Monica & Brandy Team Up Again For “It All Belongs To Me”

Fourteen years after topping the charts with “The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy and Monica reunite on the highly-anticipated follow-up, “It All Belongs to Me.”

Described by producer Rico Love as a “very soulful R&B song with pop sensibilities,” the ladies take a different approach from their 1998 single, kicking their men to the curb on the empowering tune.

“It is not anything like ‘The Boy Is Mine,’” explained Monica. “At this point, this is where you’re taking your power back and we gon’ come together. This is totally different than that era and I hope it speaks to all the people who are making diss tracks and going hard on each other. Come together and watch the numbers move.”

MONICA DEBUTS LIL’ KIM-LESS VIDEO: ANYTHING (TO FIND YOU)

Monica debuts her new video ‘Anything (To Find You)’ via YouTube….and it’s snooze-worthy!

Ms. Thang brought it back to the 90′s with her Mary J. bounce et al, but I’d rather actually listen to any song on ‘What’s The 411′ than this – plus Lil’ Kim would’ve killed this beat had she stayed on the project…thanks for the let-down Ms. Wallace.

Plus can anyone relate to a happily married Monica singing a song like this??  Thoughts??

“My Life” in stores November 8.
