Title: I've always wondered why Bran took 4 years in between NSN & FM
Post by: GLOCK on September 06, 2015, 07:03:37 PM
 :uhh:
Who's idea was that?
I feel like I missed a special part of her voice
When she was transitioning into a full fledged womah..
Barely any performances... In the early 2000's Or anything vocally ...
I wonder what she gave

She was performing through 1999 still promoting NSN, and Full Moon came out in 2002. She also did Open from Osmosis Jones soundtrack in 2001. Her voice didn't change much between then.

Full Moon was originally scheduled to be released November 2001

"Open" was actually the very first voice transformation. "Another Day In Paradise" as well..which came out in March 2001?

yea i feel like we still missed out on something special as well

her voice changes every 2 seconds, even now :dead: so i can only imagine. FM and Afro was like less than a 2 years difference and she STILL switched it up. ugh who else can say that

Yeah, "Open" was originally supposed to be the third single off of the soundtrack as well as the first single off of the album. But those plans were scrapped.

I could've sworn she recorded that open song in 99 tho ...
Am really referring to 2000-2001..

She probably just needed a break from music, because she overworked herself. I think they filmed Moesha until 2001. She was busy

Wow. This is such an interesting morsel from the Oprah interview.

Quote from: SonjaI think Brandy felt guilty about her success and couldn't really enjoy it because her friends didn't have the kind of life she had. So she gave her friends very expensive gifts, which was her way of trying to say "I love you." But that wasn't the answer, because she discovered over time that those people were not her true friends. Even now she still tries to please people.

"Open" captured the best phase of Bran's voice.

It was very personal. A lot of the things she sung about actually happened like on I Thought ("didn't I protect you when they were after you") woo ya'll just don't know.

I think because the relationship the album is based on wasn't publicized it may not seem personal like NSN and Afro. Full Moon was about her life behind the scenes which makes it more personal in some ways.

True. I fought Should I Go sort of addresses it in a roundabout way.

But maybe she was in a different space by time she recorded the album. Like for the next album I wonder if it will focus on her last relationship because so much time has passed and she's in a different place. The album she records now will be nothing like he album she would have recorded a year ago.

Yeah. Too much time between the two albums. She was coming off a MAJOR era and left us for a lil too long.

I will NEVER forget hearing "Open" for the first time also. She completely had me wondering how and why she sounded so different but I LOVED it!
