Bobby Brown is back with Masterpiece
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 1:12:45 by Farasat AliBobby Brown is set to release his first solo album in 14 years. The singer with a mezmerizing voice has told his fans that he has been trying yo turn his life around after taking a long break away from music.
Now on tour with his fellow band New Edition, Brown says he is ready to resume his career with the album Masterpiece, which will be released on June 5.
"It’s about what I’ve gone through my life and just try to heal through music," said the singer of 43 years in a recent interview.
Brown was a multi-platinum star as a member of New Edition when he launched a solo singing album. But his well documented battle with drugs and legal problems led to his downfall in the music industry. His turbulent marriage to Whitney Houston further eroded
his image.
According to various sources Brown denied that he has guided his dead ex-wife to become a drug addict. Houston’s career was derailed by drug use, which surfaced during her marriage to Brown.
The American uperstar was drowned in a bathtub of a hotel in Beverly Hills, California, in February and her death was further complicated by heart disease and consumption of cocaine.
"The idea of my interview with Matt Lauer was to clean the air as to what people were feeling with the death of my ex wife," said Brown.
Although he was arrested for drunken driving in March, Brown insisted that he has been drug free for over seven years. He said his attempt to reorganize his life is part of the reason it took so long to make his album.
"When you’re working on yourself, you really should concentrate on that and the rest of what you want to do takes a back seat," he said.
The 43-year-old R&B singer, who started working on "Masterpiece" last year, conceded that his new venture could be his best album ever.
"But I’ll do better in the near future," he said. "I just want mine back, which is the show, and this is a start to return to what I do."
Brown is committed to his manager, Alicia Etheridge, who has a young son. It also has four older children, including Bobbi Kristina, 19, his only daughter to Houston.
Brown said he and Etheridge plan to wed in a private ceremony and expressed contentment with his life: "I’m happy right now, I’m comfortable with myself."
