The first former Doll to crack the scene is Kimberly Wyatt. A new track, titled “Candy,” from Aggro Santos has surfaced and it features vocals from Kimberly. The song is a dance track that we can see being played at the club a lot. Now the only thing that’s left is to see if it garners enough buzz to keep her going.

The track, titled “Caught (Don’t Take Your Hat Off)” features comedian and Academy Award winning actress (it feels so good to say that) Mo’Nique. Mo’Nique doesn’t sing, but serves up a pretty good comedic verse of spoken word as she kicks her man out of the house. Download the song below and let us know what you think.

Kelly penned single “One Day On This Earth.” This new track comes straight from the R&B quintet’s sophomore album, Vacancy, due in stores soon. You also might remember these guys from their BET reality show “Brothers to Brutha,” which was seen by 1.2 – 1.5 million viewers every week. “The show allowed us to create a pretty solid fan base because we had 1.2 to 1.5million viewers every week,” says Jared who brings his love of hip-hop into Brutha’s sound. “But I don’t think the show really showed a lot of our musical side so now it’s time to start focusing more on the music.” While their first album was well received by their fans, Brutha is ready to show the world just how far they have come. Their sophomore album, Vacancy is an intimate reflection of their young, fly and flashy lifestyle. With production from contemporary greats like R. Kelly, Vacancy is a sexy ride in the fast lane told only the way Brutha can. “With our first album, we were new in the game,” says Anthony whose production knowledge enhances the guys’ overall sound. “We didn’t really get a chance to be ourselves. But his time around we have more experience and we are able to be more of ourselves. So it’s more sexual, it’s edgier and that’s who we are.” Take a listen to the new single above and check back tomorrow for the music video, which was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Rage. 10+ pics of Brutha on the set of “One Day On This Earth” with a few album promo pics thrown in below.

Both artists have written songs for the project, which has no title or release date as of yet. Billboard.com has learned that Neil Young, Booker T. Jones, Marc Ribot and Jim Keltner are among the guests who have contributed to the album. According to a post on the Web site of longtime Elton collaborator Bernie Taupin, 15 songs have already been put to tape, "from Stones-like rockers, country-tinged ballads, gospel and even a Sinatra-like weepy similar to something torn from the grooves of 'In the Wee Small Hours.'"
