Watch the video below and see for yourself: At the time, this was one of the best presentations of pop music I had seen since Brit-Brit’s “Toxic,” released two years prior in 2004. Plus, after months of strength conditioning (overseen by her WWE legend father), Brooke showcased her insanely fit physique in the array of skin-baring ensembles she wore for the three-minute and 18-second clip. Not only did Brooke’s vocals shine on “About Us,” it’s accompanying visual proved that girlfriend could slay complicated choreography that would make Britney, Janet Jackson, Madonna, or any other dancing queen proud. This was evident as Brooke prepared to film the music video for the album’s lead single, “About Us,” an urban-inspired banger featuring rapper du jour Paul Wall. I was obsessed with any scene in HKB where I was able to catch a glimpse of a then-teenage Brooke recording in the studio with mid-aughts power producer Scott Storch - who helmed another pop opus, Paris Hilton’s self-titled 2006 LP - because, if I was lucky enough, I’d hear 30 blessed seconds of a yet-to-be-released song off Undiscovered.Īlthough Brooke had already released her first single, “Everything to Me,” in 2004, its pop-rock vibe (à la Ashlee Simpson or Avril Lavigne) failed to resonate with an audience - and seemed despairingly inauthentic compared to the R&B-infused dance-pop that laced Undiscovered’s 14-song track list.
