R&B star Brandy has certainly been a busy girl as of late.
While cooking up her hotly anticipated new album, the singer has returned to her former mainstay – acting. And in a big way.
With a pronounced (and recurring role) on season 5 of BET’s ‘The Game’, That Grape Juice‘s Patrick B caught up with the stunner at the exclusive screening for show’s first episode in Los Angeles last night.
There, the 32 year old dished on her character (‘Chardonnay’), as well her new single and album, when we can expect them, and a whole lot more.
As ever, we ask the questions you really want answers to.
Your thoughts?

She is so sweet! I wish they give her a chance! she has major talent! Good luck Brandy!
I can’t wait for this girl to drop her album!!! She is putting her heart and soul into it, can’t wait who she will have on the album and the tracks. I hope she did a song with my boy Ne-yo and my girl Monica also, they both have wicked chemistry when they do a track together, real talent right there. Can’t wait Brandy!!!
Go Brandy!!!!
I’m so proud of her. Can’t wait to see her on The Game next week.
#TeamBrandy #TeamStarz
Let’s go!!
Okay, well I’ve never been a fan of Brandy or her music…I prefer Monica…but commercial R&B needs to come back to prominence, so for THAT reason (and that reason alone) I hope the album actually does well. Hopefully in 2012 a new wave of mainstream R&B will emerge and end this terrible era of dance/pop and hipster/pop that’s been ruining everything these past 3 or 4 years.
So for THAT reason, I’m not gonna hate on Brandy.
I’m glad she knows what she’s got to do to make a REAL comeback. You have to remind the world why they fell in love with you for you to comeback and be relevant.
2012 sees the return of “REAL TALENT!”
Brandy, Monica, Christina, Mariah, JoJo, Pink the list goes on…
It’ll be amazing to see all my favs return to the top of the charts and give them manufactured gimmicks a run for their money which is what’s lacking these days on the charts.
Do you honestly think you’d see Rihanna, Gaga, and Katy dominating the charts if they had REAL competition?

Her reaction to the question of the 1st single seems like the label may have chosen not to use that one song as the 1st single? She seems to be still looking for that song, finalizing what to put out 1st.
She is so funny and down to earth. I am so ready for this new project and and the acting ventures. I see she just wants everything right this time around. Can’t be mad @ that. I’m so ready

@Bran Star: Till this day I still listen to Brandy’s first album when I got it at 14 years old, her music is quality, I’m glad she is back, and actually I’m glad the real artists are coming back, Kim, Da Brat, Missy, Charlie Baltimore, Eve, Monica, Mariah, SWV, and maybe Janet, those are real artist bringing quality music.

MANY celebrities (who shall remain nameless (cough) Beyonce, Rihanna, etc) should take notes.
if you really go back and watch moesha girlfriends was a spinoff from moesha, and the game was a spin off from girlfriends. so brandy could become moesha again

—————————————————————————————-
Nobody wants to hear Mariah manipulate vocals in the studio. Child boo please; besides, she is irrelevant
Love her!! She is so funny! I can’t wait to see what Ms. Brandy has in store! I’m excited!
loveeeeee loveeee this girl she is such a champion!
WHITE GIRL MOB S*** TRASH….WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELF…..PLEASE STFU… NOBODY KNOWS WHO KREAYASHAWN IS, RICK ROSS ATE HER CAREER AT THE AWARDS…..SHE HAD ONE CATCHY SONG, AND THAT DOESN’T DEFINE HER AS A WHITE FEMALE RAPPER..”… SIT THE F*** DOWN…. WILLOW SMITH IS BETTER THAN HER (just to throw a name out there).
Okay I’ve been a beyonce stan for awhile BUT I’ve been a brandy stan FOREVER!!! I anticipate her albums more than anything!! To me she’s one of if not the BEST singer out .. If u wana fight me u can?? No she’s not a powerhouse but she doesn’t need to be to convey almost every emotion vocally .. Its almost scary how intricate her harmonies and ad libs are!! Brandy is THE TRUTH! Okay ill get out of stan mode now LOL I just can’t wait
I love her but im sooo ready for this single when are we gona get it?? Come on brandy you dont need a feature for your first singe…stop making us wait you told us december or early january and we are ready so please give us something…
YES BRANDY!!!! Give me my life!
I CANT WAIT!
I love Brandy she’s highly anticipated but ummm yeah she needs to hurry with the single and the Album because im here for the music!!!!!!!
Everybody is working with the SAME PRODUCER’S!
GOSH! I’m OVER IT!
Why dont they “DO THEIR RESEARCH” and find some NEW! HUNGRY! TALENT!
The same 4 or 5 producers Keri, Kelly, Ciara and whoever else has worked with Brandy said she’s working with…and then they wonder why the material doesnt sell!
BECAUSE IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME!
2012 are u READY? …. SET …. BRANDY!!!
I AGREE WITH BEYSTAN. I THINK BRANDY NEEDS TO BRING IT THIS TIME IE FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL BRING SOEMTHING TO CHANGE THE GAME FOR GOOD BUT THEY ALL SEEMS TO BE WORKING WITH THE SAME PRODUCER..SMH. BETTERYET I’LL STILL SUPPORT BRANDY ANY JSUT A LITTLE BIT CONCERN WITH HER THATS ALL.
I support them both but they need to bring it and stop playing around. 🙂
I can’t wait!!! Just got the message on twitter that Bran and Mo are in the studio with Rico Love!! #TEAMVOCALBIBLE #TEAMMO #TTLO
The 1st SINGLE gon SLAY- and she looks so happy lately.. it means were gonna get some exciting new music believe me!!!!
@ Brutally Honest-
Is that really your argument honey? Obviously you missed it when I said “My favs”…
Like I said, what’s missing these days in the industry is real competition and that’s why Rihanna, Gaga, and Katy have all become very successful with getting #1 songs. They don’t have any REAL competition.
@bookem Girlfriends is not a spinoff of moesha. The parkers with mo’nique is actually a moesha spinoff.
@White Girl Mob is a troll. It’s Kreayshawn herself or her PR people who are trying to create a buzz. Just ignore her. She is irrelevant.
