Brooke Valentine – “Forever” (Official Music Video)

After a four-year absence, Brooke Valentine returns to the spotlight with new music and a new stage name. Now known simply as B Valentine, the Houston-born singer celebrates the birth of her son on “Forever,” the feel-good lead single from her forthcoming sophomore album.

“A lot of fans have been asking where I have been,” she says. “You know, I’ve been singing since I was 12 years-old; so by the time songs like ‘Girlfight’ and the Chain Letter album hit, I’d been doing this for quite a while. In this world, you just can’t have all career and no balance. I gave birth to my son London, who I love and adore. He requires a bit more attention than what the average parent has to give to a child.”

Aside from the birth of her son, the singer, best known for her 2005 top 20 smash “Girlfight” featuring Lil Jon and Big Boi, says her time away from the industry was her chance to live life. “I’d been fighting to be released from the deal with Virgin Records. I was no longer in love with the industry and with the politics that go with it. I needed a break. I needed to live life,” Brooke says. “But I want my fans to know, though, that I never fell out of love with music or creating it. I was always appreciative of their support and what they have meant to my career.”
