I came across an old MTV article from 1997 that Brand did when she was recording MTV. The interview doesn't specify which Mariah album she's referring to, but if it was 1997, it's possible was she referring to #4 on Butterfly, which is "The Roof"
QuoteMTV: But Brandy won't be gettin' it on with her fans until 1998. She's hoping to drop her second album in March, leaving the diva-in-training with plenty of time to take notes.
BRANDY: I like Celine Dion, I definitely like Celine Dion. I like Mariah Carey, I still love Whitney Houston. I also like Jewel. I look at all these other female artists that are coming out and who've done so well. I get to see what they're doin' with they self, you know, and the imaging and the songs, and I get to take bits and pieces from everybody and put it into my own style.
I'll do a song, and then go in my car and listen to someone's CD and if that sounds better than what I did, I'll have to go do it again. Like I listened to number 4 on Mariah's album, I said, "Oh my God, I have to do the slow song again, it has to be just like this, it has to be this type of quality."
