Brandy may have already scribbled her name in history books when she became the first Black ‘Cinderella’ courtesy of the 1997 TV adaptation of ‘Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,’ but now the GRAMMY winner has come full circle by lending her voice to Disney’s ‘Ultimate Princess Celebration.’

Described as an initiative to celebrate the impact of Disney’s historic and heroic princesses, ‘Ultimate Princess Celebration’ is an extended effort that will play out throughout 2021 and feature a Walt Disney Records soundtrack kicked off by none other than B-Rocka and her song, ‘Starting Now.’

Featuring the penmanship of songwriters Jason Mater, Jordan Powers, and Darren Criss with production from hitmaking music producer Oak Felder (famous for his work with Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Alicia Keys, & more), ‘Starting’ is available for your listening pleasure inside.
