QuoteI grew up loving Imogen Heap and Bjork. And one of my favourite female voices to this day is Alanis Morissette. Those voices really did something for me, growing up to me they sounded like cognac and cigar smoke, they had these cool tones that worked well with rock and alternative music. As far as what I do organically, I just go in and whatever feels good, feels good I don?t force it. Leads and adlibs are cool but my favourite thing to do when I?m in the studio is backgrounds. I can go on and on for days, there?s this sense of peace and chanting. Like an army of bad motherfuckers always behind me, like a 1000 people in believing me and 1000 people behind me every time doing these counter chants which are so African, so Creole and so New Orleans.
People want so badly for there to be Brandy-isms. I didn?t know about Brandy until college, I didn?t grow up on Brandy, I grew up on Bjork and Imogen Heap. So there was no influence but I respect her. I think she?s one of the dopest singers we?ve ever had in our time. When I found out about her through my brother, I was like this girls voice is on a whole other level so the respect of Brandy is definitely there. She to me is the vocal bible, but I don?t necessarily take her style or influence into my music. I don?t think of Brandy when I think of the formatting of my music and I think it?s funny that only black people think that.

The Bj?rk influence in "Been A While" is pretty obvious.

There is more to that interview, where she praises Brandy too. But many people ignore that part
But yeah, saying she didnt hear Brandy in her childhood, with Brandy being that huge in the 90s, I mean.... come on Dawn, lol. I get that she dislike to be compare, but... at least understand people's point, and just appreciate it, and call it a day

This is old. We already lashed her worse than Hurricane Katrina did.

Fancy! Out the box!
Why are you guys so obsessed with whether or not Bran is an influence on her?
I mean...she constantly praises Bran...what more do you guys want?
is that enough?
let the girl be. shit.
She got lashed for this nearly 3 years ago
But I can see why it would annoy her because people flat out say she steals from bran and blah blah. People aren't very kind with the comparisons, so that may be why. I don't have a problem with dawn anymore. It's whatever
She sounds shady. Brandy was literally everywhere. n

Just because you didn't grow up on Bran (which is quite bizarre must I say, I mean I live in a village in Europe and I knew who she was in 1998), doesn't mean you won't use her style of singing on albums like welcome to the dollhouse. Or solo albums released after that.. She's defending herself too much. First she praised bran and then she just started to get weird about it.
What do black people have to do with it? Is dawn trying to say they like to keep bitching abou it? maybe because they're more familiar with the R&B artists they can put your style in context? I mean.. It's so obvious to me. The Brandyisms are there. It doesn't really matter if a black or white ear listens to it.
