More more more. Now that she owns all of her masters and writes so much of the music, I'm praying she'll start just dropping shit all over her YouTube page

There are no rules she needs to follow. Not anymore

To put things into context, The Guardian gave Full Moon 3/5.

Rolling Stones gave Full Moon 2/5 and Never Say Never 3/5. Afro got 4/5. Looking 4wd to see what their final rating is for B7.

I get that, but idk I guess I expected more commentary about her voice, the choices, etc oh well. It's no big.

I did particularly like what Robert Glasper and Joe Budden said.

B7 is a watershed moment for the singer-songwriter. The album beams with the certitude of a woman very much aware of who she is and how she wants to communicate this ethos. In the R&B genre where some of its purveyors are occasionally susceptible to the siren call of artifice and theatrics, Brandy sidesteps manufactured drama and goes for music imbued with heart and technical prowess.

yeah, Brandy's loves to rap also. I wanted her to rap on the album, and she did it! This album is what I wanted from her. I had to go into "unreleased Brandy" mode. I took off the R&B ears (which I expected because of the singles), and really listened to the album, and it's FIRE! She finally released experimental stuff!  :feelinmyself:

QuoteOverall, B7 is a luxurious musical gift with consistency and experimentation working hand in hand to deliver a sensual, momentous experience that shimmers and glistens with thoughtfulness, care and etherealness throughout. If you're looking to recreate the experience of a live set in isolation, this album might be the next best thing.

6.8/10

QuoteThe "vocal bible" of pop R&B returns with her first album in eight years, sounding poised and warm but lacking some spark.

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/brandy-b7/

It finally has 4 official reviews meaning B7 is gonna be on Metacritic sometime later today

Lol the "Ed" person on this podcast is so cringe. Just because you experience something before others doesn't make you an authority on it lol.

I'm not. The album is amazing and doesn't throw people off when you first listen to it the way B7 does.

I think people were expecting typical R&B, but Brandy didn't do that and I Iove it! I was thrown off when I first listened too because of the R&B singles.

Lemonade was cool. I liked a few songs, mainly the singles. The visuals made it better for me but tbh I haven't listened to it in 4 years.

I enjoyed "Everything Is Love" more than Lemonade.

The quality of Lemonade
Lyrics, production, different styles yet cohesive 
totally different level...but a lot of albums can't compare to it so no worries
