We reported it here first and today it was made official. R&B diva Brandy has officially signed with Sony Music.
Find out which label she’s now under and when we can expect new material after the jump!
Via LA Times:
Grammy-winning R&B singer Brandy has signed a record deal with RCA Records, Pop & Hiss confirmed Monday.
The deal, a joint venture between RCA and producer Breyon Prescott’s Chameleon Records, returns the singer to the Sony Music Entertainment fold. She previously called Epic Records home, but severed ties with the label in 2009 after the commercial disappointment of her only album for the label, 2008’s “Human.”
“Throughout her career, Brandy has consistently won the vote as everyone’s favorite female vocalist,” Peter Edge, chief executive of RCA Music Group, said in a statement. “I am sure that in her next chapter at RCA and in partnership with Breyon Prescott, we will record her most exciting music to date.”
Brandy documented her attempts to revive her music career — including a stint on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” — during two seasons of her hit VH1 reality show, “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business.”
Brandy joins a newly restructured RCA Records, where she’ll be on a roster that includes Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, R. Kelly, Ke$ha, Daughtry, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake.
“This is truly a blessing,” Brandy said in a statement. “Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson [RCA Music Group’s president and chief operating officer] believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I’m doing. Breyon and the team at RCA/Chameleon are creative and forward-thinking and I am thrilled to be working with them.”
She is currently in the studio working on her RCA debut, tentatively slated for an early 2012 release.
Surely I speak for the masses when I say, roll on early 2012!

Brandy hope this works out for u..if this child aint forever signing deals…#confused dropped! oh well…………..
@jamir21: bey,rih,brit,gaga,nicki # 1 FAN !!!: Wow your clearly obsessed with Brandy calling her flop, but the joke is:
Britney Spears- Been Lipsinging since 1997- 2011
Rih- Now opens her legs to attract her audience
Nicki- Stole from Lil Kim- Barbie persona, Foxy Brown- China Doll persona aka chinese tattoo, Missy- her rapping, so Nicki is not orginal- she’s HIP- POP , NOT HIP HOP
Lady Gaga- Stole:
Madonna- Like a Prayer->>>>>Gaga: Judas
Madonna- Vogue —->>>>> Born This Way
Gaga stole- Style:
Grace Jones—- >>1970’S & 80’S
Madonna—->>>1980’s & 90’s
I have nothing bad to say about Beyonce because she’s been out since 1997 with DC, so she can perform.
You must be a youngin who is 15 or something, who clearly don’t know the true form of music. Brandy been out since 1994- 18 YEARS, DONE MOVIES, TV SHOWS, AND 4 ALBUMS, SO EXPLAIN HOW’S SHE FLOP?? I THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, RESEARCH YOUR MUSIC.
Congrats for Brandy, looking foward to the new album I will buy when it comes out!!! True artist who doesn’t have to use gimicks to sell record, also I can’t wait until Monica release her album also, I will buy that also, those 2 are true R&B artists. No Gimicks!!

I would love to be her manager.
@thasright..why is Brandy stupid?? Having a bad relationshif with someone doesn’t applies to everyone else hence keep your damn stupid opinion to yourself and raise above against all odds in every situation cuz thats your ultimate ticket to survive in life.
Hey Brandy I’m firgging pleased for you and hoping for huge things coming in your way no matter what.
Oh thank the lord! Yes, I love Brandy since the beginning.
OMG finally we get to hear something official from Brandy. I really think it does matter whether you’re signed to a good or bad label its all about getting the support both in and out to get out there otherwise whats the point. I thought Kelly was once signed to columbia………??????????
Brandy is gonna do very well cuz I see #starz all over the world is hangry as hell..lol

O, mamma say mamma saw mamaco saw… I feel like music is finally being repaired! First Breezy , then Bey now Brandy and hopefully Janet too soon afterwards! This is a dream come true!
http://thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com
This is not brand new news ! I already reported this on my facebook page that I created for Brandy !! If you have LIKED the page please do so it is called “BRANDY: ON MY OWN” on facebook ! LET’S GET IT STARZ !!!!!! HOLLA!!! #TEAMVOCALBIBLE!!!
@JAMIR21: BEY,RIH,BRIT,GAGA,NICKI # 1 FAN !!!!: RTFOL your 13 years old, you clearly don’t know real music period!!! This s*** is too funny. Let me break it down to you youngin, 1. Do you think Rhianna, Gaga, Nicki will be around in the next 10 years?? I can see that they won’t, music changes, everyone is already tired of there gimicks already. Name one gimick that Brandy did from 1994-2011? For sure you can’t. Does she perform half naked? Does she perform in bra and panties?? Does she perform lap dances on her performances to sell records?? If all the answers are no, then I do suggest to do a little research on this woman music then talk. Really immature to call someone a “B****” but clearly need to expand your vocabulary. Good Night.
Child please, have a seat cuz you ain’t even worth our time and energy. Like really???????? B**** please!
Brandy come on come on come on come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!
Wavn hi toall the super #starz repping. @Jessica for someon like that to say stuff like that about the one and only Brandy says it all about their age. Don’t even waste your breath and time with whoever this is cuz this person appears to be one of the delusional ignorant twats that have been brainwahsed by the media. I feel sorry for little kids of today…smh.
Listen up y’all hataz, when it comes to Brandy y’all will loose so deal with it. Brandy is here to stay till the end of time and there’s nothing no one can do about it. the #Starz and Brandy don’t give a f*** about what you say or think cuz we already know you’re always lurking behind waiting to make some smelly snidy comments as usual so no skin of our noses. Ragedy a** b****** you need to get a jobs like any normal humanbeing and stop making the fool out of your selves.
B**** please, move to tha side! *grinding*
Brandy is THE QUEEN. I am so Happy for her and I know Success is on its way for her. I will buy Ten Copies of the new album!!!!
BRANDY SLAYS NUSAID.
The fact that Brandy has so many of yall pressed shows that she is a true contender and force. If she was a non factor “flop” she would not have Soooo Many Stans and Respect from Industry peers, She will see major success again this era, like Brandy said NEVER SAY NEVER
MMMM the real queen B(randy) returns.
Just watchin her perform @ the SA awards tells me shes ready to fly
LMAO at everyone going in on that Jamir21 fool! It’s obvious that she/he/it is a lil child who doesn’t even know who Brandy is or anything about music of the 90’s! For them to even compare an accomplished Grammy winning artist like who can actually sing as opposed to R****** and gimmicky artist like Gaga are the people she praise! SMH! Silly child.
Anywho, this is a good look for Brandy. I’m so happy that her & Breezy are on the same label. Three of my faves are on RCA now, Breezy, Christina & now Brandy. Hopefully this move will help her get back on track. We know from her Youtube vidoes that her voice is still in tact so now its about the music. Hopefully she can work with some hit producers & songwriters and release some dope music and get herself out there and follow in the footsteps of her friend Monica.
YAAAAAS I am here for a Brandy Album
We need them legendary hamonies on our radios I am Ready!!
CH…@Jamir21 Kepp It Cute
Word can’t describe how f****** happy I am for Brandy. She’s been my favorite singer/artist since. Brandy fans ingore the trolls and wish the best for our girl. I love how fans that have gimmicky artists try to throw shade and throw the TALENTED under the bus becaus they KNOW their OWN fav will NEVER hold a candle to what the past talented musicians has done in the music industry. It’s completely sad some of this generation is filled with popocorn and microwable kiddie trash music. If people listen to Rihanna and whoever else they call “talent” that is FINE. BUT don’t be NAIVE to think just because a few artist fall they will not have the chance to rise again. Brandy deserves SUCCESS. When ya fav? And this @Jamir21 individual can have a seat because obviously he’s another PRESSED, DELUSIONAL and just like the rest of the Rihanna fans who think Rihanna will be relevant in years to come. Right now she may be that ” IT FACTOR” but who’s to say she might not have a career struggle herself. Her claims preach and rave on about her success but they don’t preach and rave about how talented she is. Succees is a great thing but when you constantly put down other artists who have done and achieved way more than what your fav is currently doing right now it results in question. And have the audacity to put down and talk trash about other artists who are trying to get their careers on track thinking they will never have success you are a SAD person. Brandy been doing this for 15 years. Rihanna 6. You do the math. 15-6=9. Rihanna got 9 more years until she can reach herself as an established artist. Or can she #rihannanavy? #IM DONE.
I can’t wait for Monica’s new album
BRANDY WILL ALWAYS BE MY ICON, VOCAL BIBLE ADN TEH TRUE TALENT MANY POEPLE LOOK UP TO FOR INSPIRATION AND WORTHY OF EMULATION. YOU CAN SUPPORT WHOEVER YOU WANT BUT TRASHING DOWN OTHER ARTISTS ONLY BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT YOUR FAVE IS VERY IGNORANT AND CHILDISH. GET A LIFE!
BRANDY YOU’RE 4EVER BLESS AND WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE ALL THE WAY.
brandy is blah you think that the white audience will buy this
@jamir21…..U need to shut the F*** UP U DONt know s***. Brandy is the best vocalist in the dam game. Bey do have the dance performance on lock…..VOCally BROCKA IS THE S***…U BETTA BELIEVE U C*** SUKKKKKKKERRR!!!
White people will not eat this s*** up !!!
Brandy was always cool, smooth and had a great voice. She will need to push the boundaries a little with her new sound, whilst keeping hold of her smooth tones. I really enjoyed ‘Afrodisiac’ from 2004. I hope her next album will be a success.
I SINCERELY HOPE Brandy does NOT work with Darkchild! I think the problem for Brandy is she doesn’t seem to know how to MARKET her music. Human sounded to me like an adult contemporary album yet she wasn’t targeting the adult towards an adult audience. I liked Human but I found the tracks sounded dated like out of the early 2000s. Brandy will have to seriously market her new album she can’t just appear on talk shows or radio she’s got to tour. When was the last time Brandy was on a tour? She’s got to be smart with this new album because she doesn’t want a second flop in a row.
This is great news and we can only hope that Brandy’s talent this go round will not go unnoticed. She’s too deserving and she always delivers when it comes to putting out hot music. Saying I’m looking forward to 2012 is an understatement. Roll on Brandy!
F*** BRANDY AND ALL OF HER STANS !!!!
BRITNEY, BEYONCE, RIHANNA, GAGA, NICKI 4 2011 !!!
Brandy needs to switch up her style. I love her haunting R&B tracks but she’s not going to push any units with this outta date small market. She has the vocals to pull off so much more…Push your boundries B-Rocka!
Negativity equals publicity and us starz are to classy to listen to it.
Brans got game she’s respected by her peers and is an undeniable talent….that is all.
Jamir21
is soooooo ripped i bet you ugly and a broke ass n**** who aint worth s*** how dare you come for a b**** who was a millionare b4 she was grown btch go kill your self in all the so call divas you name have all said that brandy was one of there favorite vocalist yes b**** she has plenty of fans including the pop divas you look up to o silly h**
First off, I have listened to all of the un-released tracks on the computer. They are OK, that’s it.You need some NEW MATERIAL ALL AROUND THE BOARD. Even your mother said it out loud on the show you need a ballet you need to open her mouth and sing. What i notice is that she always BLAME OTHER PEOPLE AND THE PRODUCERS WHEN HER CD’S DOSEN’T SELL it’s her fault the producers feeds off the artist if the producers feel like your’re not givien your all on the project what do you expect. So that why her last two CD’s failed. She’s aways a victum nothing is never her fault it’s always this person,the next person,other the other person.She needs to read what people say about her good and bad.Alot of people notice when ever a particular artist speak out in public and said what’s she feels, Brandy turn around and repeat what this artist say’s.Brandy just reword what this artist says. (The proof came from a recent show from another singer) IT’S AS IF SHE WANT TO BE THIS PERSON i have readed this all over the internet. Brandy is 32 years old and she been away for almost 4, 5 years and she can’t come up with a BALLET or something that can put her career back on track then she walk away from the spot light. All these your singer are comming on the sceen with trash and they are makeing money off some that don’t make any kind of since.( Maybe she can go look up the lead singer for Shylmare he needs help too. Your voice is one of a kind but, YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR VOICE AT ALL, THERE IS KNOW DEPTH OR GROWTH OR ANY CHANGE IN YOUR VOICE AT ALL. The only thing you can sing is At last my love has come along by Etta James this is not going too cut it. It’s not just 3 of you now you suposed to be a vetern in the music game and this new artist are that’s out right now make you look this small THEY ARE RUNNING OVER YOUR FACE. Another thing is i also notice is that you really don’t have a big fan base reading what other people have to say about different artist your fans sound like they are all kids they talk out the sides of their necks,and when you speak in the public eye it sounds like you are reading from a script as if don’t know how to speak for your self. BRANDY YOU NEED TOO READ SOME OF THE THING’S THAT’S ON THE INTERNET ABOUT YOU GOOD AND BAD. WHAT ARE YOU SCARED ABOUT ? YOU CAN’T KEEP DEPENDING ON YOUR PARENT’S AND YOUR BROTHER R JAY BAIL YOU OUT ALL THE TIME. Some one replied YOU NEED TO STOP HOLDING YOUR BROTHER’S HAND(BABING HIM) BEFORE YOU DRAG YOUR BROTHER’S CAREER DOWN THE TOILET LIKE YOUR’S THIS WAS VERY RECENT.
