I really enjoyed the interview! She sounds grounded and measured but not PC.
I'm a different type of Brandy fan. I enjoy her as a whole not solely as a singer, so she's done a okay job keeping me entertained until she releases. I haven't cared about charts since Afro. Sonically I'm never concerned because I'm always floored by her artistry. Her image is what consistently irks me. I can handle her breaks because I can sit with her albums for extended periods, which i cant do with other female singers projects. I honestly don't think I could handle a new Brandy album every year, I just need that time.
What I will say is that she has to find a way to get her base adjusted to how she moves and speaks today. It's def different, but I was far more irritated by the humble baby Bran mess. I welcome the petty, unfiltered Brandy. I don't think it's done any damage to the general audience , but she's put a bad taste in some (a small amount) of her die hard fans mouth. So fans have become less invested, which isn't good before any release.
