Soulife remix

In 2006, a remix version of "Heard It All Before" featuring fellow R&B singer Brandy was leaked onto the internet. The duet was recorded during a session when producer Mike City was working with both singers in 2001 but remained unused.[1] In March 2016, City released a high quality version of the duet to his SoundCloud account.[1]
