The latest on Brandy's new forthcoming album & recent label signing

Following her signing to RCA/Chameleon Records, Brandy is going all out with her new album she is returning to her classic R&B roots that we all know and love with some assistance from hitmaker Rico Love. The Divsion 1 CEO commented, 'I’m excited about the records I’ve done with her so far. I think we need to make it classic, just the music that people love. There’s no real formula to it. I just believe in a strong melody and a strong concept. You add a great singer, especially a singer that has had the success that Brandy’s had, and a hit song is a no-brainer.'

Some may remember in her VH1 reality series A Family Business,' Brandy experimented with her rapping alter-ego Bran'Nu, but she's decided against using her. Rico Love commented, 'That’s what I’m going for, just classic R&B. Great concepts, great vocals.' He has recently been in the studio to work with Mary J. Blige and Usher. On speaking about Brandy he said, 'I push her to the limit vocally, same way I push Mary, same way I push Usher, same way I push Mario, Kelly. I just push people. If I know how great they can sing, I’m gonna push them that much harder. It’s like a coach who has the best player, you just want tomake sure you run him to death in practice, so that they can perform to the best of their ability when it’s game time.'

I'm so excited, as Brandy has also revealed that Chris Brown and Frank Ocean are contributing to her 6th album in 2012. Yesssss!
