I listened to the album all weekend and I can honestly say it%u2019s growing on me!...I do hate the mixing tho. How can brandy and her team allow this? Also I need her to start pronouncing her words clear...When people listen to a song they listen to the words they don%u2019t wanna play the guessing game ( lyrics would help ) saving all my love is my shyt but it seems as if they slowed it down or something.
I really think some of that is the mixing. There definitely needed to be someone other than her as EP to mix right. The album is a really good definitely would love a deluxe version and maybe fix the mixing with the bonus songs
it was mixed by one of the top mixers in the business. Jaycen Joshua (sp?) Brandy and camper weren%u2019t just mixing all these songs and/or going the cheap route. I think the mixing was intentional.
I personally heard and understood her fine first listen.
Why would the engineer intentionally mix it poorly? That doesn't make any sense
I think the more likely explanation is that he just didn't give his best effort. A lot of this era has given budget b/c of her indie status, so I'm thinking whoever was responsible didn't pay top dollar for mixing allocations. The quality gives me unreleased/mixtape. Same sound as Freedom Rings. I guess some people are ok w/ that or wanna make excuses but I'm struggling to see why they would choose to make it sound rough on purpose. Like, Aaliyah's "Messed Up" is an example of this similar sound but still mixed very well. So it achieves the intention of being weird/progressive while sounding professionally done.
I'm not trying to piss anyone off but I'm also not gonna color it with roses and rainbows. The art here is beautiful, and there are still areas with room for improvement.
