Title: Do you think that Bran could benefit from a surprise album?
Post by: GLOCK on November 03, 2018, 05:30:00 PM
No singles.
No video immediately.
Just an album.

What do you think?

I honestly don?t know why ppl even bother with singles before anymore.

Just release it and see which track ppl react to the best and promote that one.

I think she?d also benefit from a tour bundle.

Not a surprise but definitely not the traditional style of singles and pushbacks, i know that. 

?Hey guys, dropping next week? would do it for me. She?ll always have buzz and her streams will be cute/decent
Title: Re: Do you think that Bran could benefit from a surprise album? Hey

Working a single on urban radio takes months. So if y?all want a single say hello to next year  :cheerup:

Also urban radio has the longest radio freeze...good luck moving a song between thanksgiving and Xmas.

No.
Release a single and video. Then within a week or two release the album.

She just needs to release the whole mess .. I'm going to be optimistic and just assume she's taking so long because she's secretly recording a video for every single song on the album ...

Single/video released as a surprise, and the album comes out a month later. I think the surprise album is too gimmicky now.

That would work. It'll eliminate any of the inevitable Beyonce headlines to come with a surprise release. Brandy doesn't need that.

I just think she needs to be organized with this era. I loved how Adele had her last era well planed out and executed so clean.

I know Brandy can accomplish anything if she just focus and puts her mind to it. And for goodness sakes atleast four singles this era. Don't give up after 2 singles.

Remind people of who you are Brandy!!!!!!

If material is groundbreaking I think she could do wonders. The promo after has to be set as well as a strategic plan, styling, interviews, etc.
. I can see her pulling a Solange ASATT or that Dangelo surprise album mess
Title: Re: Do you think that Bran could benefit from a surprise album?

I think a ?surprise? single & video. then album 2-4 weeks after.
I hope not too long of a wait between single and album

I like this. Maybe 2 songs and 2 videos like Solange did her last era. Would be nice if the videos connect somehow and tell a story. She and DJ Camper and Ray J keep sayin its a movie so that would b dope. Then album and tour announcement 3 weeks after to finish the story/movie. That will give her enuf time to know what song to push at radio and what songs the fans will like most when the album drops to push next.

And a #BlackBarbie campaign online would be dope. Social media promo is more effective these days than a Good Morning America performance. It'd be more impactful if she films performances of a few songs from her new album and upload them on her VEVO page. Tease us with them and release them the week of the album release. Book a performance on Ellen and Jimmy and do that Carpool Karaoke mess and call it a day.

Well I certainly don't see how the traditional route benefits anyone anymore.

Long winded campaigns seems like a waste of coin unless you're sure you can make a profit from touring afterwards.

I'd love a surprise Brandy album!

By that I mean a "Christmas Album" or "Never Say Never" (Unreleased Songs) 20 Anniversary Addition etc

I'm looking forward to a full and proper promotion for her new material tho.

:receipts:

The Solange way would be smarter for her... she shoot dope videos for the 2 songs she started shopping around at the impromptu listening sessions, have the album packaged and just release everything in a week or 2 time frame

who cares about sales at this point for her? It would be a surprise if she actually did do big numbers. Just give us content. The album, then some videos and performances/tour

Post by: Hatsumomo on November 05, 2018, 08:40:17 AM
She could very well do big numbers this time around because with Chicago and her various other projects she's attracted more fans. Its simple math. I'm more so worried about the execution of the new music. She shouldn't wait !

!!!

Realistically I'd like a December 14th Release
Maybe a single or some promo released earlier in the week or week prior to gain some buzz

Do about 30-40k Pure , 75k+ w/ Streams

Hope to go Gold w/ touring by the end of the Summer or something

and hopefully some decently received singles that can be cemented into her catalog

Hopefully some Grammy noms/wins because the music is just THAT damn good
