Brandy - Right Here (Departed)
I expect most of you, like me, had forgotten all about Brandy, but now she is back to take on the hoardes of r'n'b divas who have taken over the charts in her absense. Her new single is very strong and sunny, and I think it's excellent, with a big chance of being a hit. Although she hasn't released an album in four years, and her last one (Afrodisiac) wasn't all that successful, she has stayed in the public eye with a reality TV show, Special Delivery, and as a judge on America's Got Talent. Right Here sounds similar to Brandy's past hits from the Full Moon album, but an updated version. She's worked with Taio Cruz and Natasha Bedingfield on her new album, so I look forward to hearing what they've come up with.
