Exclusive: Brandy Talks New Album, ‘The Game’ Season 5 & More

Published: Saturday 7th Jan 2012 by Sam

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 Juices 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!

  2. Jessica January 6, 2012

    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!!!

  3. Bran Star January 6, 2012

    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?

  9. Criss January 6, 2012

    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.

  10. Steffon January 6, 2012

    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

    MANY celebrities (who shall remain nameless (cough) Beyonce, Rihanna, etc) should take notes.

  36. Bookem January 6, 2012

    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

  38. ats January 6, 2012

  39. Spunkypoop2001 January 7, 2012

  40. D-MONEY January 7, 2012

    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).

  41. Tim January 7, 2012

    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

  42. Todd January 7, 2012

  46. BeyStan January 7, 2012

    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!

  47. BRANDYALLDAWAY January 7, 2012

    2012 are u READY? …. SET …. BRANDY!!!

  48. rir navy January 7, 2012

    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.

  49. MONICAANDBRANDYSTAN January 7, 2012

    I support them both but they need to bring it and stop playing around. 🙂

  50. BrandyNMonicaStar January 7, 2012

    I can’t wait!!! Just got the message on twitter that Bran and Mo are in the studio with Rico Love!! #TEAMVOCALBIBLE #TEAMMO #TTLO

  51. BRANDYALLDAWAY January 7, 2012

    The 1st SINGLE gon SLAY- and she looks so happy lately.. it means were gonna get some exciting new music believe me!!!!

  52. ChristinasCOMING January 7, 2012

    @ 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.

  53. credits January 8, 2012

    @bookem Girlfriends is not a spinoff of moesha. The parkers with mo’nique is actually a moesha spinoff.

  54. Sonic January 8, 2012

    @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.
