She sounds like she's trying to push a little harder on this vocal can't wait to hear the full
Sorry but this vocal is nasally.
And Sikora sucks. :hmph:
this ain't it sy' bby

!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry but Sikora graphics are so basic... and Sy'rai needs to find a producer who can give her a sound
'Rai needs to release this. Not this winter ballad mess
Oh, and Sikora's photography is disgusting.
Why tf isn't Bran somewhere perched with Blair Caldwell? :uhh:
I am so confused on the direction of Sy'rai as an artist...time and time again
Is she really pursuing this as a career? One single every 3 years that sounds completely different and singing thru her nose....what is going on y'all?
I already expressed what direction I think she should go in that works for her voice

Blair does her okay to me (I loved a few of those b&w photos) but its nothing extraordinary....they don't take risk. Its so many other great well-known and upcoming photographers that I want Bran to work with....I really want her in high fashion

Bran will resonate so well in high fashion with her unique beauty but she clearly doesn't care
She sings downe but her voice is too thin and nasally for me
This doesn't sound good to be honest
She's a bit too nasal for me.
She's kinda.. Yelping too much lol
She could stand to sing darker and more full
Also don't really think this is a good song to release. She should just release an EP or album at this point
Always excited to hear her and see her release though seeing as brandy is retired from music
princess is still growing
And coming into her own
:flamebroiled: :gorlonfire: :flamebroiled:
I wish Brandy didn't care about a proper roll out for music.
Wish we could have multiple EPs a year.

Bran is helping and approving and it doesn't sound good....I actually would prefer if she did do it on her own.
Its scary b/c as brilliant as Bran is, Rodney and Shawn really were the shapers of her sound and vocal potential....I need someone to yank her and push her
Bran may have a hand in Sy'rai material, but this is giving Sonja.
:uhh: I cringe everytime I think about Sonja telling Bran that she needs a ballad as her first single on A Family Business

I agree actually. Brandy has one of my favorite voices of all time but when she's left to her own devices in the studio or has a basic producer like DJ Camper very little greatness comes from it. She has no business leading anybody else musically and that's just me being honest. Show Sy'Rai the ropes vocally and let her work with young folks or sumn idk
I was just listening to Nothing Without You. Would love another Disney duet by she and her mom.
I can't wait to buy this newest single by her. Brandy really did such a good job with her. She goes to school, does her music, and never appears to be caught up in no mess.

Me as well, but since she is done with personal music maybe she will be doing more soundtrack songs. Her versatility always makes her soundtrack songs hit.
Ready to hear what her ear picks up for like a Marvel movie fight scene. The tone (s), approach, and textures she would use & how she would interpret the production and arrangement for such a scene.
Even how would she breathe in a song like that lol. The breathing she does on Focus still is the best part of the song. It aligns with the lyrics.
Why the hell are y'all are saying Bran is done with music? I can't see her just being done with music. It's only been 4 years since B7 and less than 6 months for the Christmas album :hmph:

why
Syrai sing very average to me but I admire her effort and her desire to learn more and I loved that first single but no
I honestly don't think Brandy fans are the best audience for her music. She has to find her own people which I believe she will.
Vocally she can stand next to Sza, Summer, Muni, Jhene, Normani, and a couple others. She just needs to find a sound that doesn't keep her mother in mind. Trying to be the next Brandy will do her no favors

she's undoubtedly a talented vocalist, though i haven't heard an offering from her that would put her in the same category as some of those gors you mentioned.
but i don't even think it's an issue of her catering to bran fans. her song choices are just genuinely awful imo. i know the gors are saying bran is involved, so i'm thinking the ghans are right when they say bran just doesn't have that producer's ear. maybe syrai is the same and just needs a dope producer like bran had
Rai has an excellent ear for harmonies, but her leads are lacking. I would put her on the level of a teen Disney girl or a cast member on glee. She needs to learn to emote well and be more present on a track to be considered an artist. She's far too vanilla. But I've liked a lot of the songs I've heard from her because she does sound like brandy...and she tends to have this early 2000s flair that comes from her relation to her mom and the fact that she loves her mom's music
I think as far as pure skill she could stand next to a summer walker, and there are similarities actually. But as boring as summer seems and weird as she is, she has something special. It's more than just the sad girl lyrics
I'm probably gonna get banned for this but I don't like her voice at all. The backgrounds vocals sound good but it's something about her voice I don't like. IMO she just sounds off key but also you can tell can sing too. Idk but this is no disrespect to her. Just saying.....

Even if she releases an album it's gonna be the same routine...
the lip syncing, the backtracks, the stale videos, stale performances, Frank Gatson and his dated ideas, wack Sikora, lame Camper, over produced vocals...
It will take an act of divine intervention for there to be some kind of fresh and vibrant energy around another project.

I was just going through her non-album releases over the past 4 years and she really has dropped a lot of material. Plus, bc of her ear and the fact that she is an interpretative singer each song is a different vocal experience.
I was thinking that she doing what she is supposed to. Be rich and do what she wants in life and work when she feels like it.

I agree. She can sing but Idk why she's choosing to sing in this nasally pitch. There was a song she previewed a few weeks ago where she wasn't singing like that.
Really pretty girl
'Rai's voice has time to mature. She's only 21.
But yes, she doesn't sing nasally and with a white valley gorl accent. I appreciate how confident she is in her upper register(I wish Bran was this confident)

I just hollered real loud in my basement
Syrai just isn't a vocalist and it's no shade. Brandy likes to
Talk a lot of shit about us on this board but facts are facts and the facts remain and I really hope she sees this ..... I would hate for Brandy to he dishonest with her about her true abilities and have someone else, who is far more critical tell her the truth. Ain't no hope for Syrai to achieve Brandy's levels of success as a musician if Ray couldn't do it she sure as hell can't she just don't have that and it's okay we all have different gifts. Her weight loss is truly inspirational and she's very intelligent. She's gorgeous. She could do anything. But vocally and
artistically it's a chop. She better be glad that first single was halfway decent cuz eeeeeeek

this makes me more upset ...there we go with another 4 year dfghjklm and the next album aint even started yet xqsfghjkl
The Christmas album was a lil yanyanyan round the house. Sis wasn't activated at all
It's crazy, these days I go to old throw away songs I don't even really like (like the one she did with her fam for A Family Business) and Brandy used to sound so alive on the tracks. She was truly emoting

She looks so much like a doll. Simply stunning.
I will be streaming on Friday. I wish Brandy would go get a real publicist to promote her and Sy'Rai's music better.
Why are they mishandling her career like that?

oh GIRL....
What is going on with the Norwoods... She should at least be connected with good writers and producers. Her voice is not the best, but she could definitely make some kind of splash... Like, who is going to be playing this song? Over there wasting time and money.

The way "I Don't Care" would've ate on Human
It's Ok.I don't know how to explain it.She's talented but IDK.Maybe better in a group.
The best way I can describe Rai's voice is childish. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star teas. Then she sings in her LA accent. Not pleasing to the ear.
Yeah this isn't a good song by any means.. The way she's singing it, the style. The production is actually ok
I actually like Syrai's voice. I think it's very pretty, it's the material for me. You have to know what works for you. This song is not for her (I don't think this song is for anybody tbh). The 'On My Own' song was cute but corny and kinda Disney-ish imo. The 'At Your Best' cover was the last thing that I really liked. I think she'll figure herself out eventually.
I actually like this. Guess I'll be the outlier.
She's kinda EMOTING and I think her tone fits. It's almost like she's crying
I wasn't a fan of the snippet, but I'll give it a listen

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND SUPPORT RAI. THIS IS SO KENISHA PRATT-ISH!
:stressed:
ALSO SOUNDS A BIT INSPIRED BY BERANDY'S "BYE BIPOLAR" :flamebroiled:
To be honest her voice is just not it
She doesn't have Brandy's voice but she's still singing on this song. The high notes where she goes into head voice are all sounding nice and the high note runs at the end are nice too. Did she break up with her boyfriend she had?? Sounds like it from this song
It's okay.
Her voice is okay.
I think they need to craft songs to fit her voice.
Wish her voice had a bit more heaviness to it.
Looking forward to the next release.
