Whew hope the rest of 2018 is full of stuff like this!
Queen wait !
So she?s definitely finishing the entire season 2 of ?Star? out, clearly.

season 2 starts back up in March
Forgot the exact date but it?ll be next month
It's nice she's acting again. I don't watch Star but a book is a book.
Yes I love this damn rebranding she's doing!! Fuck being an R&B girl! Market yourself as a damn artist a fucking recluse like Sade and them. Make them fucking salivate and then only debut your music live..... Ughhh if she does an album release concert than she would kill!!
it seems like she's really easing her way back into her musical zone...
hopefully she will throw some knock into this equation

Robert Glasper, Common and Karriem Riggins will release their debut album as August Greene this March.

Looking back on Common's gripping Tiny Desk performance at the White House in 2016, I recall a couple of prophetic moments. The first was that the rapper confessed his desire for an Emmy Award while fixated on Bob Boilen's trophy on the desk in front of him. Months after that confession, he would win his first Emmy for his performance of the song "Letter To The Free." The second moment was that pianist Robert Glasper and drummer Karriem Riggins, both of whom produced "Letter,"closed the performance by sneaking in a small J Dilla tribute. They locked eyes and laughed as if there was some sort of revelation. As I stood in the White House Library, I remember thinking to myself, 'They should form a group.'
This year, they've officially become an item by the name of August Greene.
"August Greene actually formed before we chose a name, before we even knew it was a band," Common tells NPR. "Karriem, Rob and I go back many years. It was something natural."
For their first offering, the trio recruited the vocal bible herself, Brandy, to revamp 1991's "Optimistic" by Sounds of Blackness. It's most certainly a heavy duty for one person to play the role of a 40-member choir, but if anyone is up for the task, it's Brandy. Her voice has aged like the finest of wines, layering harmonies all over Glasper's signature keys and Riggin's rapid drums. This iteration of "Optimistic" hauls more live instrumentation while staying true to what Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis originally orchestrated. Common's bars serve as the proverbial cherry on top while a choir lends a hand to close the jam out.
Glasper had previously teased that he was back in the studio with Brandy following their work on his 2013 album, Black Radio 2, but this was not what I expected. "Optimistic" will definitely come in handy to recharge our personal batteries in 2018.
August Greene's self-titled debut album will be available March 9 as an Amazon Original.

I?m so happy for her !
Would yall be mad if Robert produced the whole next album?
Yes, well tbh if the album is released I?ll be happy
but that?s definitely not what I would want all the way

No but I would prefer a variety of producers though.
He can def get some placements but not the whole album
i love that brandy has had some dope producers ep her whole album
but i pray she steers from that this time
let her ep her own album and rock it out.
I def want Bran to go back to her old formula though, of connecting with 1 producer to produce the chunk and have others fill in the colors of the album
