Following up with last week’s great episode of Behind The Music with Nas, VH1 was back at it tonight with their newest episode featuring America’s sweetheart, Brandy.
Brandy’s childhood and love for singing started at her church and that dream was quickly taken and made an overnight sensation after her self-titled debut album. She opens up about channeling heartbreak through her sophomore effort Never Say Never, getting to work with and finding inspiration from Whitney Houston, and how dealing with the pressures of fame developed into an eating disorder.
Things took a turn for the worst in Brandy’s life when she got pregnant and proceeded to lie about her marriage, and as soon as the truth was out in the open, it took a blow on her career. She also details the accounts of what happened that tragic day on December 30, 2006, when she was involved in a fatal accident on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles.
Now, with her new album Two Eleven on the way this June, Brandy has bounced back from the ups and downs of the industry (and coping with the death of her mentor, Whitney Houston), and is prepared to come full circle with her 6th album. Releasing her second duet with Monica as her first single, watch what it took to get to this point on her newest episode of VH1’s Behind The Music.
