Whether you know her as Moesha, Cinderella or Brandy, this 33-year-old star has been "putting it down" in the entertainment industry for 20 years.<br/> <br />After a four year gap Brandy Norwood has returned to the charts with her new album "Two Eleven".<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Brandy, singer, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I know for a fact that I've been gone for awhile and I couldn't find my way. I couldn't get it together, I stopped believing in myself I thought it was over for me and I just got tired of feeling like that."<br/> <br />Four years of setbacks, including being involved in a fatal chain-reaction car accident and being without a record contract, saw the singer dip to her lowest point.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Brandy, singer, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I went through - just everybody knew about the terrible accident that I went through and everybody else that was involved in that. Personally I didn't know what was going on and I'm a good person so I'm like, 'why is all of this stuff, what's going on."<br/> <br />"Two Eleven" isn't just Norwood's birthday, it is also the day her mentor and idol, Whitney Houston died.<br/> <br />Giving the CD such a poignant title was a tough decision.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Brandy, singer, saying (English):<br/> <br />"She meant everything to me. And for her to pass, period, is like - I wish I could cruse and say what I really want to say but I can't - it's missed up that she died period. But then to pass on my birthday it brings a whole - it's brings another responsibility, I feel to me."<br/> <br />Now an inspiration for many young girls, the Grammy winner issued advice to those wishing to follow in her footsteps.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Brandy, singer, saying (English):<br/> <br />"Fame and popularity, it's not the cake it's just the icing. You know, yeah, you have a better life, you get a chance to provide for people that you love. But artistry is service to those who want the connection to music, who want to feel like they are not alone."<br/> <br />"Two Eleven" hit stores on October 16.
