Brown Sista

Not a drastic image change- but cute nonetheless. New promotional pics from Brandy’s upcoming fifth album “Human” hit the net today and I like them more than the first set which were released a few weeks ago. Besides ditching her braids two albums ago, Brandy hasn’t made much of an image transformation but I think she could definitely use one. I have always been a Brandy fan but I think her team needs to step it up a notch. Whoever styled this shoot did a good job but a little extra umph! was definitely needed. Still, I love the pic of Brandy in all black and those Chanel pumps are sure to become a hit.

Anyone who has visited this blog for any lenghth of time knows how much I love a great photo shoot. One thing I really look forward to when any female singer comes out with a new album, is what image she will she go with. Artists like Janet Jackson and Madonna were once known for switching up their look with each new release. Few artists today however do that. As a matter of fact, the only female I can think of who drastically switched up their look for the release of her album was Rihanna. Keyshia Cole also comes to mind, the singer eventually opted to leave behind the blonde extentions and instead embrace her own natural dark locks. Well next up is “you know who”.

More photos from Janet Jackson’s shoot with Prestige Magazine have found their way to the internet, and like the others that came before, Janet sports a short bob and a very dark, almost gothic look. I like the look but am hoping for a more cheerier vibe when the official album promo shots are revealed.

… it’s new to me at least. Here Alicia is photographed by Stewart Shining relaxing on a bed of flowers. Lovely shoot. Look for more to be added to Alicia’s gallery on BrownSista.net.

I predict 2008 will the year of the 80’s Diva, starting off with my favorite Diva of them all, Miss Janet Jackson. The planets are aligned and I feel magic in the air. I had hoped new Janet info would drop on January 1st. because I wanted to make my first article of 2008 about Janet. Rumor had it Janet’s new video would debut on BET on the 1st, but even more news has been revealed before that, so hopefully I will not only open 2008 with Janet, but close out 2007 with the sista as well. Blatin1814 was kind enough to send me a new interview and fabulous photo shoot Janet did for a Hong Kong magazine called Prestige. The interview is typical of all Janet’s interviews- so we don’t learn anything new. That leaves us to talk about the part I love talking about the most- the new pics. Now you guys know I love a good photo shoot and Mark Liddell, who photographed Janet exclusively for Prestige, did not disappoint.
