NEW BRANDY ALBUM DUE IN NOVEMBER: Singer calls effort her 'most personal album to date.'
*Brandy's upcoming album "Human," due Nov. 11 via Epic Records, is her first since 2004's Grammy-nominated "Afrodisiac" and is said to reflect her evolution as both a musician and an individual.
"'Human' is my most personal album to date," said Brandy. "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 ["Darkchild" Jerkins], a familiar face, by my side again. He brings out emotions in me like nobody else."
Jerkins, who first collaborated with Brandy on her 1998 multi-platinum-selling collection "Never Say Never," says "Human" is the most emotionally resonant album of Brandy's career with songs and performances reflecting the truth and complexity of her experiences.
"It feels good to be back in the lab with Brandy again," said Jerkins. "We've always made great records and I'm humbled and honored to be continuing our legacy. The sound might be new, bigger, and more uplifting but we've kept our musical promise by making great songs and great music once again. There is no musical combination like ours.
"The album's title is a real life mirror of Brandy as a woman, an artist, a musician and a performer, communicating what it means to be fully 'Human': strong yet vulnerable, candid and triumphant, in love with life and in touch with the things of the spirit."
"Right Here (Departed)," the first single from "Human," leaked online last week and will impact pop radio on Sept. 16. The single and ringtone are scheduled to be released on Aug. 26, with a digital pre-order for the album slated the same day.
Other key tracks on "Human" include "Fall," which Brandy co-wrote with the chart-topping British dance/pop singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, as well as the new songs "Long Distance," "Piano Man," and "Torn Down."
Brandy's other musical collaborators on Human include Brian Kennedy (Rihanna/"Disturbia"), emerging production whiz RedOne (Kat DeLuna, 2006 World Cup Official Single "Hips Don't Lie" with Shakira & Wyclef Jean), and James Fauntleroy (Jordin Sparks/"No Air").
