Brandy has found a new label home thanks in part to Epic. Brandy's last (and overlooked record) "Afrodisiac" was released when she was signed onto Atlantic Records.

It's all about the songs and music. British soul artists haven't come with the right music. Estelle has the right music and producers; her music will speak for itself. She's undeniably a star. [BILLBOARD]

And to prove that point made by John Legend, Estelle has had the number one single, "American Boy" with Kanye West on the UK Billboard charts.
