After rocking R&B with comeback set ‘Two Eleven’ last Fall, Brandy has her eyes set on its follow-up.

During our recent Google Hangout with the Vocal Bible, she waxed honest on many a topic including her hotly anticipated new album.

Speculation ran rampant this Summer that the set was a’cooking after the singer was snapped in the studio with hitmaker Mike Will.

Ever keen to ask the questions you really want answers to, we quizzed R-Rocka about the rumors – which she confirmed as true.

Dishing to Clara Amfo, the 34-year-old also relayed her producer wish-list for the as-yet-untitled project.

Having warmed up the masses with buzz number ‘Flatline’, Brit-Pop belles Mutya Keisha Siobhan are gearing up for the next release from their eagerly awaited comeback album.

At present, the ladies (who served as the original line-up of the Sugababes) are remaining relatively tight-lipped about which track they’re set to unleash. However, they are (smartly) ensuring they keep their name and faces in the spotlight in the interim.

The trio’s latest promo stop was Reload Sessions (live on Google+), where they soared with renditions of Lorde‘s ‘Royals’ (which, dare we say, sounds more sublime than the original), Sugababes hit ‘Caught In A Moment’, and new song ‘No Regrets’.

Vocally brilliance awaits after the jump…
