by R&B singer Brandy has been working relentless to regain the fame she once enjoyed. Even though she was voted off Dancing With The Stars, it gave American a chance to get to know her again, much like her past hit TV show Moesha. With season two of her reality show âBrandy and Ray J: A Family Businessâ back on the air, the âI Wanna Be Downâ singer is looking forward to releasing her next album as well as finding new love. Brandy, who started working on the LP on the first season of Family Business, says she will go back to her R&B roots for the new project. âIâm about to sign my record deal, but I canât say with who until itâs finalized. Youâll know pretty soon. And the songs Iâve been working on have been amazing,â Brandy tells Vibe.com âI just want to get back to my roots with this album. My last album was more pop and it didnât really have the R&B core that I wanted it to have. Of course you want it to crossover and be played in all formats, but this album will be definitely rooted in R&B. I canât wait. I have so much to sing about and so much to share.â Brandy may be making great music but her love life has been just another sad love song. âIâm not dating anyone at the moment and that sucks actually because I love being in a relationship,â she tells Vibe. âItâs so much fun and it does something to me as a woman when I’m in love and expressing my feelings for another person.â Taking some of the blame, she says âIt was definitely hard to balance my career and personal life when I was in a relationship before. But I know it can be done, Iâve learned from my mistakes and Iâll be working towards making it work in my next relationship.â So what quality is Brandy looking for in her dream guy? âHe has to be smart, he has to be able to stimulate me mentallyâ thatâs important,â she says. âI love to laugh, so heâs got to be able to make me laugh, and I like to have fun and Iâm very spontaneous. I love being a big kid and affection and love is so important to me. He has to have a love for his family and children all of the great things that all women want in a man. And Iâd like my next guy to have a little edge to himâ he canât be corny [laughs.] Also he has to be somebody who loves music. And I’d love to find somebody I can teach, who can teach me, so we can learn from each otherâbasically somebody who can make me a better person.â Read the full interview on Vibe.com
