Brandy has been an influence on countless artists over her 20 years in the industry and her influence is very apparent when you listen to many current vocalists now. Chris Brown, Rihanna, Dawn Richard are just a few of the singers who have cited Brandy as a major inspiration for their musical careers.
22-year-old Canyon Lake, California native and former American Idol contestant Tori Kelly is taking the music world by storm with her debut album Unbreakable Smile and has been gaining recognition for her amazing vocal ability. Well now Tori has taken on one of Brandy’s classic hits to pay homage to the singer.
The Capital Records belle released an acoustic version of Brandy’s 1995 hit “Brokenhearted” from her self titled multi platinum debut album. The clip was actually posted in 2013 but we are just getting wind of it this week when Brandy herself shared the video to her followers and Facebook friends.
