It's been a while since US singers Monica and Brandy took the world by storm with their R&B masterpiece that was "The Boy Is Mine" - fourteen years in fact. The track, which turned out to be one of the biggest selling singles of the decade, is easily one of the most recognised anthems of the '90s.
In addition, it's been a while since the girls made waves with any of their solo material. Whilst "The Boy Is Mine" LP produced three Billboard Hot 100 number one hits for Monica in 1998 ("The First Night", "Angel Of Mine" and the title track), she's only had one top ten hit since (2003's "So Gone" from her "After The Storm" album).
Brandy has shared a similar fate with "Never Say Never" producing two Billboard Hot 100 number one hits ("Have You Ever" and "The Boy...") and only one top ten hit four years later with "What About Us" (taken from "Full Moon").
So, you might assume that the girls are looking for a golden comeback with their latest collaboration of "It All Belongs To Me".
Rico Love, who produced track, has been quoted as saying "It’s a very soulful R&B song with pop sensibilities. I wanted to make sure I made it a classic R&B record, but I definitely wanted to make sure that it had enough appeal to cross over and become a Top 40 record."
So, does it? We'll let you be the judge - take a listen to the new track below.
"It All Belongs To Me" is available digitally today (US) [iTunes]
