Vocally Bran is the best ever. It is the production, the beats, timing. She deserved better. It is not about wanting the same Bran but seeing all this potential and amazing moments go to waste. But maybe B7 is just a start, I hope so. So yeah maybe she needs to talk to Drake or Timbaland for a next album. But I'm glad everyone found at least 1-2 tracks they really love.I agree.I'm dealing with this feeling a bit as well but I think the best approach is to accept her art as it is. Sure, it's a little rough production-wise, but that's where she is/was at. It's easier to be at peace and enjoy when you let go of the expectations. Not saying it's easy, cuz they still pop up for me. But I'm able to appreciate it more now that I'm not worrying about Pamper and what he shoulda did.Yeah let me give this some time and shut up for now

The only thing I would change about B7 is the mixing on some songs and toss High Heels. Everything else is perfect and I%u2019m tf PLEASED I actually really like HH The production gives me Aaliyah downe. And Sy'rai is killin. Mixing obviously coulda been better but I've made that point already so imma drop it It's growing on me. I forsee Borderline becoming a top song of mine, period. It gives me fall/Halloween teas and I love that vibe.I actually love the lyrics to HH and Sy%u2019rai sounds amazing, but the song itself is physically hard for me to take I think it%u2019s because the rest of the album does have this very atmospheric vibe...it%u2019s kinda jarring jumping into HH. I kinda cringe.And yeah....I knew last year that Borderline was gonna be incredible and she IS.

Quote from: Lee on July 31, 2020, 09:13:32 PMThe way she opens up Borderline literally SHAKES me up. I just tear up. It%u2019s so haunting. Bran knew this was the ONE

And Border is a lot different sounding than I expected from the vocal clips we heard. Much more mellow. I was expecting a mid/ballad knock, kinda like I Tried. But somehow even with subverting my expectations it's quickly becoming one of my favorites

I'm assuming they do not recall her clap back era? The Snapchats? I knew then that something wasn't right. To see her in this space now and working through her healing just makes me so...
