With the current state of sales, Usher flopping, Beyonc? still winning, what do you think Grammy Award Winning Icon BRANDY has to do have a successful or at least decent era whenever she decides to storm thru the music world again?! What should her marketing plan be, image, etc.?! GO!
:lopsided:
This will be gone in 6 hours
Well, she can start by releasing some damn music...

:omgwatshappening:
These are my ideas:
1. Secure a Apple Music deal (She might as well stream her next project maybe a mixtape/pre album first and build a buzz before the actual album that she will like to put up for sale)
2. Link and create a dope story line/visual with a really good video director (I would like for her to have a theme centered around losing close relationships and trying to keep her composure and then have a breaking point, basically what she's goin thru right now... she can really sell the angry black female that had the failed marriage, the betrayal of close friends and the snakes of the business world, very relatable TBH)
3. Solidify a dope image fashion wise - She needs to sell a dark image cuz that's wear she slays the most... she can keep the twists or box braids but styled in a edgy way... she needs a high fashion urban chic look to match and always having dark colors and a dark lip...
4. Be VERY choosey on where she should have live performances... Late Night Shows, MTV Wonderland, etc.
5. Reconstruct her social media and delete all her pics on the gram... only post pics of her slaying in like album packaging, photoshoots, etc., need her to give that "mystery" back for Brandy "the artist"
6. All of it to be packaged and release back to back with no delays to keep the buzz

What did Tyrese do last year to make his alber do well
Maybe she should try that

The next time you have a song like "Do You Know...?" on an album, reach out to Drake, and release it.

I mean at this point who should if ur not a huge name in 2016... But I will still like for her to care about the integrity of her artistry and roll out/plan of projects... I think leaving a dope attempt will speak more volumes & create a great buzz for her musically...

Right!
I'm honestly not worried about how many singles, promo, etc anymore.
At this point I just want the music & maybe a few dope visuals and I'll be happy.
I hope she chooses to be more artistic over commercial this time around.
Can't wait to hear that voice again

I believe her. What black female artists not named Beyonce, Nicki, or Rihanna is selling any albums. Ch. We really shouldn't even WANT Brandy to get caught up and frustrated with that bullshit. We should just want quality music.
i dont give a fuck all i know is that i need more atleast 4 singles with videos.
at this point nobody sells but beyonce, riri, nicki, taylor and gaga.
- 4 singles is a must. If urban acts want better sales, they need a full era during one year at least and with 4 singles, with videos and performances
- A long tour is a must too, not just 10 cities, that wont help any album
- Tv performances are really needed, and during all the era, I know this is really hard, but managements need to find the way
the rest? create a great album, unique, with a concept and great balance of real lytics and a few hot/radio songs
And great visuals obviously. The audience is not here for simple videos anymore. Get more ambitious, and lets see how that works
Key collabs and actual performances with them...
Put it down could've been a top 30 hit if bran and Chris did a billboard music awards performance... that's all I got

Don't even get me started on the failure that was not releasing this song....
I still fume... Such an excellent second single. Urban top 5 at least
Wish your love away as the third single
Hmmm if I was A&R....
I'de suggest Brandy do a one city show, make a event out of it. Make it an NYC type exclusive event for fans (to ensure a hype crowd). I'de focus on mostly her features and Collabs so she can have great roster of guess performers. She should perform 3 new songs.
Then call up VH1 and tell them to televise the event. Same night premiere first video & release song to ITunes. Release totally different song to radio next day.
Do a radio tour promoting new song, while letting the net eat up the other one.
Release only half the album on ITunes (5 songs) and release the others (5-7) on physical release w/ a DVD w/ video and a detailed making of the video & song (to force people to get the physical). Make it a collections item of sorts.
If she really wanted to get fancy have Vh1 sell live album only on their website and her official one.
f These unrealistic dreams, demands and desires belong in your diaries. You're not A&R, so stop trying to play the role--especially, when you don't understand the business. You sound foolish.
Four singles? Four fucking singles? What planet do y'all live on? :uhh:
The Apple/iTunes exclusive release sounds cool. Since she's indie she'll own a larger percentage of its sales.
here we go again with users telling what others should or shouldnt do, without actually staying on topic and answering the damm 1st question, lol.
only on bsource
here we go again with users telling Brandy and her team what they should or shouldnt do without knowing what they are talking about in the 1st place lol

who is telling Brandy?

I only want Brandy to release music she believes in at this point, if it's not something to just tie fans over. I want her to minimize, reduce, if not eliminate regrets or negative retrospective thoughts.
The kind of music isn't as important if she's not catering to radio or looking for a hit. She can make anything sound good, and that's because her voice trancends labels or genres.

smart points. and yeah, if she isnt planning to get radio support or a hit, the genre wont matter, so for this alone, I think she should go out of the r&b box, like..... really OUT. explore new genres, new sounds, something that none can say its "r&b" or "urban music" just for urban radio.
Brandy can do any genre, and she would probably get more fans that way, so....... the ultimate question is: why not? she doesnt have anything to lose

brandy is not going to abandon rnb
Brandy can def make anything sound good but as stated before if her image, visuals and plan for her work is not executed well than its kinda pointless to me.... She's on the right track with caring about her performances/shows but in terms of her eras I need her & her team to care a little bit more and give us something dope to Stan for!
And this 4 single shit is dead at this point... this is why she might as well do a long ass visual with a dope story line with like 4-5 tracks included so everyone can be familiar with those songs to sell her project.... then do one more music video for like the fan fav or "it" song on the album that's prolly has a big feature and gon get radio play...

I didnt mean to abandon rnb, she will always have that side of her, in her own voice and on the actual tours, but I think she's limiting herself focusing on just r&b producers, writers and all. Brandy said she doesnt wanna be put in a box, so.... if she doesnt want that, she can easily explore a whole new territory.
hell, Coldplay is a pop act, and Brandy made her Magic cover which everyone loved, so thats quite telling.
The audience is OPEN for new genres from Bran, she just has to actually go all out. At least for some tracks/singles.
