I am thinking about where my music is going to go next because I did "Somebody's Son" with Tiwa Savage. It was Afrobeat. I love that kind of flavor.

I want to try different things with my music this next go-round, not just stick to R&B. I'm not just R&B, it's more in my core. I want to bring it all out. Whatever else I have left, I just want to give it.

Speaking of new music, have you started the process of recording a new album or project?
I've been thinking about the project that I'm going to do, but I've been filming Queens. That's been taking up all my time since August. All the music I've done on Queens, being able to do music in the studio consistently, it's inspired me to want to get back, right after Queens, to do my own music. It's not going to be no eight-year wait next time. I'm too inspired and too on fire in my spirit. I can't wait.

Fucking iconic  :plzstop:

QuoteI remember just being in Miami, working at the Hit Factory with LaShawn Daniels and Rodney Jerkins. Full Moon was happening on one side. Invincible was happening on the other side. Michael Jackson was in the other studio. I'm in one studio.


Rodney's coming back telling me all of the secrets that I need to do that Michael Jackson is doing. "You need to do this with your stacks. You need to do this kind of harmony this way. This is the Michael Jackson way. If you want to be the greatest, then you better do this."

To get Michael's codes, like what he would do with his backgrounds, how he would stack his backgrounds, and just to get that kind of information from the greatest.

B7 has its value and I've grown to like the album because of how personal it was for her but it lacked in tempo shift honestly.  I know she's capable of giving us more energy while also being able to tell a cohesive story.

Yeah me either, something feels eeh.....like it might be some falalalala round the house type of thing. Like its not actually for an album. I'm sure its proab the Roof remake with some backgrounds which I will still live for

LMAO you always try to make my realistic ass look at the positive. Let me praise MUVA. The album def has its GLORY, it just isn't polished. Now if she had taken out Baby Mama, High Heels, even I AM MORE (I like it but it sounds cheap, esp for an album) and gave us one interlude combined w/ a great vocal mix then we have a winner. Follow the next year with an EP of songs that didn't make the album.....now I'm fed.

It wasn't a perfect era but it was a fruitful and creative one musically IMO, fumbles that u mentioned and all. Following her gut and putting an album out with songs like lucid dreams, Borderline, Rather be, Unconditional, Say Something, No tomorrow (Part 2 ain't on the album thank God) and Love Again, etc. and Immediately following her gut and doing Verzuz >>>>

I can't imagine where she'd be right now if she chose to scrap it and nothing happened afterwards. This board would have tore Queen to shreds

:plzstop:
LMAO you always try to make my realistic ass look at the positive. Let me praise MUVA. The album def has its GLORY, it just isn't polished. Now if she had taken out Baby Mama, High Heels, even I AM MORE (I like it but it sounds cheap, esp for an album) and gave us one interlude combined w/ a great vocal mix then we have a winner. Follow the next year with an EP of songs that didn't make the album.....now I'm fed.
dddssd I get what ur saying, especially when we're used to a certain polished sound. It's funny cuz the main engineer is the same one she used for TwoEleven which tells me she was more intentional about b7 feeling and sounding like the semi indie project that it is. I definitely frowned when on first listen when i heard a couple songs but now it's honest to God a top 3 Brandy album for me, still heavy in my rotation in general.

Fucking iconic  :plzstop:

QuoteI remember just being in Miami, working at the Hit Factory with LaShawn Daniels and Rodney Jerkins. Full Moon was happening on one side. Invincible was happening on the other side. Michael Jackson was in the other studio. I'm in one studio.


Rodney's coming back telling me all of the secrets that I need to do that Michael Jackson is doing. "You need to do this with your stacks. You need to do this kind of harmony this way. This is the Michael Jackson way. If you want to be the greatest, then you better do this."

To get Michael's codes, like what he would do with his backgrounds, how he would stack his backgrounds, and just to get that kind of information from the greatest.




The fact you can hear the influence on It's Not Worth It and Come A Little Bit Closer was evident....the first one I mentioned was my fave on the album and I wanted it to be a single so bad

I hate how Brandy talks about R&B sometimes, like there's something wrong with having an R&B album. I think that's why B7 feels flat to me. The second half of the album isn't as strong as the first half, and that's the more experimental half.

No way we should've gotten Baby Mama from her when her "baby" is old enough to have her own child. Meanwhile songs like "Rather Be", "Say Something" and "Lucid Dreams" were right there.

And don't even get me started on the missed opportunity for "Do you know" and "Wish your love away" from TE.

Her most relatable/successful songs that resonate with people are R&B. She is the vocal bible but she doesn't know hits.

I think I've noticed her saying it more when making B7. "It's not too r&b, not too soul, not too pop, it's something for everyone". I'm not too sure if she knows who exactly her audience is. So she kinda casts a wide net when describing the music.

Truthfully speaking she's been talking about doing country music since she left Atlantic. So it's time she got it out of her system, she should do more genre bending songs similar to how she did them on "full moon". That would be a easy way of dipping into other genres while still staying in her core rnb roots.

I don't think it's fair to say she doesn't know her audience. I believe she does and it explains a lot about her process. Me as a Stan believe her voice is too unique to just do straight rnb songs, I wanna hear her cover almost every genre, collaborate with unusual artists, and truly showcase her voice like a instrument (not in the conventional way).

Brandy seems confused, she said before the human album that she found a new way to use her voice, then when it flopped, she blamed Darkchild for making a pop album and said her roots were R&B, when she tried r&b with 2/11 and it flopped even harder, she took a long break and then came out with the experimental B7, she seems like she doesn't know what direction to take with her music....just trying everything looking for a hit

Brandy fanbase is very diverse and people like her for many different reasons.  Most of the time her fans come off ungrateful and make her feel like what she put out wasn't enough! Prime example is her being on live just months after dropping B7 and people were asking for more music LMAO. The way she and guy she was on Live with handle it spoke volumes to me.

This is why I say I don't think she knows her audience. "Love Again" was a WIN for her. People were reminded of the Brandy they fell in love with. But she wouldn't have done that song on her own. Then the next song we get is "Baby Mama"? Who is the audience for that? No one 20+ is singing anything positive about being a baby momma. I think her fan base is so eclectic, we all love her and fell in love with her for different reasons. I think mentally that boxes her in when creating because she's trying to find what's right for her and the people who understand why she's the vocal bible.

Just look at Verzuz. Nearly all of the songs she played were R&B. It's just strange to see her desire to shy away from that. At the very least if you're trying new genres work with the people who are successful in that genre.

b7 is not just R&B though (to me) and she said this during the entire era and promo of the album in 2020 in all those zoom interviews

I watched every interview. She's always dabbled in every genre and expression and it's not like she's shitting on R&B based on what she said. I'm not really understanding some of the comments in here but everyone's entitled to their opinion and interpretations.  She doesn't really say much at all so i can see why people take what she says and run with it in general (not directed at you or anyone in here).

I'm actually glad she isn't pandering like she used to as if she owes something to the R&B genre at this point.  She once said that Usher earned the right to explore other genres back in 2011 or so as if she hadn't and that's just BS. She can do whatever she wants musically and im happy to see her speaking to that. She's not a Keke Wyatt, Ledisi or Angie Stone kinda girl. Brandy been doing a myriad of things with a million different vocal approaches in that studio.

These interviews ain't saying anything new to me other than maybe her being more expressive about it

*shrug*

I would love for Bran stop explaining her music and just do it and let us judge lol
!!!!  I think she doesn't explain it much or at all as much as she should, actually. She did way more talking and pandering during the TwoEleven era the girls be going up for IMO

Mariah and Brandy are literally the masters of studio recording. We always talk about live vocal this and that, but, mastering what they've mastered ain't easy either. A singers singer, they are.

Funny though because during 2/11 era she kept saying that she was finally being true to her R&B roots and that's what she should stay doing. This talk about her branching out is actually new for her
b7 is not just R&B though (to me) and she said this during the entire era and promo of the album in 2020 in all those zoom interviews

I watched every interview. She's always dabbled in every genre and expression and it's not like she's shitting on R&B based on what she said. I'm not really understanding some of the comments in here but everyone's entitled to their opinion and interpretations.  She doesn't really say much at all so i can see why people take what she says and run with it in general (not directed at you or anyone in here).

I'm actually glad she isn't pandering like she used to as if she owes something to the R&B genre at this point.  She once said that Usher earned the right to explore other genres back in 2011 or so as if she hadn't and that's just BS. She can do whatever she wants musically and im happy to see her speaking to that. She's not a Keke Wyatt, Ledisi or Angie Stone kinda girl. Brandy been doing a myriad of things with a million different vocal approaches in that studio.

These interviews ain't saying anything new to me other than maybe her being more expressive about it

Ledisi and Angie Stone are neo-soul not R&B. There's a difference.  It's her need to consistently say she's more than R&B. Pop stars don't say they're more than Pop stars. It's weird. Which goes to my point, Jazmine, Jhene, summer walker, HER, etc. These are some of the leading R&B girls and they're out here building fan bases and getting radio play. I agree Brandy's voice and technique is beyond but please let's not act like Brandy put ANY other genre on her VERZUZ playlist. Because whoever helped her knew what people wanted to hear. Brandy can sing anything she wants. But it's all about execution.

You make great points, i just think you're taking her comments a bit too seriously, that's all.  She made this comment for like 30 seconds and moved on. No need to compare her to the new girls although what they're doing in R&B is admirable.  It's not as if Brandy is going to abandon her signature  :dead:  she may not ever sale or stream the way they do again and that's fine. She's also done things they can only dream of doing in this day and age and that's ok too.  Her biggest hits being R&B and played during a verzuz actually speaks to what she's saying lol she doesn't have to focus on that anymore. Not in that way.

And yea, Brandy has never been good at describing her music or what's to come, in general. Even the Full moon and Afrodisiac interviews  :kii: you'd never know she went in there and created a masterpiece based on those basic interviews. It's the music that speaks IMO - I'd rather be in the studio with her to see how she creates and hear it before i ever sit down and listen to her talk about it. That's never been her thing so i take these lil tidbits with a grain of salt in that sense. It's something you just gotta hear and either u fuck with it or don't IMO, it's a gift and a curse but i've been more than satisfied the last two years or so.

Well she is more than r&b. The proab with Bran is that all her experimental/pop mess mostly ends up unreleased and I'm sure half of it is due to her and the other half due to industry politics. IDK why she doesn't just put out a series of small projects/ep's that cater to different sounds/parts of her voice and musicality. If she isn't looking for a hit then idk why she doesn't just do that.

Taking forever to record an album and looking for a cohesive sound is just not the way to go anymore unless ur dropping back to back. I'd love to hear her collaborate with Frank Ocean again and see what they come up with, esp after his sound took off and in a new direction after she really worked with him (she never works with artist at their peak point besides Monica, ugh). I want her in that Magic, Melancholy, Rather Be, Sweet Nothings pocket.
