Late R&B singer’s recordings to be released next month.

Former TLC member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, who died in a car crash six years ago, will go solo postmortem. A CD of songs that the rapper and background singer recorded for her own album is set for Nov. 11 release.  ”She knew she was going to pass away and it was her plan to get all of this out there so people could learn what she had done,” acquaintance Jay Marose tells AP. “She wanted people to hear it and wanted her family to do whatever they had to do.” Proceeds from Lopes’ solo debut will benefit her foundation in support of orphanages and schools in Honduras, where she died.

In the mid-90s, she told fans, through music, that her brother was her “Best Friend.”  And now Brandy is about to show fans she means what she sings with a collaborative album entitled “R&B” – short for Ray J and Brandy.  The singer, who’s scheduled to released a solo CD titled “Human” on Nov. 11, says the album with her brother is still in the planning the stage, but fans can look to catch her and her brother in records stores and on the small screen within the next few months. Ray J, who currently has out an album titled “All I Feel,” has a new VH1 reality series coming soon to TV similar to the popular show “Flavor Of Love.”
