Title: Brandy's focus ... Is MY favorite song of all time. Ever.
Post by: Bentley! on November 01, 2015, 09:24:15 PM
My LIFE was altered

this holds the record for most consecutive repeats, like....

Let me tell you

in headphones, for 36 fucking hours
this was with NO breaks

I was like in a trance... A different universe, and I would HEAR whispers in this record that I couldn't catch a second time. I swear it's witchcraft, there's some kind of dark sub track underneath this record.

Went to class, walked around, driving, ALL with the headphones in. I tuned everything the fuck out

Like... Brandy  :loose2when:

I need Ghan to get back to wherever her she was when she was making this album. I don't wanna rush an EP or any new music for that matter unless it's along the same caliber.
