Brandy Two Eleven

Two Eleven is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Brandy.

Scheduled for a US release in June 2012, the album will serve as Norwood’s debut release with RCA Records, following her departure from Epic after the release of her previous album Human (2008). The album title alludes to Norwood’s birthday on February 11 and the day that her idol Whitney Houston died.

Two Eleven follows Norwood’s least commercially successful album, Human (2008). Its foundations can be traced back to 2009, a time when Norwood had been working on a second album with Epic Records, involving contribution from Ne-Yo and Stargate as well as The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.

However, after singer-songwriter Amanda Ghost was appointed the new president of the label in February 2009, Epic terminated Norwood’s recording contract with the company. As some of the material recorded under Sony Music was left with the label and re-recorded by other artists, her departure from the company temporarily halted production on a sixth sudio album. By mid-2009 however, she resumed work on brand new songs in the studio with producers such as Sean & Kadis.

Throughout 2010, Norwood continued recording independently with a variety of musicians, including producers Danja, Clinton Sparks, The Jam, Corey Gibson and songwriter Stacy Barthe.

Some of this was chronicled on her VH1 reality series Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business, which originally aired from April 2010 to February 2011 and spawned a soundtrack of the same name (2011), on which some of the tracks were included.

In September 2010, producer Bangladesh confirmed that had been commissioned by Norwood to helm the production of the entire project, though Norwood later expressed her intent to further connect with several producers, including Rodney Jerkins,Hit-Boy, Tha Bizness, Jim Beanz, WyldCard, Kevin McCall, Rich Harrison, Rico Love, production collectives The Woodworks, The Runners, Sean Garrett, Chris Brown, Drake, Timbaland, Jim Jonsin, Noah “40? Shebib, Frank Ocean and Ester Dean.
