NEWS: Brandy Signs With RCA/Chameleon Records (Sony Music)

Singer Brandy has officially signed the record deal to RCA/Chameleon Records!

The joint venture between RCA and producer Breyon Prescott’s Chameleon Records, returns the singer to the Sony Music Entertainment. With the commercial disappointment of her 2008 album 'Human' with Epic Records, it was only right that she went back to Sony.

“Throughout her career Brandy has consistently won the vote as everyone’s favorite female vocalist,” stated Peter Edge, Chief Executive Office, RCA Music Group. “I am sure that in her next chapter at RCA and in partnership with Breyon Prescott, we will record her most exciting music to date.”

Breyon Prescott, CEO of Chameleon Records said, “Brandy is an icon who changed the sound of R&B music, I’m proud to say she has signed with RCA/Chameleon Records to take her to the next phase of her career. She’s a blessing and music needs her again.”

“This is truly a blessing,” says proud Brandy in a statment. “Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge, and Tom Corson believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I’m doing. Breyon and the team at RCA/Chameleon are creative and forward-thinking and I am thrilled to be working with them.”

The Grammy-award winner is now currently in the studio working on her sixth album, which is scheduled for release in early 2012.
