Grammy Award winning singer and actress Brandy performed “Right Here (Departed)” and was interviewed on the Today Show on December 5, 2008.  See the video and Brandy’s photos in December 2008 VIBE magazine here.  After a four-year hiatus, the R&B star is back with her fifth studio album, Human, in stores December 9, 2008.

In the Today Show interview, Brandy expressed her gratitude over being back in the music world and said she felt blessed to be “singing new songs and working with great producers.” She also talked about her daughter, “She keeps me motivated. She keeps me inspired.”

Interview

A portion of her emotionally intense interview with VIBE Magazine is online, in which she discusses the car accident and how she has coped in the aftermath.  Here is an excerpt in which she talks about her young daughter.

“Her love feels like no one else’s love,” Brandy Norwood says, walking, maneuvering through New York City’s heaving Chelsea streets after her first press photo shoot in years.  It’s all in anticipation of her powerful new album, Human (Epic), her fifth, and first in four years. It’s talking about her daughter, Sy’rai, though, that overwhelms her. Brandy’s words tumble into each other: “I like her as a person.  She makes me laugh. So much insight comes from her. She’s 6 going on 18. We sing together.  We crack jokes. We’re like best friends.”
