Exalt ha!
So they must have made up cuz Rodney has never given Bran this much credit
Praise her!!
Quote from: RAY7 on June 12, 2025, 01:32:47 PMSo they must have made up cuz Rodney has never given Bran this much credit
They have both always mutually respected each other, but Brandy really hurt his ego after Human,....he has probably let it all go by now but I think he's low key trying to promote the tour also
I feel like Bran was very harsh on him after "Human". When she made the comment that Rodney didn't give her his best and that's why she was upset, she shoulda let her ARTIST come out and voice this while in the studio and help steer the project. You can't record a whole album, release it and THEN complain about what was given to you. Where were you when it was being created? Why did you even complete recording if you hated it? But I hope they truly did work things out.

Right, Brandy believed in the project before it was released, then when it flopped....it was all Rodney's fault, the least she could have done was blame him privately not publicly
My God! :stressed:

She probably used him as a scapegoat after the sales came in.

this is true. However throughout the years he kind of barely acknowledges her when the first 2 albums they did together are a huge part of his success
Also he has always seemed very controlling of her. He was mad that in addition to working with Rodney on Human she also worked with Toby Gad, Brian Kennedy, Bruno Mars etc
He always wants to be the only person she works with for her albums.
They have a love/hate relationship and truly I think they smashed or they were going to but she got with his cousin instead and that's what messed everything up

you could be right, their relationship has seemed weird ever since his cousin knocked up Brandy
I hope they work together again soon just to hear what they come up with.
Timbaland is creating AI music, Darkchild is my only hope :dead: like I would love to hear another collaboration.
:plzstop: Yeah they def made up given this .. bran is such a professional
I think the Brandy/Darkchild era has sailed on at this point. I don't want to hear a dated 2000s mess from them. What was the last song from him that popped? I couldn't tell you.
I would like for Bran to work with a few different current and relevant producers. A Kaytranada song would be dope.

darkchild is one of the few pre 2000's producers that hasn't gotten late with the production. In recent years he's done Shirt for SZA & Playing Games for Summer Walker in terms of HITS. Two songs Brandy would eat

The story about how "The Boy Is Mine" came about changes every time it's told 😂.
I thought it was Brandy idea to put Monica on the record and that she called her. Now they dislike each other before the record 😂
I would love Brandy and Rodney collaborating again. Long as it's not dated I'm here for it. He made Brandy voice shine fr.

I think Rodney started feeling some type of way when Bran got pregnant with his cousin's baby. Rodney loved that girl.
They could really unite and create another solid R&B project.
Rodney's current productions(last 3 years) have been decent/solid.
This for example:

That's true. The whole album was changed.
I remember brandy was doing some appearance somewhere when she was doing those kyte videos and they were playing the album in the store and they played drum life and some other Tim produced songs but it was eventually left off with a lot of timbalands production. Prolly one of the worst mistakes for that album
I remember Brandy was working with the Neptunes before Human was released.
I wonder what they came up with.

They keep following and unfollowing each other on Instagram. So childish.

Quote from: rosone1 on June 18, 2025, 06:16:38 PMLet me go give Lucid Dreams another chance.
Completely agree I so hated it at first actually I hated the whole album..initially.. especially Saving All My Love the way she approach some of these songs is very unusual strange and abstract and she had said that in an interview once so you hate it at first but bitch once you get into it....it could take years.. that's why I think this might be her last album and she said that she would approach it that way because it's so difficult to understand vocally and in every other way.
I thought it was just me.Everyone seemed to love it.As soon as I hear the water and those snaps, skip :plzstop:

It did but glad we at least got a COLORS performance of it. Should've been the 1st single out the gate after the radio success of Love Again
I grew to really love Lucid Dreams ( even the Michael Jackson Heeeeeee) and it was probably her most honest song.
them working together again is not needed. shiz is the bigger component of that trio & the one she was the closes to. brandy's genius & ear is her's alone. but shiz being her hype man/believing in her is crucial piece & she admitted such.
i wonder how the studio reacted when she started doing that haunted ghostly angel in disguise vocals when she recorded it.
i know she was gagged when she did the build up to the bridge & tone changes on wytm. she did his arrangement justice.
the backstory on unconditional oceans is needed. the vocals match the lyrics & production.
