In reply to credits.

She wasn't signed directly to RCA she was signed to Breyon Prescott's label Chameleon and distributed thru RCA. Breyon left RCA and moved Chameleon to Epic where he now has a VP position. When he left RCA, Brandy's distribution deal was no longer valid leaving her free to go with Breyon to Epic or to find a deal directly with RCA or elsewhere. It sounds like Brandy chose to go to Epic.
