The song "Weeds" by Sugababes was originally written with Rihanna in mind https://youtu.be/olqYW3gN_c4?si=M2qxOSukVnbflyvJ Conversation about Weeds starts at the 18:00 mark

It's a shame she couldn't put her version of Kissing You on here and I'm surprised she left out Worldwide Woman

Yummy is so underrated, her album "The First Seed" is one of my favorite mid-2000s R&B albums and I also love the stuff she did in the group "Tha Rayne" (They originally recorded "No L.O.V.E" before Jhene Aiko)

Ooh let me add to this! Beyonce - Yes Kelly Rowland - Past 12 Michelle Williams - Change The World LeToya Luckett - No More

Can't believe I never posted this, these are demos that were pitched to DC4 when they were still under the name of "Destiny" in early 1996 during the beginning of their time at Columbia. Interestingly enough, the tape also had their previous name "The Dolls" (named by Daryl Simmons) which they were using when signed to Elektra in 1994/1995. Destiny ('s Child) aka The Dolls - Unreleased EP Demo 7 Tracks - Mega Rare Exclusive R&B - 1996 - YouTube RIP to Andrea Martin (Don't Let Go, Lose To Win, Before You Walk Out of My Life, I Love Me Some Him) who sung one of the demos here titled "Fallin' In Love" Here are the credits I found for the demos - Fallin' In Love (Andrea Martin, Bradley Young, Dow Brain) - Vibe With You (Robert Jerald, Sherre Ford Payne) - Dreams Come True (Robert Jerald, Sherre Ford Payne) - My First Love (Robert Jerald, Melissa Ritter, Ricky Jones) - Right Here In My Life (Andrea Martin, Greg Smith) - My Baby's Coming Home (???)

Had to make this post since the 25th anniversary of her unfortunate passing is coming in a couple of weeks. There's not much info out there about what songs could've been pitched to Aaliyah during her seven-year career but if anyone on here has anything, feel free to add! @AccioEmpireBuilder @nooniebao @guppypuss Age Ain't Nothing But a Number (1993 - 1994)The Isley Brothers ---> At Your Best (You Are Love) One In a Million (1995 - 1997)Marvin Gaye ---> Got To Give It Up Sugah ---> Sugah & Spice (First track by Missy Elliott & Timbaland ever pitched to Aaliyah, rejected due to lyrics sounding juvenile) ---> Candy by Tha Truth The Isley Brothers ---> Choosey Lover Aaliyah (1998 - 2001)Be Your Fool (Terrence Dudley) ---> Rejected Bounce (Terrence Dudley) ---> Rejected Can't Do It On My Own (Phalon "Jazze Pha" Alexander, Johnta Austin) ---> Gimme Some by Toni Braxton ft.

Had to add this Destiny's Child track here for the hunches section. Listening to this I can totally hear Brandy on this and it would've fit well with the material for Human Destiny's Child - Nuclear - YouTube

Another song that comes to mind that can be added to the hunches is "Girls Like That" by Blaque that was recorded for their album "Blaque Out" in 2001. It was written by Dallas Austin & Debra Killings (who of course does backing vocals) Blaque - Girls Like That - YouTube

I'm really surprised Brandy hasn't thought of a doing a rarities release like Mariah did, I think it would be a great opportunity for her to put out and introduced more of the world to her unreleased music

Do you guys see her beginning the ACT III era around late October/early November after the B'Day release?

Can't remember where I read it but Kiley Dean recorded the Afrodisiac outtake "This Must Be Love" Oh and the Darkchild produced "2nd Thought" was recorded during the Human sessions

From what I was able to find, it seems it was for Erika's potential solo project titled "Phoenix Rising". The tracks were done between 1998 to 2000 Stay strong /w Erika R. Hedman, 1980- (a.k.a. Erika Rose) ; w & m Alicia Augello Cook, 1980- (a.k.a. Alicia Keys) Detailed Record View | U.S. Copyright Office Public Records System Rose-colored lenses /w Erika R. Hedman, 1980- (a.k.a.

Here's a few more tracks I found that you can add Songs In A Minor Stay Strong (Erika R. Hedman, Alicia Augello Cook) ---> Erika Rose Rose Colored Lenses (Erika R. Hedman, Alicia Augello Cook, Kerry Brothers Jr.) ---> Erika Rose Behind Closed Doors (Erika R. Hedman, Alicia Augello Cook) ---> Erika Rose

I remember reading somewhere that Alicia was pitched and probably recorded the Rodney Jerkins produced "Lease My Love" for Girl On Fire but it didn't end up on the album and was given to UK group The Saturdays Lease My Love - YouTube

Got another hunch, this was produced by Damon Elliott who worked on the Survivor album. I can actually see this fitting on there Lovher - Happy Days
