my man got cocky for a minute.
#26….in case you missed the update Brandy was ACQUITTED of all charges because IT WASN’T HER FAULT. Please don’t down a quality artist, and if you do down her at least know what you are talking about!
……. bey gurl please give it a rest already…. lil weezy i hope you put the cup down this go round lol
i agree bri-ursh still makes money and his fans get to see him close-can beyonce do a small venue tour?! dayum, lol…and speaking of her-yay for new vids…i feel you wayne-gotta strike while the iron is hot…
oh my badd-and Brandy’s cover’s nice, she looks reallygood on it…
brandy is a horse like female!!!
beyonce i love!
Brandy looks absolutely AMAZING. I know her album will be the bizzness– because when has she ever come incorrect?? It will be fresh and she will be singing her heart out like on her new single!!
#13 – the answer to your question is yes lol
I look forward to Beyonce in a way, but I KNOW it will be over hyped and over praised.. That’s not a good look.
@ 32..How dare you say Brandy is a horse like female and then say you love Beyonce..you got it twisted honey you meant to say Beyonce wears horse-hair and you love Brandy
Yess. Brandy looks amazing. Can’t wait for her album.
Oh……
and @ 32
Your mom.
I see someone’s upset…poor q.u.e.e.n. mad b/c you could never? Brandy is an icon and I’m so glad to see she’s back out on the scene! She’s been missing for a minute and we are glad to have her back to deliver that real music that we’ve been lacking! Get ready for the takeover!! Beautiful album cover! Where is Brandy’s AOL sessions?? Epic…wtf?
I can’t wait to see what Beyonce about to do…I love her!
Usher..I love him too!
you know the haters are gonna hate…but @ the end of the day they are big Brandy fans! They are just unhappy with themselves…poor them!
why ya’ll be playing me on my posts concreteloop? wtf?
my bad…I see it…:)
hahahahahh @ 34. “beyonce wears horse hair and you love brandy”.
i’m loving brandy. what a true artist should be. i hope she gets the credit and coverage she deserves. ever since afrodisiac, i’ve lost hope in the music industry. An album like that drops and goes unoticed? what a shame.
HUMAM will reign NOVEMBER 11!
Buy that album yall ! Request her music !
I love the brandy cover but something about her face looks alittle off. I think the designer over photoshopped her. Shes so pretty – she doesnt need all that photoshop.
Although I am in a recession I will be purchasing Brandy’s album only because that’s muh girl and she has a realness about her. I will gladly burn Beyonce’s cd though she has enough money for days. Lil Wayne I was crunk about his lastest cd but I don’t wanna hear anymore of that voice thing they use. ( sorry I don’t know what it’s called)
Not feeling the Brandy cover, but all that matters is the music! Can’t wait for the album!
BRANDY LOOKS NICE BUT ODD AT THE SAME TIME…WE ALL KNOW HER NOSE DO NOT LOOK LIKE THAT…WHY THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS BE DOIN ALL THIS RETOUCHING AND AIRBRUSHING AND EXPECT PPL TO BE BLIND OR STUPID….THEY DID THE SAME SHIT TO MARY J. BLIGE…I HATE THAT CRAP CUZ IT LOOK SO FAKE!…ANY WAY….NOT A HATA JUST STATIN THE OBVIOUS…IM HAPPY 4 HER THO SHE SEEMS ALOT HUMBLE NOW WHICH IS ADMIRABLE.
OH AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD…ALL YA’LL WHO BE FRONTIN ON BRANDY AND DONT BE GIVIN HER HER PROPS ON HER MUSIC SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YASELVES….I’VE ALWAYS LIKED BRANDY… EVEN MORE WHEN SHE CAME OUT WITH THE NEVER SAY NEVER ALBUM AND I THINK SHE IS SERIOUSLY SLEPT ON
LOL didn’t Bey just come off of a world tour? she’s going to wear her fans out, she really needs to chill. I know some die hard fan is ready to slit my throat (it ain’t like she’s paying you to defend her, she don’t give two sh*** aobut u).
NEW FLASH!!!!
Brandy wears horse hair too. Difference is Brandy has the horse teeth to match the horse hair.
I HOPE HE’S NOT ON DAT PHUK EFFORT ALA THE CARTER 3
Oh and Bey wears human hair. Horse hair is too cheap for a star of her caliber. LEARN IT!!!!
don’t blame beyonce 4 over kill.. wen ur in demand ur in demand! people take pics of her and they get posted on sites like this.. there is no such thing as sitting ur ass down! she goes out 2 eat..they take pics and post..people say she needs 2 sit her ass down! I like beyonce and brandy… I’m waiting 4 that BEY shit though! I like her MUSIC…FUCK ALL THAT OTHER SHIT YALL TALKIN ABOUT. that just doesn’t count anymore!
#46
Beyonce’s last World Tour was summer/fall of 2007. She is scheduling this one for summer of 2009. So thats two years. So how is she wearing the fans out?
She does not need to chill. Chilling is for BUMS….she is a business woman.
JAKE NAVA..
NOT JACK NAVA.
LMAO at #47!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummmmm……
Did anyone forget to state the obvious? Since when has Brandy spelled her name with an ”I” at the end? Has Brandy changed to Brandi or is that just a missprint and poor editing? I think someone needs to fix that before the cover goes to press. Not a good look, ya’ll. Not a good look.
@55 i think it Y with a * on top of it
but Brocka look hoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"”"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for
on that site.Is she single again now?-☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I’m so happy Brandy comin’ out with a new album.I’ll be buying that,in a heartbeat!!
Beyonce is annoying,I mean nothing against her,I like her music,but she needs to take a break,a LONG break.
@ 54
its just the font they used. it has a star on it but its still a Y. you can find the font at dafont.com if youre curious.
Beyonce please go away! Your last album was overly marketed and was nothing more than a bunch of useless rushed party songs with no substance! Ashanti’s album is better than hers and she gets no respect!
Brandy is back and I love it!
All these tours is what makes Bey the money cause her last album sucked!
@55
Thats a “y” with a “*” at the top of it.
