Guess who’s back in the mutha mutha house? The object of staunch fans affections of female vocalists that are 90′s babies — Monica Vs. Brandy.

Monica’s new album New Life comes out next month, and she’s already stirring up the pot with this debut of a brand new single from the two vocal ingenues that blew up the 90′s radio charts. After “The Boy Is Mine” became a smash hit for the both of them a decade ago, they’ve reteamed as they are both enjoying careers on the up-tick once again (Brandy, especially). However, this time Rico Love handles the boards and they deliver a sure-to-stir-debate smash of a song in the form of “It All Belongs To Me”.

While I think the lyrical depth of the song is severely lacking, it’s not hard to hear that both of these women are singing for their lives in this new joint. “It All Belongs To Me” is nothing more than a song of reclamation aimed towards the dude they were both previously fighting over (so to speak). The music itself isn’t nearly as catchy as the Darkchild-helmed “The Boy Is Mine”, but new fans of the two won’t hate this song, old fans should be able to appreciate the vocal prowess of the two women, and radio should find something to play other than Ke$ha and Adele.

As the age old debate continues as to who is the “better” singer, I’m going to continue to firmly be on Team Brandy. However, Mo’ does some of the best singing I’ve heard from her in a while on this joint. I’d say that singing with Brandy once again made her step her game up — what do you think? With Brandy working on a new joint, there is still another chapter in this saga yet to be revealed, but at the end of the day, we’re all winners because talent is talent and there isn’t enough of it around anymore like there was back in the 90′s…
