A Family Business
''A Family Business'' a 2011 compilation album released on Saguaro Road Records and Time–Life Music. Based on the American reality series ''Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business'' which aired on the VH1 network between the years of 2010 and 2011, it was released as a soundtrack accompanying the series' second and final season. Executive produced by the Norwood family, the show chronicled the backstage lives of singers Ray J and Brandy Norwood, while taking on larger roles in their family's management and production company, R&B Productions.
The album features previously unreleased content from both siblings and their parents Sonja and Willie Norwood as well as contribution from Norwood's daughter Sy'rai, her half-sister Rain Smith, and fellow singers such as Tasha Scott. Production on the compilation was handled by several producers, including Big Bert, Clinton Sparks, and The Jam. Upon release, critics such as ''The Washington Post'' declared it an "awkward and adorable and really, really wholesome collection."〔
==Background and development==
Collaborative efforts between Brandy Norwood and her brother, fellow R&B singer Ray J, had been in talks since 2005, when Brandy was firstly signed to Ray J's record company Knockout Entertainment. It was announced that the siblings along with rapper Shorty Mack and other performers, would form a supergroup called ''TKO (Tha Knock Out)'' and release a debut album of the same name in 2006. Plans eventually fell through though, also because Brandy was involved in a fatal car crash. It wasn't until late 2008 when further news surfaced about a collaboration project between Brandy and Ray J. ''Billboard'' reported that the singers considered releasing an album called ''R&B'', "a nod to the siblings' respective first initials as well as their chosen style of music."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Billboard )〕 Yet again after the commercial failure of Brandy's ''Human'' (2008) album, this project was postponed.
In early 2010, VH1 reality show ''Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business'' was announced and in addition to starring siblings Ray J and Brandy, their parents Willie Norwood and Sonja Bates-Norwood were also set to appear. In June, Ray J announced that the title of the collaborative album would be named ''TKO – Trust, Knowledge & Opportunity''. The label Time-Life was announced as well as the fact that it was no longer going to be a duet album but more of a "spiritual, feel-good () album".〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gWdcWaDW-A&feature=player_embedded〕 By August 2010 the first studio footage of Brandy recording the album was released to the internet. While ''Billboard'' announced Brandy's song "Lifeguard" to be the project's lead single,〔http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/956212/brandy-talks-dancing-with-the-stars-bristol-palin-new-music〕 it was the Brandy, Ray J and Willie Norwood collaboration "Talk to Me" which was eventually released as the album's first single on November 22, 2010. It failed to enter any ''Billboard'' chart.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrXENW1tpeA〕 Even though the album was first announced to be released in March 2011〔http://www.singersroom.com/news/6678/Brandy-and-Ray-Js-Family-Business-Album-Set-For-March-2011-Release〕 to coincide with the second season of ''Brandy and Ray J: A Family Business'', it was not until June that the album was made available for purchase.
