Brandy is lending her voice to the iconic theme song for A Different World.
She has put her own spin on the opening credits theme for the Netflix sequel series, which debuts Sept. 24.
"Singing this iconic theme song for A Different World means everything to me," Brandy tells Tudum. "It was one of those shows that I had to watch every time it came on. I remember the song and how it made me feel."
The original series premiered in 1987 and followed a group of students navigating life at the fictional HBCU Hillman College. OG cast member Dawnn Lewis co-wrote the theme, which was originally performed by Aretha Franklin.
“It feels amazing to be a part of the legacy,” Brandy says. “I just hope I can do it as much justice as Ms. Franklin.”
The sequel series follows a new generation at Hillman. It stars Maleah Joi Moon as Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) and Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy).
