Pictured are Brenda and her beautiful niece MoRaya, writers of the soon-to-be-number-one single "Biskits Made From Scratch". This song is sure to be known as the married woman's national anthem.

The second single, "You've Gotten Use To Me," written by Brenda, comes straight from her heart and speaks for itself. Both singles were released in the Spring of 2004. The album "A Long Time Coming" consists of 9 original songs and 3 old favorites. The CD will be released in its entirety in the FALL.

While her first album showcased her eclectic and dynamic vocal style over a wide genre of music, this new CD will showcase Brenda's skills as a writer/producer in addition to her incomparable singing and performing talents. This latest recording effort is guaranteed to appeal to her enthusiastic fan base and win new fans all over the country.
