I have the cd single for "Brand New"

... why ain't Missy sing like that no mo'?

Great song, cute video.

Damn...never even seen or heard that song. But yeah I have the same question, why doesnt missy sing like that anymore?

Haha did you guys spot Ginuwine in that video?

Well I didn't know that version of the song had a video.

Here is the other video- I guess it's the remix which is uptempo.

Many of the artists signed to Swing Mob were Jodeci fans who auditioned for DeVante backstage before or after Jodeci concerts, including the female quartet Sista. Among the members of Sista was a young singer/rapper named Missy Elliott; she brought her friends Tim "DJ Timmy Tim" Mosley and Melvin "Magoo" Barcliff along with her when she and Sista moved to New York after getting signed to Swing Mob. DeVante liked Mosely's unusual production style, and, dubbing him "Timbaland", began working with the young producer on material for Jodeci, Sista, Playa, and Swing Mob members Elgin "Ginuwine" Lumpkin and Sugah, another female quartet that included Tweet.

The Swing Mob members recorded dozens of records, including an entire Sista LP, chiefly written by Missy and produced by DeVante and Timbaland. 4 All The Sistas Around Da World was scheduled for a 1994 released, but was shelved.

That's so sad.

But some people have this LP because apparently promo copys were made (and two videos!)

" Sista, the brainchild of Devante Swing of Jodeci, released one album in 1994 before they sadly went their separate ways. The group was comprised of vocalist and rapper Missy Misdemeanor Elliott, LaShawn Shellman, Chonita Coleman, and Radiah Scott. This superb and extremely underrated album was produced entirely by Devante Swing and Timbaland, and spawned one single release, "Brand New," which charted briefly. The album is a mix of 20 R&B and hip-hop flavors, segued together with skits and interludes. The highlight of the album is the searing ballad "Feel of Your Lips," which features surprise cameo appearances by Mary J. Blige and K-Ci Hailey of Jodeci. "

Thanks! The remix had Static from Playa on it.

I'd love to see the video for Missy's song "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of" by Raven Symone so I could laugh and laugh...
