At this point, chaos swirling, we move into the bathroom. Perching on the edge of the shower, she explains that the delays around Ctrl were because of a kind of blinding paralysis brought on by anxiety, which affects her ?awfully?. ?I freestyle everything, all the way down. And I listen back and think, what?s ****ty? And if something?s too ****ty and I can?t put my finger on it, and I think, wow this sucks to me, then I get way frustrated, and usually scrap the song.? She says that?s what happened with Ctrl. That, and the fact that she gets lost on tangents too easily. She says her mother has always complained about her loose sense of time. ?Everyone I?ve ever dated have been complaining about that. ?What? I haven?t seen you in three days, relax!? They?re like, ?I haven?t seen you in six months, what are you talking about?? But that?s just the way it is.?
Eventually, Rowe explains, Ctrl came out in June because ?they cut me off?. So who decided it was finished? ?They just took my hard drive from me. That was all. I just kept ****ing everything up. I just kept moving **** around. I was choosing from 150, 200 songs, so I?m just like, who knows what?s good any more?? She doesn?t know who took it, just that it was gone from the safe in the studio one day. So after all that, this Ctrl isn?t necessarily the Ctrl you would have put out? ?No, absolutely not. Any longer and I probably wouldn?t ? I?m also driving myself ****ing crazy, so I don?t know. Give me another month and it would have been something completely different.?
However, she doesn?t think we?ll have to wait so long for the follow-up. ?No! I have less anxiety about the things that hindered me putting this album out, so I?ll probably be done in the next six months.? On the next one, she wants to look outwards instead of in, and write about the world. ?The woorrrrld,? she whispers, conspiratorially. ?Other people. I feel like we?re all connected anyway.?

A lot of artists are like this. there just isn't anyone forcing brandy to put hers out ssdddf scrapping shit left and right
Most of them are weirdos but I love it to an extent
I mean I get it
But as an artist, you got to also have vision and focus
I can't imagine Prince or Mj just being so scatterbrained and scrapping every damn thing :dead:
Glad the label stepped in, escorted her out and took the shit. Don't nobody got time for you to continuously play in a studio :dead:

I remember when she got asked about Black pepper and she said she didn't even know who had the song :plzstop:
The fact that it was considered to be her first single and she didn't know who had the song makes me scream
You can tell she has hundreds of unfinished songs lying around :dead:
Producers are probably pissed she never finishes
OMG I'm mad we never got Black Pepper
And the rumors about the mess were that it was FIRE
I'm so pissed about a lot with Brandy, it's a build up
SZA be lying.
This story was completely different leading up to the album. She told Big Boy how she sequenced it and just finished the track list.
I guess, gorl.

I'm so mad Kanye stepped in, TAOL is just ok to me cause I could tell the disconnect from the rest imo
Cause I'm assuming they had a plan laid out
Black Pepper
WIS2U
Then possibly I Tried or Focus? 🤷🏿♂️
I mean ... that's my favorite album and I just need to finally KNOW how it sounds in its completion! That's my dying wish.
:stressed:
Brandy really is best when she works with 1 producer for an alberm. And does a set body of songs

Doubt it.
She probably turned it in, and kept running in every other day to change it after letting Punch have it. Then, one day she ran in to change it and it was gone.
I don't think it was like "Oh, they took my music and picked songs."
She said in interviews she chose the track list, turned it in, but still wasn't confident. They just got tired of her changing an album they felt was perfect.
Kanye is the same way. Gave the album to TIDAL and kept tweaking songs & production for months after release.
This Scooby Doo episode plot doesn't even sound believable.

I'm realizing she needs media training. Depending on her mood, she can be a mess. The story she told about Rihanna made it seem like Rihanna was begging her for music. She could have told it a little more polished. NnnjjhNNNNNNNNN
She's so weird to me.

And she seems a little spacey. Her Hot 97 interview was weird as fuck, but she literally told them she was having bad anxiety and her mind wasn't there.
I think it's bad anxiety, and trying hard to keep up this version of herself she created.

Yeah. She lies! The stories behind the songs on the album are bullshit too.
Love her, but she isn't genuine 100% of the time. And who in music really is? But all this shit is new for her. Adjusting to all this attention from her music, feeling pressure to be interesting and "deep" (she knows people expect that from her), and all this newfound attention after her weight loss.
I feel for her, because I know it has to be a lot. And it's happening fast. But she'll feel better if she just starts being herself more. You don't have to force being interesting.

Jhene is really good at being phoney :dead: IMO .. lolz she was way different right up until her debut came out (lowkey messy, actually) but it's cool that she's giving more of a mysterious artist vibe now I guess.
