Sit back. Brandy and Monica, the two R&B powerhouses who brought you one of the greatest pop songs on earth “The Boy Is Mine” in collaboration are back in the studio again. No news on what’s brewing, but it’s going to be huge. Maybe this is why Monica’s new album New Life has been postponed. It would be great to have a huge collaboration again.

Monica is ready to bask in the glory of Still Standing further but releasing another album this year tentatively titled New Life.
