Muni Long recently opened up about one iconic singer who inspired her throughout her music career: Brandy. Muni Long recently sat down with Nadeska Alexis for an interview. During the discussion, the “Time Machine” singer talked about the artists from whom she drew inspiration. Her mind immediatley went to singer and actress Brandy Norwood. She jokingly told the host she was “obsessed” with her 2002 album, Full Moon.
“Brandy is a master at that [background singing]. Her ‘Full Moon’ album…I was obsessed,” she says. “Oh my god, I wore it out until it was skipping. I know every song, word-for-word.” Released in 2002, Brandy’s Full Moon album debuted at No.2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The project was a follow-up to her sophomore album, Never Say Never. Despite getting mixed reviews upon its release, the album has become a touchstone for many artists.
Muni Long Opens Up About Divorce
After nearly a decade of marriage, the “Hrs & Hrs” singer announced she and her husband were calling it quits. During recent interview on The Cruz Show, Long explained, “I always pull from real experiences because I’m writing from my unique perspective. I can only talk about what I know. But this is the first time I’m putting my real life in it. It’s no secret…I’ve been married for nine years…it just didn’t work out, you know?”
Long continued, “This is one of the most amazing times in my life, and if you can’t celebrate that with me, I’m so sorry, but I’m going to have to leave you behind. I cannot. You wake up every day mad, and there’s literally nothing to be upset about.” She adds, “I think it takes incredible strength to realize like this was the love of my life at one point – and he probbably could be really good for me if he got it together – but I’m not willing to put my life and my passion and my happiness on hold for you to catch up. Unfotunately, you might get it in a year…but I’m sorry I’m probably already over it.”
