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.’

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.
