Brandy set to release new album

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Grammy Award-winning, U.S. singer Brandy is set to release her new full-length album "Human" in November, Epic Records said Friday.

The CD marks Brandy's debut on the label and her first new album since 2004's "Afrodisiac."

"Human" will be released online and in stores Nov. 11, Epic said.

"'Human' is my most personal album to date," Brandy, 29, said in a statement. "I have grown so much since my last album. Being able to express myself and my journey through my music is a feeling I can't describe. With this new chapter of my life it feels good to have (executive producer Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins,) a familiar face, by my side again. He brings out emotions in me like nobody else."

Brandy previously collaborated with Jerkins on her 1998 multiplatinum-selling collection "Never Say Never."

"It feels good to be back in the lab with Brandy again," Jerkins said in a statement. "We've always made great records and I'm humbled and honored to be continuing our legacy. The sound might be new, bigger and more uplifting, but we've kept our musical promise by making great songs and great music once again. There is no musical combination like ours!"
