New York’s weather forecast saw plenty of heavy rain and winds on October 15, but that didn’t stop
Brandy
from shutting down the Best Buy Theater for a legion of devoted fans, who came out to celebrate the release of her sixth studio album,
.
The
Put It Down
singer went old school for most of the show, but still kept it soul with a heart-warming tribute to Whitney Houston that included a dance-medley of the icon’s greatest hits,
How Will I Know
and
I Wanna Dance With Somebody
. Clad in an all-black ensemble reminiscent of her days in the 90’s, the R&B diva also performed some of her classics such as
Baby, Sitting Up In My Room
and
I Wanna Be Down
, reminding the audience why they fell in love with her voice over 18 years ago.
With her swagger at an all-time high, the Grammy-Award winning artist exuded a new found ferociousness that is evident in all of her latest records like on
Wildest Dreams
, which undoubtedly makes up for 2008’s less than perfect
Human LP
. Regardless, Bran-Nu is back to let critics know that even though she’s had some missteps in the past, she’s bringing real R&B back in 2012.
