Release more than just 2 singles. We've been getting just 2 singles since Full Moon.
I'm still upset Do You know & Let Me Go wasn't singles.
Check and read through every contract, thoroughly. It's not up to anyone else to do so lol that's all, really

!!!!!!!!!! No one is gonna push harder for you than YOU. Thats just the bottom line. I dont agree with some points in this article. Two Eleven was a GREAT album. Im not here for that. :uhh:
The simple solution is just make good music and be REAL! The love for "B&P" is exactly how everyone should feel for EVERY song on this next album.
I'm so ready. Bran has something up her sleeve she ain't telling us yet!

I dont see if for Let IT GO as a single.
But If Done right and at the right time Warm It Up may have done some damage. I just get mad that they didnt release it and shop it to companies for sponsorship.
Campbells Soup
Dunkin Dounuts
etc
Someone should send this to her
Warm it up could've been a nice heal the world mess.
True shoulda been released and I think Torn Down would do ok
Interesting/good article. Tho not agreed with Wildest dreams being the stand out track of 2/11, no man, lol
Warm It Up was perfect to release during that time. Music wasn't as dancy and trap then. I wish her team would've took a few pages from Bey and made Human an Iconic era for Bran. 2008 was the perfect time to solidify status.

This would've been the perfect 2nd single on Human!
No shade, but Human was just doomed on arrival. Nothing else on the album, besides the first two singles, were hit worthy.
Do You Know >>>>>
Had "DYK" been releases as a second single.... that album would have lasted so much longer.
We would have got a third single ... which I think would have been "without you "..... but Do you know would have definitley got her another hit.

Definitely!
DYK woulda been a SMASH on urban radio.
Without You woulda slayed all radio!
Yall keep saying had DYK was released blah blah but they could've released it all they want. If it didn't accompany marketing coins it would've still turned out the same way.
Wam It Up with Love was not a hit, guys.....
Both two eleven and human didn't have the best singles or songs when you compar them to the other albums.
I still love so sick tho
Chose the right producers

marketing coin like money for a video and performances?
Cuz the money she put into the WD and touring, a lil bit coulda been spent on DYK.
Some songs sell themselves and I do think DYK woulda been one of those songs esp coming up off PID

!!!!!!!! But Without You would've flopped. I would've came right back with Slower as 3rd single for another quick radio smash. Maybe even a remix mess with Trey Songz or Chris Brown again. I could see it giving a It Wont Stop mess. If something is finally working, dont switch it up.

We WERE the marketing. What marketing coins did PID or the entire Two Eleven project have in general? :dead: If the song is a hit, its just a damns HIT. Do You Know had potential to be as big or BIGGER than PID. Wildest clearly just didnt have it in ha.

Brandy just needs to be consistent and take responsibility for her own career.
Let Me Go, Warm It Up With Love, Do You Know What You Have...these are all songs that would've done well at radio. regardless of how Brandy's fans feel about them as songs, they were potential radio hits.
I don't know what Brandy's team is thinking when they pick singles.

I was upset all these 30+ gorls really thought Let Me Go was ever a contender for a single :sevynstreeter:
I'm sorry Two Eleven's SOLE problem was the top-heavy promotion. You 90s girls consistently continue to promote only during the first week, instead of how y'all used to do.
you gotta release hit after hit . make them buy your shit. that't what sets you guys struggle katy, bey, all of em. release multiple singles.
yeah they have bigger budget but if you know your budget is limited, stretch that shit out. sprinkle some here and there and make the label sign a contract that says they will allow you X amount of singles before you release the project.

me too Let Me Go was too busy sounding for radio
LMG would've FLOPPED.
I dont see Let me go flopping more than Wildest dreams. I liked the song since the very 1st listen and heard potential in it.
With a dope video and performances here and there, it could have had a decent run, not #1 hit, but.... just more promo for the album, just like PID, tho that had Chris Brown.

Right. LMG did have more potential than most songs on the album, and it would capitalize of the same audience as PID. But, yeah, DYK should've been the second single, though.
I agree with this article
DYK, Let Me Go then Wish Your Love away should've been follow up singles
:stressed:
First and Love and Piano Man should've folowed Departed
:loose2when:
Afrodisiac should've been the second single too
:fuming: :fuming: :fuming: :fuming: :fuming:
This Warm It Up thing is kind of out of the blue. I've never even heard anyone mention they'd wanted it as a single. I don't think anything could've saved that album. It was a good album, but it didn't really have radio hits.
great article but I believe a team is what makes an artist. Artists nowadays (especially rnb) need to hire at least one SANE fan because they could bring in helpful marketing tactics. It wouldn't be a Selena case only and only if u tell that the person is sane. But I believe that is the only way to sustaining a great album era. Yeah I believe the saying, "No one will go hard for you, than you". But there are ppl who will go hard for you and they most def need to be in your camp. Anybody on this site would be a great addition to Brandy's team. Silent doesn't really have any great ideas and I don't really think he get's it. But just my small observation
just let the woman do her! sick of everybody and they momma playin a&r.

who said piano man
"Fall" had the biggest hit potential on Human.
Two Eleven, that record, I just... "Slower" was cute I guess. DYK coulda done sth. because of Mike Will.
I however would have dragged Frank Ocean out of the woods to do a duet mess.
piano man is HOTTT as i said .. it has a similar sounding beat to ushers love in the club ..
i actually got to get played in the club once.. it sounded HOTT

Keep pushing even if the label doesn't.
man, I forgot 100% Fall and 1st and love!
yeah, those songs had the most potential. I remember loving them when they leaked. The album didnt have "HIT" songs to me. Piano man was interesting, but.... it lacked 'something'. Never felt Warm it up, it was different, but something was off to me. well, the beat, too repetitive to my taste, I never heard it a lot.
Shatterred heart was the stand out to me when I listened to the full album.

1st n luv slays
1st N Love was/is epic
1st and SHIT was disgusting on first listen tbh
Wtf man
Warm It Up>>>>
But as a single no
Omg, just remembered I did some simple videos with Human songs, imagining how the song would feel with a visual.
Damm, a label blocked my 1st and love short clips :-(
but look this, lol. it was a quick experiment with another Bran video, see :-D
I wanted to see how a urban set would fit with the song, seeing it now kind of makes me change my mind regarding the song being a single. It could have worked
The two single trend is absolutely tragic.

I still love it but I get where you're coming from. Rodney was biting Polow hard with that beat and we know Polow shit sounds dated now.
My only complaint has always been inconsistent/underwhelming visuals and not pushing more than two singles.
