Brandy is on the comeback trail! After razzle-dazzling audiences on Broadway in Chicago, the 36-year-old's new sitcom, Zoe Ever After, debuted last night on BET. And lest you forget that she still has the pipes, Brandy dropped her new song, "Beggin & Pleadin," following the premiere.

Hopefully "Beggin & Pleadin" is making good on the promise of the new EP Brandy spoke to Out about last spring. 
"All I know is that it's special, and it's real, and it's raw, and it's going to be classic," she said of the project. So far, the track has at least one superfan excited:
